1. What does Distended mean?

• A. Shrunken
• B. Enlarged or expanded from pressure
• C. Collapsed
• D. Constricted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Distended means enlarged or expanded from pressure. The term 'shrunken' (Choice A) means reduced in size, 'collapsed' (Choice C) means fallen in or disintegrated, and 'constricted' (Choice D) means narrowed or tightened. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

2. My mother and _____ went shopping for clothes yesterday.

• A. me
• B. I
• C. myself
• D. mine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'I'. In this sentence, 'I' is the subject pronoun that should be used to complete the sentence correctly. 'Me' is an object pronoun, 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun, and 'mine' is a possessive pronoun, none of which are suitable in this context.

3. Another word for UNDER OBSERVATION is?

• A. Cognition
• B. Isolation
• C. Surveillance
• D. Assessment

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Another word for UNDER OBSERVATION is surveillance. Surveillance refers to the close observation of a person, group, or place, especially in a secret or discreet manner. It involves monitoring and watching over someone or something closely for a specific purpose. Therefore, the word 'surveillance' is the most suitable synonym for under observation in this context. Choice A, 'Cognition,' refers to the mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thoughts, experience, and the senses; it is not synonymous with under observation. Choice B, 'Isolation,' means the process or fact of isolating or being isolated, which does not convey the idea of close monitoring. Choice D, 'Assessment,' involves evaluating or judging the nature, ability, or quality of something, which is different from the act of observing closely.

4. What does 'Aggregate' mean?

• A. A part of the whole
• B. A sum total of many things
• C. A small fraction
• D. A gradual reduction

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'A sum total of many things.' Aggregate refers to the total or sum of different elements or components. Choice A, 'A part of the whole,' is incorrect as aggregate does not refer to just a part but the whole combined. Choice C, 'A small fraction,' is incorrect as aggregate denotes a larger amount, not a small fraction. Choice D, 'A gradual reduction,' is incorrect as aggregate does not imply reduction but rather accumulation or combination.

5. Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? "You should always do the write thing."

• A. Do
• B. Always
• C. Write
• D. Should

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Write" is incorrect in this context. It should be "right," referring to the correct or moral action.
