1. 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.'

2. Select the meaning of the word 'holistic' in the sentence: 'Dr. Grant ignored Mary's particular symptoms, instead administering a holistic treatment.'

• A. insensitive
• B. ignorant
• C. specialized
• D. concerned with the whole

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this context, 'holistic' means concerned with the whole person, considering physical, mental, and social factors, rather than just addressing specific symptoms. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'holistic' does not mean insensitive, ignorant, or specialized in this context.

3. Where is the posterior part of the body located?

• A. Topmost
• B. Lowermost
• C. Front
• D. Back

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term 'posterior' refers to the back of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Back.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Topmost' and 'Lowermost' do not specifically refer to the back of the body, and 'Front' is the opposite of 'Back.'

4. What does 'Cease' mean?

• A. Start
• B. Come to an end
• C. Pause
• D. Skip

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Come to an end.' Cease means to stop or come to an end. Choice A, 'Start,' is the opposite of what Cease means. Choice C, 'Pause,' implies a temporary stop, which is not the same as coming to an end. Choice D, 'Skip,' means to omit or bypass, which is different from the meaning of Cease.

5. 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.
