1. What is the best description of the term Gravid?

• A. Thin
• B. Expecting a child
• C. Infected
• D. Healing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Gravid' means being pregnant or expecting a child. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A, 'Thin,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the term Gravid. Choice C, 'Infected,' is also incorrect as it is not a relevant description of the term. Choice D, 'Healing,' is unrelated to the term Gravid and is therefore incorrect.

2. What is another word for unruffled?

• A. Concerned
• B. Wholesome
• C. Tedious
• D. Composed

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Unruffled means calm and not agitated. The word 'composed' also means calm and collected, making it the correct synonym in this context. 'Concerned' (choice A) means worried or anxious, 'wholesome' (choice B) means promoting health and well-being, and 'tedious' (choice C) means boring or monotonous, making them all incorrect choices.

3. Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'Her teacher asked her what would she do after she graduated from nursing school.'

• A. She
• B. From
• C. Would
• D. Her

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The phrase 'what would she do' is incorrect because in English questions, the word order for modal verbs like 'would' should be 'she would do' instead of 'would she do'. The correct structure should be 'her teacher asked her what she would do after she graduated from nursing school.' Choices A, B, and D are used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.

4. What is the best description for the term euphoric?

• A. Disease-ridden
• B. High-spirited
• C. Pretentious
• D. Understated

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term euphoric is best described as high-spirited. Euphoria is a feeling of intense happiness and excitement, so high-spirited accurately conveys the meaning of euphoric. Choices A, C, and D do not capture the essence of euphoria. 'Disease-ridden' has a negative connotation and is unrelated to euphoric. 'Pretentious' means attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed, which is not synonymous with euphoric. 'Understated' means presented or expressed in a subtle and effective way, which is not the meaning of euphoric.

5. A condition that is chronic is ___________.

• A. harmless
• B. critical
• C. contagious
• D. recurring

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'recurring.' A chronic condition is one that is ongoing or long-lasting, implying that it persists or recurs over a prolonged period of time. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because chronicity does not necessarily imply harmlessness, criticality, or contagion; rather, it refers to the persistent or recurring nature of the condition.
