Question 1 of 5
What is the best description for the abbreviation LDL?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A type of lipoprotein. LDL stands for Low-density lipoprotein, which is a type of lipoprotein that carries cholesterol through the bloodstream. LDL is often referred to as 'bad' cholesterol because high levels of LDL can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the abbreviation LDL.
Question 2 of 5
Choose the meaning of the word 'disintegrates' in the following sentence: 'It disintegrates in the mouth within seconds after placement on the tongue, allowing its contents to be swallowed with or without water.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The word 'disintegrates' means to break apart into smaller parts or fragments. In the sentence, it describes the process of the substance breaking down in the mouth. Therefore, the most appropriate meaning is 'Fragments.' 'Evaporates' means to turn into vapor, 'Fizzes' refers to the production of bubbles, and 'Deviates' means to depart from the norm, making them incorrect choices in the context of the sentence.
