1. If a lump under the skin is palpable, what is true?

• A. It is malignant.
• B. It has burst.
• C. It is warm.
• D. It can be felt.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If a lump under the skin is palpable, it means that it can be felt or touched. Palpable lumps can be detected by touch, which can lead to further evaluation or examination by a healthcare professional to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. The correct answer is 'D' because when a lump is palpable, it means it can be physically felt, indicating its presence under the skin. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the palpability of a lump does not automatically indicate malignancy, bursting, or warmth.

2. Finishing isn't as important as answering correctly.

• A. Quick
• B. As quick
• C. So quickist
• D. Quickly

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, 'quickly' is the correct adverb form that should be used to modify the verb 'answering.' 'Quickly' is the adverb form needed here to describe how the action is performed. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not provide the appropriate adverb form required in the sentence.

3. A surgeon who is adroit might be described as ______.

• A. Careless
• B. Skillful
• C. Inexperienced
• D. Lazy

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'adroit' means skillful or proficient. A surgeon who is adroit would be highly skilled and proficient in their work. Therefore, the most appropriate description for a surgeon who is adroit is 'skillful.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the positive attribute associated with being adroit.

4. The man's heart attack scared him badly and he decided to have a regular check-up.

• A. severely
• B. badly
• C. intensely
• D. profoundly

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'badly' is the appropriate adverb to describe the intensity of the fear caused by the heart attack. 'Severely' and 'intensely' do not convey the same meaning in this sentence. 'Profoundly' refers more to depth or seriousness of an emotion, which doesn't fit the context of fear caused by a heart attack.

5. To implement something is to:

• A. prevent it from occurring
• B. emphasize the importance of
• C. cause it to happen
• D. follow from beginning to end

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'cause it to happen.' 'Implement' means to put something into action or cause it to happen. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the meaning of 'implement.' Preventing something from occurring (Choice A), emphasizing the importance of something (Choice B), and following something from beginning to end (Choice D) are all different actions or concepts that do not align with the definition of 'implement.'
