1. The physician started to perform the operation, but the patient was not yet completely _____ anesthesia.

• A. under
• B. within
• C. with
• D. over

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'under' as it is commonly used to describe the state of being affected by anesthesia. The patient is 'under' anesthesia, not 'within,' 'with,' or 'over' it. 'Within' typically refers to being inside something, 'with' indicates being accompanied by something, and 'over' suggests being above or on top of something. Therefore, in the context of the sentence, 'under' is the most appropriate choice.

2. What does Distal mean?

• A. Closer to the point of attachment
• B. Further away from the point of attachment
• C. In the middle of the body
• D. On the surface of the skin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Distal means further away from the point of attachment. This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe the location of a body part relative to the point of attachment or the trunk. Choice A is incorrect because it describes the term Proximal, which means closer to the point of attachment. Choice C is incorrect as it describes the term Medial, which means toward the middle of the body. Choice D is incorrect as it describes the term Superficial, which means on or near the surface.

3. Which word is used incorrectly? 'I did the work before he asked me to.'

• A. did
• B. work
• C. asked
• D. before

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'did' is correctly used in the sentence to form the past tense of the verb 'do.' In this context, 'did' is the appropriate term. The other words in the sentence, 'work,' 'asked,' and 'before,' are all used correctly and do not represent an incorrect word choice. Therefore, 'did' is the only word that is not used incorrectly in the given sentence.

4. Which term refers to someone who has come to settle in the United States?

• A. Immigrate
• B. Migrate
• C. Immigrant
• D. Emigrant

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Immigrant.' An immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country, such as the United States. Choice A, 'Immigrate,' refers to the action of entering a foreign country to live there. Choice B, 'Migrate,' means to move from one place to another. Choice D, 'Emigrant,' is someone who leaves their own country to settle permanently in another.

5. The abbreviation PDR refers to a ___________.

• A. drug
• B. procedure
• C. book
• D. muscle group

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The abbreviation PDR stands for Physician's Desk Reference, which is a widely used book containing information about prescription drugs, including their uses, side effects, and dosages. Therefore, the abbreviation PDR is associated with drugs. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because PDR specifically relates to drugs and not procedures, books, or muscle groups.
