1. What is the meaning of Absorption?

• A. Movement of nutrients from the digestive tube into the bloodstream
• B. Secretion of enzymes into the stomach
• C. Absorption of water from the intestines
• D. Excretion of waste from the body

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Movement of nutrients from the digestive tube into the bloodstream.' Absorption specifically refers to the process where nutrients are taken up by the body from the digestive tract into the bloodstream for utilization. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Choice B refers to the secretion of enzymes into the stomach, choice C refers to the absorption of water from the intestines, and choice D refers to the excretion of waste from the body, which are not the definitions of absorption.

2. Which verb form correctly completes the sentence? 'The shopper was angry when he realized he could have ___ it cheaper at the other store.'

• A. Get
• B. Could have got
• C. Could have gotten
• D. Might have get

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C) Could have gotten.' In this sentence, the verb form 'gotten' is the correct past participle form of 'get,' indicating a missed opportunity in the past. Choice A is incorrect because 'get' is the base form of the verb, not the past participle. Choice B is incorrect as 'got' is the past tense, not the past participle. Choice D is incorrect because 'get' is the base form, and 'might have get' is not the correct structure for this sentence.

3. Another word for UNDER OBSERVATION is?

• A. Cognition
• B. Isolation
• C. Surveillance
• D. Assessment

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Another word for UNDER OBSERVATION is surveillance. Surveillance refers to the close observation of a person, group, or place, especially in a secret or discreet manner. It involves monitoring and watching over someone or something closely for a specific purpose. Therefore, the word 'surveillance' is the most suitable synonym for under observation in this context. Choice A, 'Cognition,' refers to the mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thoughts, experience, and the senses; it is not synonymous with under observation. Choice B, 'Isolation,' means the process or fact of isolating or being isolated, which does not convey the idea of close monitoring. Choice D, 'Assessment,' involves evaluating or judging the nature, ability, or quality of something, which is different from the act of observing closely.

4. Identify the incomplete sentence.

• A. While they were sleeping.
• B. The dog slept.
• C. The sun rises in the east.
• D. They went home.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'While they were sleeping.' This is an incomplete sentence as it lacks a main clause. A complete sentence should have both a subject and a predicate to express a complete thought. In this case, the subordinating conjunction 'while' introduces a dependent clause that needs to be connected to an independent clause to form a complete sentence. Choices B, C, and D are complete sentences as they each contain a subject and a predicate, expressing a complete thought.

5. What is the meaning of 'belligerent'?

• A. retired
• B. sardonic
• C. pugnacious
• D. acclimated

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'pugnacious.' 'Belligerent' means aggressive or combative, which aligns with the definition of 'pugnacious.' Choice A, 'retired,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the aggressive or combative nature of 'belligerent.' Choice B, 'sardonic,' means grimly mocking or cynical, which is not synonymous with 'belligerent.' Choice D, 'acclimated,' means to become accustomed to a new climate or environment, which is unrelated to the meaning of 'belligerent.'
