1. A sore with disintegration of tissue might be called an ___________.

• A. allergy
• B. erythema
• C. alopecia
• D. ulcer

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A sore with disintegration of tissue is typically referred to as an ulcer. Ulcers are open sores or wounds that can develop on the skin's surface or within the body. They can vary in size and depth and are commonly associated with conditions such as pressure ulcers, peptic ulcers, and venous ulcers. Ulcers result from the breakdown of tissue, leading to a loss of the skin or mucous membrane in that area. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Allergy refers to a hypersensitivity reaction, erythema is redness of the skin, and alopecia is hair loss. These conditions do not specifically involve the disintegration of tissue as seen in an ulcer.

2. What is the grammatical category of the term 'biologists' in the sentence 'Most wildlife biologists disapprove of crossbreeding wolves and dogs'?

• A. Adjective
• B. Noun
• C. Verb
• D. Conjunction

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Biologists' is a noun in the sentence, referring to a group of people who study wildlife and their behaviors. In this context, 'biologists' is not describing or modifying another noun, making it a noun itself. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect.

3. What does the word Querulous mean?

• A. Shouting
• B. Complaining
• C. Crying
• D. Praising

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Complaining.' Querulous is an adjective that describes someone who is constantly complaining or irritable. It is not related to shouting (Choice A) or crying (Choice C). Choice D, 'Praising,' is the opposite of the meaning of querulous and therefore incorrect.

4. What does Distal mean?

• A. Closer to the point of attachment
• B. Further away from the point of attachment
• C. In the middle of the body
• D. On the surface of the skin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Distal means further away from the point of attachment. This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe the location of a body part relative to the point of attachment or the trunk. Choice A is incorrect because it describes the term Proximal, which means closer to the point of attachment. Choice C is incorrect as it describes the term Medial, which means toward the middle of the body. Choice D is incorrect as it describes the term Superficial, which means on or near the surface.

5. What does Medial mean?

• A. Away from the midline
• B. Toward the midline
• C. At the side
• D. Below the body

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Medial means toward the midline of the body. In anatomical terms, 'medial' refers to positions closer to the midline of the body, which divides the body into left and right halves. Choice A is incorrect as it describes 'lateral,' which means away from the midline. Choice C is incorrect as it describes 'lateral' or 'side.' Choice D is incorrect as it describes 'inferior,' which means below or lower in position.
