1. What is the meaning of plastic?

• A. Mechanical
• B. Durable
• C. Authentic
• D. Flexible

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Flexible. Plastic is a material that can be easily molded or shaped, known for its flexibility. It can bend and stretch without breaking, making it versatile and durable. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because plastic is not primarily associated with being mechanical, authentic, or durable, but rather with its ability to be shaped and its flexibility.

2. John Kennedy was a senator before he _____ President in 1960.

• A. was elected
• B. became
• C. was made
• D. become

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'was elected.' This choice is the most appropriate as it correctly indicates the action of being chosen through a voting process in the past. In this context, 'was elected' is the right verb form to show that John Kennedy became President in 1960 after winning an election. The other choices are incorrect: 'became' is a simple past verb form that doesn't convey the electoral process, 'was made' implies a passive action rather than an active election, and 'become' is not the correct past tense form needed in this sentence.

3. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. He made a posthumous donation to the clinic.

• A. Generous
• B. Immense
• C. Postmortem
• D. Time-honored

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'posthumous' in this sentence means occurring or coming into effect after the person's death. It is related to the word 'postmortem,' which also refers to events or actions happening after death. Given the context of the sentence, the most suitable meaning is 'postmortem.' Choice A, 'generous,' does not accurately reflect the meaning of 'posthumous' in the sentence. Choice B, 'immense,' is unrelated to the concept of something happening after a person's death. Choice D, 'time-honored,' is also not synonymous with 'posthumous' and does not fit the context of the sentence.

4. A symptom that is exacerbated is ____?

• A. Improving
• B. Made worse
• C. Stayed the same
• D. Ameliorated

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B) Made worse.' Exacerbated means to make a condition more severe or intense. Therefore, if a symptom is exacerbated, it is getting worse, not improving (choice A), staying the same (choice C), or ameliorated (choice D), which means to improve or make better.

5. To which part of the human body does anterior refer?

• A. Back
• B. Front
• C. Side
• D. Top

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'anterior' in anatomy refers to the front part of the body. It is used to describe the position of structures relative to the front of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Front' (choice B). Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'anterior' specifically pertains to the front, not the back, side, or top of the body.
