Question 1 of 9

Which verb correctly completes the sentence? After throwing their sleeping bags into the backseat of their car, they ___ more than 400 miles to reach their destination.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the action of driving more than 400 miles is a past action that already took place after they threw their sleeping bags into the backseat. 'Drove' is the correct past tense form of the verb to match this past action. Choice A, 'Driving,' is in the present participle form and does not correctly indicate the completion of the action in the past. Choice B, 'Having driven,' is in the present perfect form and does not fit the sequence of events in the sentence. Choice D, 'Had drove,' is incorrect due to the incorrect use of 'had' with the past form of 'drive.' Therefore, the most appropriate choice is 'Drove.'

Question 2 of 9

A person who is ravenous is:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "hungry." The term 'ravenous' specifically refers to being extremely hungry or famished. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'ravenous.' Being generous, outspoken, or friendly does not directly relate to the intense hunger implied by the word 'ravenous.'

Question 3 of 9

To implement something is to:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'cause it to happen.' 'Implement' means to put something into action or cause it to happen. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the meaning of 'implement.' Preventing something from occurring (Choice A), emphasizing the importance of something (Choice B), and following something from beginning to end (Choice D) are all different actions or concepts that do not align with the definition of 'implement.'

Question 4 of 9

In the address 'Mr. Ryan, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC 20003,' which word is the salutation?

Correct Answer: D

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

Question 5 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 6 of 9

What is the correct subjunctive verb to complete the sentence? 'If I ___ you, I'd leave now.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Were.' In the subjunctive mood, we use 'were' for hypothetical or unreal situations. The sentence should read, 'If I were you, I'd leave now.' Choice B ('Is') is incorrect because it is not in the subjunctive form. Choice C ('Be') is incorrect as it is the base form and not the correct form for the subjunctive mood. Choice D ('Was') is incorrect as it is the past tense form and not used in the subjunctive mood.

Question 7 of 9

Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'Most children must learn for ___ the importance of good manners.'

Correct Answer: D

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

Question 8 of 9

Select the meaning of the word 'parameters' in the sentence: 'The parameters of medical ethics require the nurse to report suspected child abuse.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the sentence provided, 'parameters' refer to the limits or boundaries set by medical ethics that dictate the nurse's actions. This term does not directly relate to laws (choice A), common sense (choice C), or structure (choice D) in this context. The correct answer is 'B - Limits,' as it aligns with the idea of boundaries or restrictions within which the nurse must operate according to medical ethics.

Question 9 of 9

Which phrase is NOT used correctly in the sentence?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. "Do to" should be corrected to "due to" in this context. The sentence should read, "The client's hospital stay was prolonged, due to a superinfection." The phrase "due to" is the appropriate choice to indicate the cause of the prolonged hospital stay. Choices B, C, and D are all used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.
