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 does Exposure mean?

• A. Protection from external elements
• B. Contact
• C. Absorption
• D. Isolation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Exposure refers to coming into contact with external elements. Choice A is incorrect as exposure does not imply protection but rather contact. Choice C, absorption, refers to the process of soaking up or taking in something. Choice D, isolation, means being separated or kept apart from others, which is not synonymous with exposure.

3. What is the correct subjunctive verb to complete the sentence? 'If I ___ you, I'd leave now.'

• A. Were
• B. Is
• C. Be
• D. Was

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Were.' In the subjunctive mood, we use 'were' for hypothetical or unreal situations. The sentence should read, 'If I were you, I'd leave now.' Choice B ('Is') is incorrect because it is not in the subjunctive form. Choice C ('Be') is incorrect as it is the base form and not the correct form for the subjunctive mood. Choice D ('Was') is incorrect as it is the past tense form and not used in the subjunctive mood.

4. Another word for the collarbone might be the ___________.

• A. cloaca
• B. cannula
• C. clavicle
• D. clavier

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Another word for the collarbone is the clavicle. The term 'clavicle' is commonly used in anatomy to refer to this bone that connects the arm to the rest of the body's skeleton. Choice A, 'cloaca,' is incorrect as it refers to a bodily cavity that serves as the opening for the intestinal, genital, and urinary tracts in many vertebrates. Choice B, 'cannula,' is incorrect as it refers to a tube inserted into a vein or body cavity to administer medication or drain fluid. Choice D, 'clavier,' is incorrect as it refers to a keyboard musical instrument.

5. What does Endogenous mean?

• A. Produced outside the body
• B. Produced within the body
• C. Taken from an external source
• D. Linked to environmental factors

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Produced within the body.' Endogenous refers to substances or processes that originate or are produced within an organism or system. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 'Produced outside the body,' is the opposite of endogenous. Choice C, 'Taken from an external source,' describes exogenous rather than endogenous. Choice D, 'Linked to environmental factors,' is not a direct definition of endogenous.
