1. The abbreviation YOB on a medical form refers to a patient’s ___________.

• A. weight
• B. ethnicity
• C. symptoms
• D. birthdate

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The abbreviation YOB stands for 'Year of Birth.' It is used on medical forms to refer to a patient's birthdate, indicating the year in which the individual was born. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because YOB does not pertain to weight, ethnicity, or symptoms; it specifically relates to the patient's birthdate.

2. The bad smell made him __________.

• A. Gag
• B. Enjoy
• C. Remember
• D. Attach

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The bad smell would likely make him gag, which is a physical reaction to an unpleasant odor. Gagging is a common response to strong or foul smells as the body seeks to expel the offending odor. Enjoy, Remember, and Attach do not accurately reflect a likely reaction to a bad smell.

3. Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? 'During the fight, I was hit on ___.'

• A. Head
• B. On head
• C. A head
• D. The head

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Head.' The phrase 'on the head' is a prepositional phrase indicating where the person was hit. 'Head' is the correct noun to complete the sentence. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they either add unnecessary articles ('a' or 'the') or incorrectly use the preposition 'on' before 'head.' The correct structure is 'hit on the head,' without any additional articles.

4. What is Diffusion?

• A. Movement of materials from low concentration to high concentration
• B. Movement of materials from high concentration to low concentration
• C. Absorption of nutrients
• D. Breaking of materials

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Diffusion is the process where substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This movement occurs due to the random motion of particles and continues until equilibrium is reached. Choice A is incorrect because diffusion occurs down the concentration gradient, from high to low concentration, not from low to high concentration. Choice C is incorrect as it refers to the uptake of substances by cells, not the general process of diffusion. Choice D is incorrect as it does not accurately describe the process of diffusion; diffusion involves the movement of substances, not the breaking of materials.

5. It seems like the sun _____ on Saturday.

• A. never shines
• B. never shone
• C. rarely shines
• D. sometimes shines

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'never shone' as the sentence is discussing a past event (Saturday). 'Never shone' is the correct past tense form to describe the sun not shining on a specific day in the past. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not provide the appropriate past tense form needed in this context. 'Never shines' is present tense, 'rarely shines' implies occasional shining, and 'sometimes shines' suggests occasional shining as well, none of which accurately convey the past event of the sun not shining on Saturday.
