1. The electrolytes in human bodies include sodium, potassium, calcium, and ___________, among others.

• A. magnesium
• B. manganese
• C. magnetite
• D. manganite

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Magnesium is another essential electrolyte in the human body, along with sodium, potassium, and calcium. Magnesium plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, regulating blood pressure, and supporting the immune system. Manganese (Choice B), magnetite (Choice C), and manganite (Choice D) are not electrolytes found in the human body. Manganese is a mineral but not an electrolyte, while magnetite and manganite are compounds and not essential electrolytes for bodily functions.

2. If a lump under the skin is palpable, what is true?

• A. It is malignant.
• B. It has burst.
• C. It is warm.
• D. It can be felt.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If a lump under the skin is palpable, it means that it can be felt or touched. Palpable lumps can be detected by touch, which can lead to further evaluation or examination by a healthcare professional to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. The correct answer is 'D' because when a lump is palpable, it means it can be physically felt, indicating its presence under the skin. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the palpability of a lump does not automatically indicate malignancy, bursting, or warmth.

3. Another word for AFFECT is?

• A. Reduce
• B. Contaminate
• C. Eliminate
• D. Influence

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Correct answer: Another word for AFFECT is INFLUENCE. Affect and influence are synonymous when used in the context of producing an effect on something or someone. Choice A, 'Reduce,' is incorrect as it means to make something smaller or lessen its quantity. Choice B, 'Contaminate,' is incorrect as it means to make something impure or harmful. Choice C, 'Eliminate,' is incorrect as it means to completely remove or get rid of something.

4. What does 'Obsolete' mean?

• A. Innovative
• B. Outdated
• C. Effective
• D. Advanced

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Outdated.' Obsolete refers to something that is outdated or no longer in use. 'Innovative' (choice A) means introducing new ideas or methods; 'Effective' (choice C) means successful in producing a desired result; 'Advanced' (choice D) means far on or ahead in development or progress. Therefore, 'Outdated' is the most appropriate antonym for 'Obsolete.'

5. What does it mean when an apartment is advertised as being furnished?

• A. It is equipped with articles of furniture
• B. It has a high level of decor
• C. It includes utilities like water and electricity
• D. It is fully renovated

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'It is equipped with articles of furniture,' correctly defines a furnished apartment. When an apartment is advertised as furnished, it means that it comes with essential furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and other necessary items. Choice B is incorrect because being furnished does not necessarily relate to the decor level of the apartment. Choice C is incorrect as utilities like water and electricity are not typically included in the term 'furnished.' Choice D is also incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment is fully renovated, which refers to structural improvements rather than furniture.
