1. Which word in the sentence needs to be corrected for proper grammar?
- A. About it
- B. A
- C. With
- D. Made
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The word 'A' should be corrected to 'an' in the sentence. The sentence should read, 'The nurse made an error with the medication, so the doctor made notes about it in the patient's file.' The article 'an' is used before a noun beginning with a vowel sound, like 'error' in this case. Choices A, C, and D are grammatically correct in the sentence and do not need to be altered.
2. Which reflexive pronoun correctly completes the sentence? 'When a person finds ___ in a stressful situation, it helps to breathe deeply.'
- A. Themselves
- B. Itself
- C. Yourself
- D. Oneself
Correct answer: D
Rationale: 'Oneself' is the correct reflexive pronoun to use when referring to an unspecified person. In this sentence, 'oneself' is used to indicate any individual without specifying gender or number. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they refer to specific or known individuals, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
3. Select the word that means 'on both sides.'
- A. bilateral
- B. insufficient
- C. bicuspid
- D. congruent
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'bilateral.' 'Bilateral' means having two sides or affecting both sides. 'Insufficient' means not enough or inadequate, 'bicuspid' refers to a two-pointed tooth, and 'congruent' means in agreement or harmony. Therefore, 'bilateral' is the only word among the choices that specifically relates to being on both sides.
4. Select the word that means 'an undesired problem that is the result of some other event.'
- A. Complication
- B. Complement
- C. Procedures
- D. Implemented
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Complication.' A complication refers to a secondary issue or difficulty that arises unexpectedly due to another event. It represents an undesired outcome. Choice 'B: Complement' is incorrect as it means something that enhances or completes, not an undesired problem. Choice 'C: Procedures' is incorrect as it refers to methods or steps, not an undesired problem. Choice 'D: Implemented' is incorrect as it means carried out, not an undesired problem.
5. Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? 'As we celebrated the start of the evening festivities, our glasses ___ and a toast was made by our host.'
- A. Were risen
- B. Were rose
- C. Were raised
- D. Arose
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Were raised.' This phrase is the correct passive form, indicating the action of lifting the glasses during the toast. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'were risen' is not grammatically correct, 'were rose' is not the appropriate verb form, and 'arose' does not convey the action of lifting the glasses as required in the sentence.
