Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Getting worse.' When a patient's condition is deteriorating, it means that their health is declining or worsening. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because improving, stabilizing, and reversing all indicate positive changes or holding steady, which are the opposite of deteriorating.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B) Made worse.' Exacerbated means to make a condition more severe or intense. Therefore, if a symptom is exacerbated, it is getting worse, not improving (choice A), staying the same (choice C), or ameliorated (choice D), which means to improve or make better.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Entering into a body part.' 'Invasive' refers to something that invades or penetrates into a body part. Choice A, 'Harmless,' is incorrect as invasive implies a negative impact. Choice C, 'Mildly irritating,' is incorrect as invasive implies a more serious intrusion. Choice D, 'Non-penetrative,' is incorrect as invasive specifically denotes penetration or entry.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'graduated.' In reported speech, the verb tense often shifts back, so 'graduated' (past tense) is the appropriate choice here. 'Completes' (present tense), 'finishes' (present tense), and 'finished' (past tense) are incorrect as they do not match the reported speech context where the verb tense typically shifts back. Therefore, 'graduated' is the most suitable choice to complete the sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Ominous means giving the impression that something bad or unpleasant is going to happen; threatening; inauspicious. This choice is correct as it accurately reflects the meaning of the term 'Ominous.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they all suggest a lack of importance, danger, or threat, which is opposite to the actual meaning of 'Ominous.'
