1. What is another word for deferentially?

• A. Imperfectly
• B. Respectfully
• C. Competently
• D. Energetically

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'deferentially' means showing respect or submission to someone. Therefore, the closest synonym for 'deferentially' is 'respectfully' as it reflects the attitude and behavior of showing respect towards others. The other choices are incorrect: 'Imperfectly' means with flaws or errors, 'Competently' means having the necessary ability or skills, and 'Energetically' means with energy or enthusiasm, none of which capture the respectful connotation of 'deferentially.'

2. 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.

3. Choose the meaning of the word 'quarantine' in the following sentence: 'The patients are under quarantine until further notice.'

• A. A specialist's care
• B. Experimental drug therapy
• C. Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit
• D. Confinement away from the general population

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'quarantine' is used to convey the idea that the patients are isolated or separated from the general population. Quarantine is often implemented to prevent the spread of diseases or infections, and in this context, it implies confinement or isolation to ensure the safety of others. The other choices are incorrect because 'A' refers to specialized medical attention, 'B' refers to a specific medical treatment, and 'C' implies being held against one's will in a rehab facility, none of which capture the meaning of 'quarantine' as used in the sentence provided.

4. What does 'Ongoing' mean?

• A. Ended
• B. Continuous
• C. Delayed
• D. Occasional

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Continuous.' 'Ongoing' is used to describe something that is currently happening or continuing without interruption. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Ended,' 'Delayed,' and 'Occasional' do not reflect the continuous nature associated with 'Ongoing.'

5. In the United States, drivers drive cars on the _____ side of the road.

• A. Rite
• B. Left
• C. Off-side
• D. Right

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the United States, drivers drive on the 'right' side of the road. This is the standard practice in the country. Choice A 'Rite' is incorrect as it is a misspelling of 'Right.' Choice B 'Left' is incorrect as driving on the left side is common in countries like the UK, not the US. Choice C 'Off-side' is incorrect as it is not a standard term used to describe the side of the road where people drive in the US.
