1. What does intact mean?

• A. Damaged
• B. In place, unharmed
• C. Destroyed
• D. Incomplete

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'In place, unharmed.' 'Intact' refers to something that is whole, undamaged, or unharmed. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe states opposite to what intact means. 'Damaged,' 'Destroyed,' and 'Incomplete' all signify a lack of wholeness or harm, which is contrary to the meaning of intact.

2. What is the meaning of perused?

• A. Passed judgment on
• B. Engaged in
• C. Read thoroughly
• D. Took notes about

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Read thoroughly.' The word 'perused' means to read or examine carefully or in detail. It does not imply passing judgment, engaging in, or taking notes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'perused' specifically refers to reading thoroughly, not making judgments, participating in, or taking notes.

3. Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She has completed the project
• B. She has completed the project
• C. She has been completed the project
• D. She has completed the project

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She has completed the project.' The sentence uses the present perfect tense with 'has completed,' which is the correct form of the verb. Choice A is incorrect due to the subject-verb agreement error ('She' requires 'has' instead of 'have'). Choice C is incorrect as it changes the meaning by using the passive voice 'has been completed' instead of the active voice. Choice D is incorrect as 'complete' should be 'completed' to match the present perfect tense.

4. The man's heart attack scared him badly and he decided to have a regular check-up.

• A. severely
• B. badly
• C. intensely
• D. profoundly

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'badly' is the appropriate adverb to describe the intensity of the fear caused by the heart attack. 'Severely' and 'intensely' do not convey the same meaning in this sentence. 'Profoundly' refers more to depth or seriousness of an emotion, which doesn't fit the context of fear caused by a heart attack.

5. A patient who is lethargic may seem _______

• A. Energetic
• B. Exhausted
• C. Restless
• D. Hyperactive

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Exhausted.' Lethargic describes a state of feeling sluggish or lacking energy, which aligns with being exhausted. Choice A, 'Energetic,' is the opposite of lethargic. Choice C, 'Restless,' implies a different state of agitation than lethargy. Choice D, 'Hyperactive,' describes excessive activity, which contrasts with the lethargic state.
