1. To aspirate fluid, you might use a ___________.

• A. syringe
• B. beaker
• C. test tube
• D. flange

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To aspirate fluid, you would typically use a syringe. A syringe is a device consisting of a tube and a plunger, which allows you to draw fluids such as blood or medication into the tube by pulling back on the plunger. This action is called aspiration, and the syringe is a common tool for this purpose in various medical procedures. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not typically used for aspiration procedures. A beaker is a glass container used for holding liquids, a test tube is used for holding or mixing small quantities of substances, and a flange is a projecting rim or edge used for strength or for attaching to another object.

2. A body part that has atrophied has ______.

• A. Enlarged
• B. Withered
• C. Swollen
• D. Damaged

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Withered.' Atrophied means that a body part has wasted away or decreased in size. 'Enlarged' (Choice A) means to make or become larger, which is the opposite of atrophied. 'Swollen' (Choice C) means to become larger or rounder in size, usually due to fluid retention or inflammation, which is not the same as atrophied. 'Damaged' (Choice D) means harmed or injured, but it does not specifically refer to the wasting away or shrinking of a body part.

3. Select the meaning of the word 'spurious' in the sentence: 'The researcher’s spurious argument confused even the experts.'

• A. Bogus
• B. Obscure
• C. Baffling
• D. Outrageous

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'spurious' in this sentence means something that is false or not genuine. In this context, the researcher's argument was misleading or deceitful, confusing even the experts. 'Bogus' means not genuine or false, which aligns closely with the intended meaning of 'spurious.' The other choices, 'obscure,' 'baffling,' and 'outrageous,' do not capture the essence of being false or deceitful, making them incorrect in this context.

4. What does Redundancy mean?

• A. Deficiency
• B. Surplus
• C. Delicate
• D. Abundance

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Redundancy means having more than is needed, making 'Surplus' the correct choice. The term does not relate to 'Deficiency' (lack), 'Delicate' (fragile), or 'Abundance' (plenty). In the context of this question, Redundancy refers to an excess or surplus of something.

5. Place the four words in alphabetical order.

• A. Assemble, assembled, assembling, assembly
• B. Assembly, assemble, assembled, assembling
• C. Assemble, assembly, assembling, assembled
• D. Assemble, assembly, assembled, assembling

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In alphabetical order, 'Assemble, assembly, assembling, assembled' is correct. The alphabetical order is determined by the first letter of each word. The correct sequence starts with 'Assemble,' followed by 'assembly,' then 'assembling,' and finally 'assembled.' Choice A, B, and D do not follow the correct alphabetical order as the words are not arranged alphabetically.
