1. 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.

2. If illegal operators are posing as licensed pharmacists, what are they doing?

• A. Modeling
• B. Inquiring
• C. Positioning
• D. Pretending

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If illegal operators are posing as licensed pharmacists, they are pretending to be licensed pharmacists when they are not. This deceptive behavior is misleading and potentially dangerous for consumers seeking legitimate medical advice and products. Choice A, modeling, implies imitating behavior or appearance, which is not the case here. Choice B, inquiring, suggests seeking information or asking questions, which is not the correct behavior in this context. Choice C, positioning, refers to arranging or placing things in a particular way, which is not relevant to the situation described in the question.

3. There was no _____ for the way she treated her boyfriend.

• A. Alibi
• B. Rational
• C. Reasonable
• D. Justification

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Justification.' Justification means showing that an action is reasonable or right. In this context, it implies that there was no valid reason or excuse for the way she treated her boyfriend. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. An 'alibi' is an excuse to explain one's whereabouts during a crime, not applicable here. 'Rational' means based on reason or logic, which does not fit the context of the sentence. 'Reasonable' means fair and sensible, but the sentence suggests a lack of valid explanation rather than fairness or sensibility.

4. A UTI is likely to involve the ___________.

• A. bones
• B. throat
• C. stomach
• D. bladder

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) is likely to involve the bladder. A urinary tract infection is an infection in any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The most common type of UTI is a bladder infection where bacteria enter the bladder and cause inflammation and infection. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because a UTI specifically affects the urinary tract system and not the bones, throat, or stomach.

5. What does 'abrupt' mean?

• A. Gradual
• B. Sudden
• C. Delayed
• D. Relaxed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Sudden.' Abrupt means something that occurs suddenly, without warning or preparation. It is the opposite of gradual, delayed, or relaxed, which imply a slower or more gentle pace of change or action.
