1. What does 'Obsolete' mean?

• A. Innovative
• B. Outdated
• C. Effective
• D. Advanced

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Outdated.' Obsolete refers to something that is outdated or no longer in use. 'Innovative' (choice A) means introducing new ideas or methods; 'Effective' (choice C) means successful in producing a desired result; 'Advanced' (choice D) means far on or ahead in development or progress. Therefore, 'Outdated' is the most appropriate antonym for 'Obsolete.'

2. When patients are being counseled, what is happening?

• A. They are being discharged
• B. They are being advised
• C. They are being neglected
• D. They are being comforted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When patients are being counseled, they are being advised or guided. Counseling involves providing support, guidance, and advice to help patients cope with their challenges. Choice A is incorrect because counseling is not about discharging patients. Choice C is incorrect because counseling is the opposite of neglect; it is actively providing support. Choice D is incorrect because while comfort may be a part of counseling, the primary focus is on providing guidance and advice to address issues, not just comfort.

3. The breastbone may be called the ___________.

• A. stelic
• B. steres
• C. sterol
• D. sternum

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The breastbone is called the sternum. It is a flat bone located in the center of the chest that connects the ribs together and protects the heart and lungs. The term 'stelic' (choice A), 'steres' (choice B), and 'sterol' (choice C) are not correct terminologies for the breastbone.

4. What is the meaning of Diameter?

• A. The width of a structure
• B. The distance across the center of an object
• C. The height of an object
• D. The radius of a circle

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Diameter is defined as the distance across the center of an object, typically a circle. Choice A is incorrect because width refers to the measurement of something from side to side, not necessarily through the center. Choice C is incorrect because height is a measurement from top to bottom, not across the center. Choice D is incorrect because the radius of a circle is the distance from the center to any point on the circle's circumference, not the distance across the center.

5. Of the many people whom she interviewed, she chose the one with the most _____.

• A. experience
• B. skills
• C. qualities
• D. knowledge

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'experience' is the most appropriate term because it refers to the practical knowledge and exposure someone has gained over time. When selecting a candidate from interviews, experience is often a crucial factor as it demonstrates the individual's capability to perform tasks effectively based on past scenarios encountered. 'Skills' (choice B) are specific abilities that can be learned or developed, 'qualities' (choice C) refer to personal characteristics, and 'knowledge' (choice D) is theoretical understanding, none of which directly reflect practical exposure gained over time.
