1. Which part of the sentence contains a typographical error?

• A. To a
• B. Very strong
• C. Being
• D. Went from

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The phrase 'Went form' contains a typographical error. It should be 'went from' to indicate the change in condition correctly. Choice A 'To a,' choice B 'Very strong,' and choice C 'Being' are grammatically correct and do not contain any typographical errors in the given sentence.

2. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. Apply the gel on the gingival margin around the selected teeth using the blunt-tipped applicator included in the package.

• A. Edge
• B. Grease
• C. Incisor
• D. Cavity

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, the word 'margin' refers to the border or edge of the gums around the teeth. The gel is supposed to be applied on the gingival margin, which means on the edge or border of the gums near the selected teeth. Choice B, 'Grease,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the application of gel on the gums. Choice C, 'Incisor,' refers to a type of tooth and is unrelated to the context of applying gel on the gingival margin. Choice D, 'Cavity,' is also unrelated as it refers to a decayed area in a tooth and not the border of the gums.

3. What term refers to the description of events in the order of their occurrence?

• A. Chronology
• B. Notation
• C. Documentation
• D. Helicon

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Chronology,' which specifically means the arrangement of events in the order of their occurrence. 'Notation' refers to a system of symbols or signs used to represent information. 'Documentation' is the process of recording information, while 'Helicon' does not relate to the description of events.

4. Choose the meaning of the word 'predispose' in the following sentence: 'Being overweight may predispose a person to diabetes.'

• A. Make susceptible
• B. Bring to light
• C. Save from harm
• D. Pass over

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, the word 'predispose' means to create a tendency or susceptibility towards a particular condition or outcome. It implies an increased likelihood or vulnerability. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because 'predispose' does not mean 'bring to light,' 'save from harm,' or 'pass over.' The correct choice is A as it accurately reflects the idea of making someone more susceptible to a specific condition or situation.

5. Select the meaning of the word 'intact' in the sentence: 'It is important that the bandage remain intact.'

• A. Dry
• B. Whole
• C. Uncovered
• D. Secure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Whole'. In this context, 'intact' means undisturbed or whole, referring to the bandage being complete and not damaged. Choice A, 'Dry', is incorrect as it does not reflect the meaning of 'intact' in this sentence. Choice C, 'Uncovered', is also incorrect as 'intact' does not imply uncovered but rather complete. Choice D, 'Secure', is not the best fit as 'intact' in this context emphasizes the undamaged or whole nature of the bandage.
