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

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When someone is disseminating information, they are spreading it widely or broadcasting it to reach a larger audience. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 'Broadcasting it.' This process involves sharing information to make it widely known and accessible. Choice A, 'Withholding it,' is incorrect as it means keeping information back rather than sharing it. Choice C, 'Destroying it,' is incorrect as it means to eliminate or get rid of the information, which is the opposite of disseminating. Choice D, 'Complicating it,' is incorrect as it means making something more complex or difficult to understand rather than spreading it.

2. What does Latent mean?

• A. Easily seen
• B. Present but not active or visible
• C. Quick to react
• D. Actively growing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Present but not active or visible.' Latent refers to something that is existing but not yet developed or manifest. Choice A, 'Easily seen,' is incorrect as latent implies the opposite - not easily seen. Choice C, 'Quick to react,' is incorrect as latent does not imply a quick reaction but rather a hidden or dormant state. Choice D, 'Actively growing,' is incorrect as latent suggests the opposite - not actively growing but rather inactive or concealed.

3. Which bone is shorter in the forearm?

• A. Humerus
• B. Radius
• C. Scapula
• D. Fibula

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Radius. The forearm consists of two long bones: the radius and the ulna. The radius is located on the thumb side of the forearm and is shorter than the ulna, which is on the pinky side. The humerus is the bone located in the upper arm, the scapula is the shoulder blade bone, and the fibula is a bone in the lower leg. Therefore, they are not the shorter bone in the forearm.

4. What is another word for contemptuous?

• A. Sympathetic
• B. Exhausted
• C. Scornful
• D. Insensitive

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'contemptuous' means showing disdain or scorn for something or someone. Therefore, the word 'scornful' is the most closely related synonym to 'contemptuous' in this list. 'Sympathetic' means showing compassion, 'exhausted' means very tired, and 'insensitive' means lacking empathy. These options do not convey the same meaning as 'contemptuous'.

5. If you are an assiduous worker, you are probably ______.

• A. Lazy
• B. Industrious
• C. Inconsistent
• D. Procrastinating

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Industrious.' Assiduous means showing great care and perseverance in your work, which aligns with being industrious. Choice A, 'Lazy,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of assiduous. Choice C, 'Inconsistent,' does not directly relate to being assiduous, and choice D, 'Procrastinating,' suggests delaying tasks which is contrary to being assiduous.
