Question 1 of 5

A condition that is ongoing is ___________.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A condition that is ongoing implies that it is happening or existing continuously without interruption. Therefore, the most suitable word to describe such a state is 'continuous.' Choice A, 'rapid,' means fast or quick, which does not convey the idea of ongoingness. Choice C, 'partial,' means incomplete or fragmentary, which is the opposite of ongoing. Choice D, 'complete,' means finished or whole, which also does not align with the concept of ongoing.

Question 2 of 5

A restricted diet is ___________.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A restricted diet is limited in some way, such as reducing the intake of certain foods, food groups, or nutrients. It may involve limitations on quantity, frequency, or types of foods consumed. This restriction could be related to health factors, allergies, sensitivities, ethical reasons, or personal preferences. Choice A, 'low in fat,' is too specific and does not encompass the broad concept of restriction in a diet. Choice B, 'vegetarian,' refers to a specific dietary pattern but does not necessarily indicate restriction. Choice C, 'banned,' is incorrect as it implies a complete prohibition rather than limitation, which is characteristic of a restricted diet.

Question 4 of 5

Choose the meaning of the word 'supplement' in the following sentence: 'Calcium pills may be used to supplement your diet.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the sentence, the word 'supplement' is used to mean adding something extra to enhance or complete the diet. Therefore, the meaning of the word is 'add to.' Choice A ('Replace') is incorrect because 'supplement' does not mean to substitute or exchange. Choice C ('Reflect') is incorrect because 'supplement' does not mean to mirror or show. Choice D ('Parallel') is incorrect because 'supplement' does not mean to correspond or be similar in a particular way.

Question 5 of 5

Choose the meaning of the word 'quarantine' in the following sentence: 'The patients are under quarantine until further notice.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'quarantine' is used to convey the idea that the patients are isolated or separated from the general population. Quarantine is often implemented to prevent the spread of diseases or infections, and in this context, it implies confinement or isolation to ensure the safety of others. The other choices are incorrect because 'A' refers to specialized medical attention, 'B' refers to a specific medical treatment, and 'C' implies being held against one's will in a rehab facility, none of which capture the meaning of 'quarantine' as used in the sentence provided.
