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 'Contract' mean?

• A. To expand
• B. To draw together
• C. To elongate
• D. To dissolve

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To draw together.' Contract means to reduce in size or draw together. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest actions opposite to what contracting means. A: 'To expand,' C: 'To elongate,' and D: 'To dissolve' all indicate actions that involve increasing in size or breaking apart, which are the opposite of what contracting means.

3. A restricted diet is ___________.

• A. low in fat
• B. vegetarian
• C. banned
• D. limited

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A restricted diet is limited in some way, such as reducing the intake of certain foods, food groups, or nutrients. It may involve limitations on quantity, frequency, or types of foods consumed. This restriction could be related to health factors, allergies, sensitivities, ethical reasons, or personal preferences. Choice A, 'low in fat,' is too specific and does not encompass the broad concept of restriction in a diet. Choice B, 'vegetarian,' refers to a specific dietary pattern but does not necessarily indicate restriction. Choice C, 'banned,' is incorrect as it implies a complete prohibition rather than limitation, which is characteristic of a restricted diet.

4. What does Cast mean?

• A. A tool used for breaking bones
• B. Hard protective device applied to protect a broken bone
• C. A soft bandage
• D. An instrument used in surgery

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. A cast is a hard protective device applied to protect a broken bone. Choice A is incorrect as a cast is not a tool used for breaking bones, but rather for supporting and protecting them. Choice C is incorrect as a cast is not a soft bandage but a rigid structure. Choice D is incorrect as a cast is not an instrument used in surgery, but a medical device used for bone support.

5. What is another word for putrefy?

• A. Discharge
• B. Harden
• C. Panic
• D. Rot

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Another word for putrefy is 'rot.' Putrefy means to decay or decompose, especially through the action of bacteria. Similarly, rot refers to the process of decaying or decomposing, making it a synonymous term in this context. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Discharge' means to release or let out, 'harden' means to make or become hard, and 'panic' refers to sudden uncontrollable fear or anxiety, none of which are synonymous with putrefy.
