1. Which term best describes a synthetic drug?

• A. man-made
• B. phony
• C. atypical
• D. futile

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A synthetic drug is one that is artificially created in a laboratory setting rather than occurring naturally. The term 'man-made' accurately describes this process. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Phony' means fake or fraudulent, not specifically related to synthetic drugs. 'Atypical' means unusual or not typical, which doesn't directly relate to how synthetic drugs are made. 'Futile' means pointless or ineffective, which is not a characteristic of synthetic drugs.

2. A restricted diet is ___________.

• A. low in fat
• B. vegetarian
• C. banned
• D. limited

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A restricted diet is limited in some way, such as reducing the intake of certain foods, food groups, or nutrients. It may involve limitations on quantity, frequency, or types of foods consumed. This restriction could be related to health factors, allergies, sensitivities, ethical reasons, or personal preferences. Choice A, 'low in fat,' is too specific and does not encompass the broad concept of restriction in a diet. Choice B, 'vegetarian,' refers to a specific dietary pattern but does not necessarily indicate restriction. Choice C, 'banned,' is incorrect as it implies a complete prohibition rather than limitation, which is characteristic of a restricted diet.

3. What does the quoted word 'equilibrium' mean in the following sentence?

• A. Ability to speak
• B. Sense of taste
• C. Sense of balance
• D. Ability to swallow

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Sense of balance.' In the sentence provided, 'equilibrium' refers to a state of physical balance or stability. The client lost his balance when he woke up, indicating a loss of stability or equilibrium. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'equilibrium' specifically refers to balance, not the ability to speak, sense of taste, or ability to swallow.

4. The breastbone may be called the ___________.

• A. stelic
• B. steres
• C. sterol
• D. sternum

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The breastbone is called the sternum. It is a flat bone located in the center of the chest that connects the ribs together and protects the heart and lungs. The term 'stelic' (choice A), 'steres' (choice B), and 'sterol' (choice C) are not correct terminologies for the breastbone.

5. Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? She went to the party ___ her dislike for the host.

• A. Despite of
• B. Even though
• C. Although
• D. In spite of

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct phrase to complete the sentence is 'In spite of.' This phrase is used to indicate that an action is taken despite a particular circumstance or feeling. In this case, she went to the party in spite of her dislike for the host, meaning she attended the party regardless of her negative feelings towards the host. Choice A, 'Despite of,' is incorrect as the correct phrase is 'Despite,' without the preposition 'of.' Choice B, 'Even though,' is not the best fit in this context as it does not express the contrast between attending the party and disliking the host as effectively as 'In spite of.' Choice C, 'Although,' is also not the most suitable choice as it is used to introduce a contrast, but 'In spite of' provides a stronger emphasis on the contradiction between attending the party and disliking the host.
