Question 1 of 9

Which phrase should be moved to the end of the sentence? 'The painter decided to use the urn as his subject with flowers on the table.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Moving 'with flowers on the table' to the end of the sentence improves the sentence flow and clarity. This placement helps to maintain a logical sequence of events, enhancing the reader's understanding. Choice A, 'as his subject,' is an integral part of the main action and should not be moved. Choice C, 'use the urn as his subject,' disrupts the verb-object relationship and makes the sentence less coherent. Choice D, 'with the urn,' lacks context and does not provide a smooth transition when placed at the end of the sentence.

Question 2 of 9

What is the best description for the term Aseptic?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Purified.' Aseptic means free from contamination or sterile. While 'Sterilized' (choice A) is related to the elimination of all microorganisms, aseptic goes beyond sterilization to ensure freedom from contamination in a broader sense. 'Contaminated' (choice C) and 'Polluted' (choice D) are incorrect as they mean the opposite of aseptic, implying the presence of unwanted or harmful substances.

Question 3 of 9

A symptom that is exacerbated is ______

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Made worse.' When a symptom is exacerbated, it means that it is becoming more severe or intense. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. A is the opposite of exacerbated as improving means getting better, C means remaining unchanged, and D means to make something better or improve, which is the opposite of exacerbate.

Choice D, 'Has a greenish tint,' is incorrect as sallow skin is not greenish.

Question 7 of 9

Before his death at age 82, comedian Rodney Dangerfield's motto was, 'I don't get _____.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: respect.' Rodney Dangerfield was famously known for his catchphrase 'I don't get no respect,' which perfectly aligns with the concept of respect being his motto. The other choices, 'B: sympathy,' 'C: attention,' and 'D: care,' do not accurately capture Dangerfield's well-known persona and catchphrase. Therefore, 'A: respect' is the most suitable answer.
