1. The US __________ most of its silicone chips from Japan and China to stay competitive in the tech market.

• A. Deports
• B. Exports
• C. Reports
• D. Imports

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The US imports most of its silicone chips from Japan and China, indicating that the silicone chips are being brought into the US from these countries. 'Imports' refers to the act of bringing goods or services into one country from another, which accurately describes the scenario described in the question. The other choices are incorrect: 'Deports' means expelling individuals from a country, 'Exports' mean sending goods to another country, and 'Reports' mean providing information or data.

2. What does Depth mean?

• A. The thickness of an object
• B. Downward measurement from a surface
• C. The length of a surface
• D. The area between two points

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Depth refers to the distance or downward measurement from a surface. It is not the thickness of an object (Choice A), as thickness is the measure of how thick or thin an object is, not necessarily related to depth. Additionally, it is not the length of a surface (Choice C) because length typically refers to the longest dimension of an object rather than its depth. Finally, it is not the area between two points (Choice D) because area is a measure of the space within a boundary defined by points, while depth specifically refers to the vertical distance below a surface.

3. 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.

4. A remedy may cure certain ailments. Another word for this might be ___________.

• A. inoculation
• B. indicator
• C. nostrum
• D. serum

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A "nostrum" is a term used to describe a questionable or untested remedy or medication that claims to cure ailments. In this context, as a remedy is suggested to cure certain ailments, "nostrum" fits best in providing an alternative word that aligns with the situation. The other choices are not synonyms for a remedy that cures ailments. 'Inoculation' refers to the introduction of a vaccine, 'indicator' is something that provides information or signals, and 'serum' is a component of blood or a medication, none of which directly align with the concept of a remedy curing ailments.

5. A child with a stuffy nose might find it hard to ____.

• A. Breathe
• B. Breathing
• C. Breath
• D. Breadth

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. A child with a stuffy nose might find it hard to breathe. 'Breathe' is the correct verb form in this sentence. 'Breathing' is the present participle form and could also work, but in the context of the sentence, 'breathe' is more suitable. 'Breath' is a noun referring to a single inhalation or exhalation of air, not the correct form in this context. 'Breadth' is a noun referring to the extent or measure of something from side to side, which is completely unrelated to the ability to breathe with a stuffy nose.
