1. If someone is disseminating information, what are they doing?

• A. Hiding it
• B. Broadcasting it
• C. Destroying it
• D. Withholding it

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Broadcasting it.' Disseminating information means spreading or sharing it widely to reach a broader audience. Choice A, 'Hiding it,' is incorrect as disseminating involves making information known, not concealing it. Choice C, 'Destroying it,' is incorrect as disseminating means to distribute, not to eliminate. Choice D, 'Withholding it,' is incorrect because withholding information means keeping it back rather than sharing it openly.

2. Select the word that means 'take into the body.'

• A. congest
• B. ingest
• C. collect
• D. suppress

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'ingest.' The word 'ingest' means to take into the body, typically referring to food or drink. Choice A, 'congest,' means to block or fill up with fluid. Choice C, 'collect,' means to bring or gather together. Choice D, 'suppress,' means to prevent something from happening or to restrain.

3. The word STAGGERED means .

• A. Fell
• B. Fumbled
• C. Stumbled
• D. Pirouetted

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'staggered' is associated with unsteadiness or imbalance in movement. Stumbling is the most suitable synonym among the given choices to convey this meaning. 'Fell,' 'fumbled,' and 'pirouetted' do not accurately capture the idea of unsteadiness or imbalance conveyed by the word 'staggered.' 'Fell' generally means coming down from a standing position, 'fumbled' implies clumsiness or mishandling, and 'pirouetted' refers to a specific graceful ballet move, none of which align with the meaning of 'staggered.'

4. Choose the meaning of the word rationale in the following sentence: "Step-by-step, the doctor explained the rationale for the treatment."

• A. Reasoning
• B. Prescription
• C. Procedure
• D. Necessity

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Corrected Question: In this context, the word 'rationale' refers to the underlying reasoning or justification for the treatment being explained step-by-step by the doctor. It pertains to the logical basis or thought process behind the chosen course of action. 'Prescription' (Choice B), 'Procedure' (Choice C), and 'Necessity' (Choice D) do not accurately capture the meaning of 'rationale' in the sentence provided.

5. What does 'deteriorating' mean?

• A. Improving
• B. Worsening
• C. Staying the same
• D. Fluctuating

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Worsening.' Deteriorating refers to something getting worse over time, not improving (choice A), staying the same (choice C), or fluctuating (choice D).
