1. What does exogenous mean?

• A. Produced within the body
• B. Produced outside the body
• C. A byproduct
• D. Caused by bacteria

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Exogenous means produced outside the body. In this context, 'within the body' (Choice A), 'a byproduct' (Choice C), and 'caused by bacteria' (Choice D) do not accurately define exogenous. The correct definition of exogenous specifically refers to something originating or produced externally.

2. Select the word that means 'open.'

• A. inverted
• B. patent
• C. convent
• D. converted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Patent' is the correct answer as it means something that is open or unobstructed. Choices A, C, and D do not convey the meaning of 'open.' 'Inverted' means turned inside out or upside down, 'convent' refers to a religious community, and 'converted' means changed into a different form or function.

3. Which word is a synonym for ASSURED?

• A. Confirmed the truth of
• B. Sympathized with
• C. Denied the truth of
• D. Made known to

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Confirmed the truth of' because 'assured' means to make certain or confident. To confirm the truth of something is to provide certainty, which aligns with the meaning of 'assured.' Choice B, 'Sympathized with,' is incorrect as it means to express compassion or understanding, which is not synonymous with 'assured.' Choice C, 'Denied the truth of,' is incorrect as it means to reject or contradict the truth, which is the opposite of 'assured.' Choice D, 'Made known to,' is incorrect as it refers to revealing or informing, which is not synonymous with 'assured.'

4. Which sentence uses the VERB correctly?

• A. I saw you standing in line at the Tilt-A-Whirl at the country fair.
• B. I sang the national anthem before the country fair moto-cross race.
• C. I ran toward the country fair arena with Nibbles the Rabbit.
• D. I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.' 'Wore' is the correct past tense form of 'wear.' Choice A is incorrect as 'seen' should be 'saw,' which is the correct past tense of 'see.' Choice B is incorrect as 'sung' should be 'sang,' the correct past tense of 'sing.' Choice C is incorrect as 'ran' is the correct verb, but the question specifically asks for the correct use of a verb, not just any verb.

5. A stye is an infection of the ___________.

• A. eyelid
• B. eardrum
• C. nostril
• D. scalp

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A stye is an infection that occurs at the base of an eyelash or on the eyelid. It is typically caused by a bacterial infection, leading to redness, swelling, and sometimes discomfort in the affected area. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because a stye specifically refers to an infection of the eyelid area, not the eardrum, nostril, or scalp.
