1. What does incorrigible mean?

• A. Curable
• B. Incurable
• C. Chronic
• D. Temporary

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Incurable.' Incorrigible means something or someone that cannot be corrected or cured. It signifies a persistent behavior or trait that is unlikely to change. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because incorrigible specifically denotes something that is unable to be corrected, not curable, chronic, or temporary.

2. What does 'Fatal' mean?

• A. Resulting in injury
• B. Resulting in death
• C. Dangerous
• D. Treatable

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Resulting in death.' The term 'Fatal' specifically means resulting in death. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Fatal' does not refer to resulting in injury, being dangerous, or being treatable.

3. Which phrase is NOT used correctly in the sentence?

• A. Do to
• B. Stay was
• C. Client's
• D. Superinfection

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. "Do to" should be corrected to "due to" in this context. The sentence should read, "The client's hospital stay was prolonged, due to a superinfection." The phrase "due to" is the appropriate choice to indicate the cause of the prolonged hospital stay. Choices B, C, and D are all used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.

4. What does Consistency refer to?

• A. Color of a fluid
• B. Degree of viscosity, how thick or thin a fluid is
• C. Taste of a fluid
• D. Smell of a fluid

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Consistency refers to the degree of viscosity of a fluid, indicating how thick or thin it is. Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow, and it determines its consistency. Choices A, color, C, taste, and D, smell, are not related to consistency. Color, taste, and smell are sensory attributes that do not define the physical property of consistency in fluids.

5. The mail carrier's job is to put the _____ in every mailbox on the block.

• A. letter
• B. envelope
• C. package
• D. documents

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'envelope.' The mail carrier typically delivers envelopes containing mail to every mailbox on the block. Envelopes are commonly used to protect and contain letters, making them the most suitable choice in this context. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because while the mail carrier may deliver letters, packages, or documents, the most common item placed in mailboxes is an envelope containing mail.
