1. In the United States, drivers drive cars on the _____ side of the road.

• A. Rite
• B. Left
• C. Off-side
• D. Right

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the United States, drivers drive on the 'right' side of the road. This is the standard practice in the country. Choice A 'Rite' is incorrect as it is a misspelling of 'Right.' Choice B 'Left' is incorrect as driving on the left side is common in countries like the UK, not the US. Choice C 'Off-side' is incorrect as it is not a standard term used to describe the side of the road where people drive in the US.

2. What does Abstain mean?

• A. To voluntarily refrain from something
• B. To consume something
• C. To eat
• D. To encourage

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'To voluntarily refrain from something.' Abstain means to choose not to do or have something, especially something you like or enjoy. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because abstain does not mean to consume something, to eat, or to encourage. It specifically refers to the act of voluntarily refraining from an action or practice.

3. To be convoluted is to be _______.

• A. Complex
• B. Clever
• C. Candid
• D. Asinine

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Complex.' The term 'convoluted' is used to describe something that is intricate, complex, or twisted. 'Clever' (choice B) means showing intelligence or skill, 'Candid' (choice C) means truthful and straightforward, and 'Asinine' (choice D) means extremely foolish or silly. These choices do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'convoluted.'

4. What does 'defecate' mean?

• A. To retain feces
• B. To expel feces
• C. To eliminate fluid
• D. To excrete mucus

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To expel feces.' Defecate refers to the act of eliminating solid waste from the body. Choice A, 'To retain feces,' is incorrect as defecation involves getting rid of feces. Choices C and D, 'To eliminate fluid' and 'To excrete mucus,' are also incorrect as they do not accurately define the term 'defecate.'

5. The Ramifications of a course of treatment are that treatment's ______

• A. Effectiveness
• B. Consequences
• C. Complications
• D. Outcomes

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Consequences.' Ramifications refer to the consequences of a particular course of action or treatment. In this context, 'Effectiveness' (Choice A) is not the most appropriate term as ramifications are more about the results or outcomes beyond just effectiveness. 'Complications' (Choice C) are adverse effects or issues that arise, not necessarily the overall consequences. 'Outcomes' (Choice D) is close in meaning but not as synonymous with ramifications as 'Consequences' is.
