1. What does 'Inferior' mean?

• A. Above
• B. Below
• C. On the side
• D. In the middle

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Below.' Inferior means being in a lower position or rank compared to something else. Choice A ('Above') is incorrect as it represents the opposite of inferior. Choice C ('On the side') and Choice D ('In the middle') are also incorrect as they do not reflect the meaning of inferior, which conveys a sense of being lower in position or rank.

2. What does Lateral mean?

• A. Near the midline
• B. Away from the midline
• C. At the top of the body
• D. On the side

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'On the side.' Lateral means situated on the side or away from the midline. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because lateral specifically refers to a position that is situated away from the midline, not near it, at the top of the body, or on the side.

3. Which sentence correctly uses a colon?

• A. She had one goal: to win the race.
• B. He needs milk, eggs, and bread.
• C. The meeting is at 3 PM.
• D. She bought milk, eggs, bread.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'She had one goal: to win the race.' This sentence uses a colon to introduce the purpose or explanation that follows. It is a grammatically correct use of a colon. Choice B is incorrect as the colon is not needed after 'needs'; a list of items follows, which does not require a colon. Choice C is a simple statement of time and does not require a colon. Choice D is also incorrect since a colon is not suitable after 'bought'; the items bought are listed without the need for a colon.

4. What is the meaning of verified?

• A. Belittled
• B. Confirmed
• C. Anecdotal
• D. Implicit

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Verified means confirmed or proven to be true. When something is verified, it has been established as factual or accurate through thorough examination or evidence. It is the opposite of belittled, anecdotal, or implicit, as those terms do not convey the sense of confirmation or validation that verified does.

5. What does 'Occluded' mean?

• A. Open
• B. Closed or obstructed
• C. Partially obstructed
• D. Expanded

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Occluded' means something is closed or obstructed, not open as in choice A. It is more than just partially obstructed as in choice C. It does not mean expanded as in choice D. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 'Closed or obstructed.'
