1. What does it mean when an apartment is advertised as being furnished?

A. It is equipped with articles of furniture
B. It has a high level of decor
C. It includes utilities like water and electricity
D. It is fully renovated

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'It is equipped with articles of furniture,' correctly defines a furnished apartment. When an apartment is advertised as furnished, it means that it comes with essential furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and other necessary items. Choice B is incorrect because being furnished does not necessarily relate to the decor level of the apartment. Choice C is incorrect as utilities like water and electricity are not typically included in the term 'furnished.' Choice D is also incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment is fully renovated, which refers to structural improvements rather than furniture.

2. What does the term 'bilingual' mean in the sentence: 'Being bilingual is an advantage for a nurse'?

A. Able to speak more than one language
B. Able to use either hand
C. Not squeamish about blood
D. Can remember everything

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Able to speak more than one language.' In the context provided, 'bilingual' refers to the ability to speak two languages. This is advantageous for a nurse who may need to communicate with patients from diverse linguistic backgrounds. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the meaning of 'bilingual' as the ability to speak multiple languages.

3. What is another word for ANTICIPATE?

A. Predict
B. Evaluate
C. Compare
D. Forestall

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Predict.' Anticipate and predict are synonyms, both implying foreknowledge or expectation. 'B: Evaluate,' 'C: Compare,' and 'D: Forestall' do not directly relate to the meaning of anticipate and are therefore incorrect choices.

4. It is required that he _____ payment immediately.

A. make
B. sends
C. sent
D. deliver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'make.' In this context, 'make' is the correct verb to use with 'payment.' The sentence structure requires a base form of the verb after 'required that.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'sends,' 'sent,' and 'deliver' do not match the structure needed in this sentence.

5. What does 'Cease' mean?

A. Start
B. Come to an end
C. Pause
D. Skip

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Come to an end.' Cease means to stop or come to an end. Choice A, 'Start,' is the opposite of what Cease means. Choice C, 'Pause,' implies a temporary stop, which is not the same as coming to an end. Choice D, 'Skip,' means to omit or bypass, which is different from the meaning of Cease.
