1. What is the emotional state of the man after becoming an invalid?

• A. Dejected
• B. Shamefully fearful
• C. Injured
• D. Symbiotic

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Dejected. After becoming INVALID, one is likely to feel dejected, meaning sad and disheartened due to feeling invalidated or rejected. It is a common emotional response to a situation where one's worth or validity is questioned or denied. Option B, shamefully fearful, does not directly relate to the emotional state associated with being an invalid. Option C, injured, does not capture the emotional aspect but rather focuses on the physical condition. Option D, symbiotic, refers to a mutually beneficial relationship between two different organisms and is not relevant to the emotional state of an individual after becoming an invalid.

2. What is the meaning of perused?

• A. Passed judgment on
• B. Engaged in
• C. Read thoroughly
• D. Took notes about

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Read thoroughly.' The word 'perused' means to read or examine carefully or in detail. It does not imply passing judgment, engaging in, or taking notes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'perused' specifically refers to reading thoroughly, not making judgments, participating in, or taking notes.

3. 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.

4. What is the best description for the abbreviation EEG?

• A. A test of brain activity
• B. A medical service
• C. A heartbeat monitor
• D. A specialist in dentistry

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'A test of brain activity.' EEG stands for Electroencephalogram, a test used to evaluate the electrical activity in the brain. It helps diagnose conditions like epilepsy, seizures, and other brain disorders. Choice B, 'A medical service,' is too broad and does not specifically refer to EEG. Choice C, 'A heartbeat monitor,' is incorrect as EEG does not monitor the heart. Choice D, 'A specialist in dentistry,' is unrelated to the abbreviation EEG.

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

• A. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
• B. 20003 (Area code)
• C. Ryan
• D. Mr.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D - Mr.' The salutation is the formal title used before a person's name, which in this case is 'Mr.' Other choices are incorrect as '1600 Pennsylvania Ave.' is the street address, '20003' is the zip code, and 'Ryan' is the recipient's name.
