1. The doctor said he wanted to try other things before attempting an __________ procedure.

• A. Internal
• B. Painful
• C. Experimental
• D. Expensive

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The term 'invasive' refers to a procedure that involves entering the body, usually with a medical instrument or device. In the context provided, the doctor wants to try other non-invasive or less invasive options before resorting to an invasive procedure. 'Experimental' means untested or not yet proven to be effective, which aligns with the idea of exploring alternative methods before considering a more invasive approach. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not relate to the context of trying alternative procedures that are different from invasive ones.

2. What is another word for PRECAUTION?

• A. Rule
• B. Routine procedure
• C. Preventive measure
• D. Habit

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Preventive measure.' A precaution is a preventive action taken to avoid harm or danger. 'Rule' (A) and 'Habit' (D) do not capture the essence of being cautious to prevent something negative. 'Routine procedure' (B) is related to a regular way of doing things, but it does not specifically imply taking action to prevent harm.

3. 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.'

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. What is the best description of an audit check?

• A. A restraint on appraisals
• B. A payment for inventory
• C. A test of hearing
• D. A review or inspection

Correct answer: D

Rationale: An audit check is a process of reviewing and inspecting financial records, transactions, or processes to ensure accuracy and compliance with established guidelines. It involves examining information systematically and thoroughly to verify its completeness and reliability. Option D, "A review or inspection," best describes an audit check. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not relate to the process of auditing financial records for accuracy and compliance.
