Choice A, 'must always,' is used correctly to emphasize the necessity of starting a sentence with a capital letter. Choice B, 'simple,' is not the incorrect word in the sentence. Choice C, 'forget,' is also used appropriately in the sentence to indicate the action of neglecting the rule.

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: 'PRN' is a medical abbreviation that stands for 'pro re nata,' meaning 'as needed.' In this context, the medication is given to reduce symptoms as they arise. Choice A, 'Pinpoint,' does not align with the meaning of 'PRN.' Choices B and C, 'Relocate' and 'Eradicate,' are unrelated to the concept of 'as needed' medications.

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.
Question 7 of 9
Select the meaning of the word 'precipitous' in the sentence: 'The precipitous change was considered a good thing.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Abrupt.' In this context, 'precipitous' is used to describe a change that occurs suddenly or abruptly. Choice A ('Difficult') is incorrect as it does not capture the sudden nature of the change. Choice C ('Gentle') is incorrect as it conveys the opposite meaning of 'precipitous.' Choice D ('Unanticipated') is incorrect as it focuses on the element of surprise rather than the suddenness of the change.
Question 8 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 9 of 9

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'stop.' 'Suppress' means to stop or hold back something. Choice B, 'push up,' is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the meaning of 'suppress.' Choice C, 'release,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of 'suppress.' Choice D, 'strain,' is also incorrect as it does not capture the meaning of 'suppress.'
