Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In real estate, when an apartment is described as 'furnished,' it means that it comes equipped with furniture. This typically includes essential items like beds, sofas, dining tables, and more.
Therefore, 'Equipped with furniture' is the correct meaning of 'furnished' in this context.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because being 'furnished' specifically refers to the presence of furniture in the apartment, not renovation status, utilities, or decor style.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The sentence 'The spy had to snake his way onto the train' correctly uses 'snake' as a verb. In this context, 'snake' is used to describe the spy's action of moving cunningly and stealthily, similar to how a snake slithers, making it the appropriate choice where 'snake' functions as a verb. The other choices use 'snake' as a noun to refer to the reptile itself or its movement, not as a verb.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'envelope.' The mail carrier typically delivers envelopes containing mail to every mailbox on the block. Envelopes are commonly used to protect and contain letters, making them the most suitable choice in this context.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because while the mail carrier may deliver letters, packages, or documents, the most common item placed in mailboxes is an envelope containing mail.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Indigent means impoverished or in need of financial assistance. In the context of the question, the hospital is willing to treat patients who are unable to afford medical care, indicating that indigent refers to those who are impoverished or lacking financial resources.
Choice A, 'Wealthy,' is incorrect as indigent is the opposite of wealthy.
Choice C, 'Educated,' is incorrect as being indigent is related to financial status, not education.
Choice D, 'Healthy,' is incorrect as indigent does not refer to one's health status but rather their financial situation.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In a medical setting, when a healthcare provider asks about a patient's 'condition,' they are typically inquiring about the patient's physical state or health status. This encompasses aspects such as vital signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment progress, and overall well-being. 'A place in society,' 'Ability to pay,' and 'Whereabouts' are unrelated to the patient's health status and are not typically what a healthcare provider would ask about in this context.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'Physical state,' as it aligns best with the context of healthcare and patient care.
