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. Which part of the sentence contains a typographical error?

• A. To a
• B. Very strong
• C. Being
• D. Went from

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The phrase 'Went form' contains a typographical error. It should be 'went from' to indicate the change in condition correctly. Choice A 'To a,' choice B 'Very strong,' and choice C 'Being' are grammatically correct and do not contain any typographical errors in the given sentence.

3. The interns observed the CONTOURS of the patients' rash. What does Contours mean?

• A. Color
• B. Shape
• C. Size
• D. Texture

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Shape.' Contours refer to the outline or shape of something. In this context, the interns were observing the shape or outline of the patients' rash, not the color, size, or texture. Colors, sizes, and textures are not typically described as contours, making choices A, C, and D incorrect.

4. 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.

5. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. We will do more tests, as the data so far are inconclusive.

• A. Unsettled
• B. Convincing
• C. Unfavorable
• D. Bewildering

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'inconclusive' in the sentence describes the data as not definitive or final, indicating that further tests are needed to reach a solid conclusion. 'Inconclusive' means not leading to a firm decision or result, making 'unsettled' the most suitable synonym in this context. Choice B, 'convincing,' does not align with the meaning of 'inconclusive' as it suggests that the data is already clear and persuasive, which contradicts the context. Choice C, 'unfavorable,' is not the best fit as 'inconclusive' does not imply a negative or unfavorable outcome but rather indicates a lack of a definitive answer. Choice D, 'bewildering,' does not capture the meaning of 'inconclusive' in this context. Bewildering implies confusion or puzzlement, which is not the intended meaning in the sentence.
