1. What is another word for putrefy?

• A. Discharge
• B. Harden
• C. Panic
• D. Rot

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Another word for putrefy is 'rot.' Putrefy means to decay or decompose, especially through the action of bacteria. Similarly, rot refers to the process of decaying or decomposing, making it a synonymous term in this context. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Discharge' means to release or let out, 'harden' means to make or become hard, and 'panic' refers to sudden uncontrollable fear or anxiety, none of which are synonymous with putrefy.

2. What does 'Occluded' mean?

• A. Open
• B. Closed or obstructed
• C. Partially obstructed
• D. Expanded

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Occluded' means something is closed or obstructed, not open as in choice A. It is more than just partially obstructed as in choice C. It does not mean expanded as in choice D. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 'Closed or obstructed.'

3. 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.

4. Which word is spelled incorrectly? 'The physician recommended a low-sodium diet for the patient.'

• A. patient
• B. physician
• C. sodium
• D. recommended

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'patient.' The correct spelling should be 'patient.' 'Physician,' 'sodium,' and 'recommended' are all spelled correctly. 'Physician' refers to a medical doctor, 'sodium' is a chemical element, and 'recommended' is the past tense of the verb 'recommend.' Therefore, the misspelled word in the sentence is 'patient.'

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.
