1. The healthcare provider asked about the patient's CONDITION.

• A. A place in society
• B. Ability to pay
• C. Whereabouts
• D. Physical state

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In a medical setting, when a healthcare provider asks about a patient's 'condition,' they are typically inquiring about the patient's physical state or health status. This encompasses aspects such as vital signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment progress, and overall well-being. 'A place in society,' 'Ability to pay,' and 'Whereabouts' are unrelated to the patient's health status and are not typically what a healthcare provider would ask about in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Physical state,' as it aligns best with the context of healthcare and patient care.

2. Select the meaning of the word 'intact' in the sentence: 'It is important that the bandage remain intact.'

• A. Dry
• B. Whole
• C. Uncovered
• D. Secure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Whole'. In this context, 'intact' means undisturbed or whole, referring to the bandage being complete and not damaged. Choice A, 'Dry', is incorrect as it does not reflect the meaning of 'intact' in this sentence. Choice C, 'Uncovered', is also incorrect as 'intact' does not imply uncovered but rather complete. Choice D, 'Secure', is not the best fit as 'intact' in this context emphasizes the undamaged or whole nature of the bandage.

3. What is the best description for the term Aseptic?

• A. Sterilized
• B. Purified
• C. Contaminated
• D. Polluted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Purified.' Aseptic means free from contamination or sterile. While 'Sterilized' (choice A) is related to the elimination of all microorganisms, aseptic goes beyond sterilization to ensure freedom from contamination in a broader sense. 'Contaminated' (choice C) and 'Polluted' (choice D) are incorrect as they mean the opposite of aseptic, implying the presence of unwanted or harmful substances.

4. Which adjective best completes the sentence?

• A. More greater
• B. Great
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Best' is the correct choice because it conveys the highest quality or degree in comparison, which is appropriate in this context. The sentence is discussing the opinion of coffee experts about a particular coffee blend, indicating that it is the most superior among the options. Choices A, B, and D are grammatically incorrect or redundant. 'More greater' is incorrect due to the redundant use of 'more' and 'greater.' 'Great' is a comparative form that does not fit the superlative context required. 'More greatest' is incorrect due to the unnecessary use of 'more' alongside 'greatest,' which is already a superlative form.

5. Which verb correctly completes the sentence? After throwing their sleeping bags into the backseat of their car, they ___ more than 400 miles to reach their destination.

• A. Driving
• B. Having driven
• C. Drove
• D. Had drove

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the action of driving more than 400 miles is a past action that already took place after they threw their sleeping bags into the backseat. 'Drove' is the correct past tense form of the verb to match this past action. Choice A, 'Driving,' is in the present participle form and does not correctly indicate the completion of the action in the past. Choice B, 'Having driven,' is in the present perfect form and does not fit the sequence of events in the sentence. Choice D, 'Had drove,' is incorrect due to the incorrect use of 'had' with the past form of 'drive.' Therefore, the most appropriate choice is 'Drove.'
