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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Inhibiting means to prevent, restrain, or impede. In the context of the sentence, inhibiting the action of a certain enzyme refers to hindering or slowing down the enzyme's activity. Choice A ('Occupying') is incorrect as inhibiting does not mean taking up space. Choice B ('Speeding') is incorrect as inhibiting does not mean to accelerate. Choice D ('Enhancing') is incorrect as inhibiting is the opposite of enhancing.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word 'mercurial' in this sentence means unpredictable or prone to sudden changes in mood or behavior. Justin's temperament can be characterized as unpredictable, which is causing him to not work well with others. Choice A, 'Continuous,' does not align with the meaning of 'mercurial' as it implies a steady, uninterrupted flow. Choice C, 'Mercenary,' refers to being primarily motivated by money or reward, which is not the context here. Choice D, 'Miraculous,' means extraordinary or remarkable, which is not the intended meaning in this sentence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this context, 'projected' is used to indicate an estimation or prediction of the duration of the treatment. Therefore, it aligns closest in meaning to 'estimated.' Choice A, 'Protruded,' means to extend beyond or above a surface, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Choice B, 'Guaranteed,' means to provide assurance, which is not the intended meaning in the sentence. Choice D, 'Alleged,' means to claim without proof, which is not the correct interpretation in this context.

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.
