Question 1 of 9

Select the correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure: 'The nursing ___ put the Band- ___ on the wound to ___ the nurse.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure is 'aide, aid, aid.' 'Aide' refers to a person who assists (nursing aide), while 'aid' refers to help or assistance (Band-aid and aid the nurse). Therefore, the sequence 'aide, aid, aid' correctly completes the sentence. Choices A, C, and D have the incorrect order of words that do not fit the sentence context.

Question 2 of 9

Select the word that means 'open.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: 'Patent' is the correct answer as it means something that is open or unobstructed. Choices A, C, and D do not convey the meaning of 'open.' 'Inverted' means turned inside out or upside down, 'convent' refers to a religious community, and 'converted' means changed into a different form or function.

Question 3 of 9

Select the meaning of the word 'overt' in the sentence: 'Despite the absence of overt signs, Dr. Harris suspected Alicia might be suffering from the flu.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'apparent.' In the given sentence, 'overt' is used to describe signs that are evident or obvious. It indicates that Dr. Harris suspected Alicia might have the flu even though there were no clear or overt signs present. Choice A, 'concealed,' is incorrect as it means hidden or not easily visible, which is the opposite of 'overt.' Choices C and D, 'expert' and 'delectable,' are unrelated to the meaning of 'overt' in this context.

Question 4 of 9

What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't'. 'Willn't' (Choice B) is not a standard contraction in English. 'Wouldn't' (Choice C) is the contraction for 'would not,' not 'will not.' 'Will'nt' (Choice D) is not a recognized contraction in English. Therefore, 'won't' is the correct choice as the contraction for 'will not.'

Question 5 of 9

Which reflexive pronoun correctly completes the sentence? 'When a person finds ___ in a stressful situation, it helps to breathe deeply.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: 'Oneself' is the correct reflexive pronoun to use when referring to an unspecified person. In this sentence, 'oneself' is used to indicate any individual without specifying gender or number. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they refer to specific or known individuals, which does not fit the context of the sentence.

Question 6 of 9

Select the meaning of the word 'symmetric' in the sentence: 'The symmetric patterns of scarring were evident on the patient's back.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this context, 'symmetric' refers to patterns that correspond or are balanced on both sides, exhibiting symmetry. The scarring on the patient's back displayed a mirrored or corresponding arrangement. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'symmetric' does not mean scabbed, painful, or geometric in this sentence.

Question 7 of 9

Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'My sister gave the chocolate bar to my friend and ___.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Me.' In this sentence, 'me' is the correct object pronoun to use after the preposition 'to.' 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun used when the subject and object of the sentence refer to the same person, which is not the case here. 'Us' is the object form of 'we,' which is incorrect in this context. Therefore, 'Me' is the most suitable choice.

Question 8 of 9

What is the meaning of 'carnivore'?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'meat-eating.' The term 'carnivore' specifically refers to an animal that primarily consumes meat. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'hungry' means feeling the need to eat, 'infected' refers to being affected by a disease or pathogen, and 'demented' means to be mentally disturbed.

Question 9 of 9

What is the meaning of the word 'proscribe'?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'forbid.' 'Proscribe' means to officially forbid or prohibit something. Choice A, 'anticipate,' is incorrect as it means to expect or predict something. Choice B, 'prevent,' is incorrect as it means to stop something from happening. Choice C, 'defeat,' is incorrect as it means to overcome or win against someone or something, which is not the meaning of 'proscribe.' Therefore, the most appropriate meaning for 'proscribe' among the given choices is to forbid.
