1. 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.

2. The voice box may be called the ___________.

• A. larynx
• B. lynx
• C. pharynx
• D. phalanx

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, larynx. The voice box is commonly referred to as the larynx. It is an organ in the neck that contains the vocal cords and is responsible for producing sound. The other options are incorrect: B) lynx is a type of wildcat, C) pharynx is part of the throat involved in swallowing, and D) phalanx refers to the bones of the fingers or toes.

3. Which term refers to the surgical removal of an organ's contents?

• A. Excretion
• B. Evisceration
• C. Incision
• D. Reduction

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Evisceration.' Evisceration specifically means the surgical removal of an organ's contents. Choice A, 'Excretion,' is the process of eliminating waste products from the body and is not related to surgical procedures. Choice C, 'Incision,' refers to the act of cutting into the body, commonly done in surgeries but not specifically related to removing organ contents. Choice D, 'Reduction,' generally means to make something smaller or lessen its size, which is not the term used for the surgical removal of an organ's contents.

4. The student _____ for the final exam.

• A. was preparing
• B. was studying
• C. had studied
• D. is studying

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the given sentence, the past continuous tense 'was studying' is the most appropriate choice to indicate an ongoing action in the past. 'Was preparing' (choice A) implies a completed action rather than an ongoing one. 'Had studied' (choice C) is past perfect tense, which is not suitable for indicating an ongoing action. 'Is studying' (choice D) is present continuous tense and does not fit the past context of the sentence.

5. 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.
