Question 1 of 5

Which phrase should be moved to improve sentence clarity? 'He opened the door slowly, trying not to wake the baby.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 2 of 5

Which sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: The team of players is winning.' The error in this sentence is a subject-verb agreement issue. 'Team' is a singular noun, so it should take a singular verb 'is' instead of 'are.' The subject-verb agreement rule states that singular subjects should be paired with singular verbs, while plural subjects should be paired with plural verbs. Choices A, C, and D all demonstrate correct subject-verb agreement as they correctly match singular subjects ('group,' 'list,' 'pile') with singular verbs ('is,' 'is,' 'is').

Question 3 of 5

The hospital accepts a certain quota of INDIGENT patients. What does indigent mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Indigent means impoverished or in need of financial assistance. In the context of the question, the hospital is willing to treat patients who are unable to afford medical care, indicating that indigent refers to those who are impoverished or lacking financial resources. Choice A, 'Wealthy,' is incorrect as indigent is the opposite of wealthy. Choice C, 'Educated,' is incorrect as being indigent is related to financial status, not education. Choice D, 'Healthy,' is incorrect as indigent does not refer to one's health status but rather their financial situation.

Question 4 of 5

What is another word for flux?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Flux is a term used to describe a discharge, which refers to the action of discharging or releasing something. In medical contexts, flux can specifically refer to a discharge of bodily fluids or matter. 'Flowing' (Choice A) is not a synonym of flux; it implies continuous movement rather than discharge. 'Restriction' (Choice B) and 'Absorption' (Choice C) are unrelated to the concept of flux and do not convey the same meaning.

Question 5 of 5

Something that is viscous is thick and sticky. Another word for this might be ______?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Gelatinous.' Viscous substances have a thick and sticky consistency, similar to the properties of gelatin. 'Watery' and 'fluid' are incorrect as they are opposite in meaning to viscous, which implies thickness and stickiness. 'Dry' is also incorrect as it does not capture the characteristic of being thick and sticky associated with viscosity.
