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

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

Correct answer: B

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.

2. Nurse Junko and _______ will review the patient’s chart.

• A. She
• B. Them
• C. Me
• D. Him

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: She.' In this sentence, 'She' is the correct pronoun to use as the subject since it refers to Nurse Junko, who is one of the individuals performing the action. 'Them' (choice B), 'Me' (choice C), and 'Him' (choice D) are incorrect as they do not match the subject of the sentence, which is Nurse Junko.

3. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. The pain of childbirth may often be acute.

• A. Escalating
• B. Emergent
• C. Eased
• D. Intense

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word "acute" in this sentence means intense. Acute pain is sharp or severe, which accurately describes the level of pain experienced during childbirth. Choice A, "Escalating," suggests increasing pain over time, which is not necessarily implied by the word "acute." Choice B, "Emergent," means arising or coming into view, which does not capture the intensity of the pain. Choice C, "Eased," means to make less severe, which is the opposite of what is described in the sentence.

4. What does the quoted word 'impending' mean in the following sentence?

• A. Very serious
• B. Required
• C. Elective
• D. Soon to occur

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Soon to occur.' The word 'impending' is used to describe something that is about to happen or is soon to occur. In the context of the sentence provided, 'impending' operation indicates that the operation is about to take place. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'impending' does not mean 'very serious,' 'required,' or 'elective.' Instead, it specifically refers to the timing of the operation as being imminent.

5. Another word for AFFECT is?

• A. Reduce
• B. Contaminate
• C. Eliminate
• D. Influence

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Correct answer: Another word for AFFECT is INFLUENCE. Affect and influence are synonymous when used in the context of producing an effect on something or someone. Choice A, 'Reduce,' is incorrect as it means to make something smaller or lessen its quantity. Choice B, 'Contaminate,' is incorrect as it means to make something impure or harmful. Choice C, 'Eliminate,' is incorrect as it means to completely remove or get rid of something.
