    1. A medical doctor should show rectitude when performing his professional duties.

    Correct. Rectitude means that person is good or virtuous. We would want the doctor to be honest, good, virtuous while performing an exam or procedure.

    2. Tyrants are rulers who display great magnanimity.

    Wrong. This is extremely wrong. Tyrants are rulers who are the opposite of generous. A tyrant is seen as being cruel often due to selfishness.

    3. A person can always seek redress from harsh punishment if proven guilty.

    Wrong. Redress is similar to compensation or restitution. A guilty cannot be compensated for a harsh punishment. However, if the person found guilty is eventually pardoned because he was not found guilty after an appeal, he will be able to see redress.

    4. A true and caring friend can be trusted to commit acts of perfidy.

    Wrong. Perfidy means deceit. True and caring friends should be trustworthy and honest. They should not be deceitful.

    5. To acquiesce to others is frequently a sign of stubbornness and determination.

    Wrong. To acquiesce means to give in. A stubborn person does the opposite of giving in.

    6. Parents often impel their children to behave properly.

    Correct. Impel means to encourage or force someone to do something. Parents often try to get their children to behave properly.

    7. Whether or not the groundhog sees his shadow on Groundhog Day is an arbitrary occurrence that cannot be predicted based on set factors.

    Correct. Something that is arbitrary is random or by chance. This is true of the groundhog seeing his shadow. It is all random.
