1. What does the term 'counterfeit' mean?

• A. Real
• B. Fake
• C. Accurate
• D. Honest

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Fake.' Counterfeit refers to something that is not genuine or a copy made to deceive. Choice A, 'Real,' is incorrect because counterfeit items are not real. Choice C, 'Accurate,' is incorrect as counterfeit implies inaccuracy. Choice D, 'Honest,' is incorrect as counterfeit items are deceptive and not honest.

2. What word meaning 'once a year' fits best in the sentence: 'The _____ family reunion picnic was held at the Jones farm instead of the county park.'

• A. regular
• B. annual
• C. biennial
• D. holiday

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'annual' refers to something that happens once every year. 'Regular' could mean frequent but doesn't specify a yearly event. 'Biennial' refers to something occurring every two years, while 'holiday' relates to a special day of celebration, not necessarily an annual event.

3. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'My sister gave the chocolate bar to my friend and ___.'

• A. Myself
• B. Me
• C. Us
• D. We

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Me.' In this sentence, 'me' is the correct object pronoun to use after the preposition 'to.' 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun used when the subject and object of the sentence refer to the same person, which is not the case here. 'Us' is the object form of 'we,' which is incorrect in this context. Therefore, 'Me' is the most suitable choice.

4. The eye drops were intended to _____ the pupils for the eye exam.

• A. dilate
• B. constrict
• C. enlarge
• D. decrease

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'dilate.' Eye drops are used to dilate the pupils, meaning to widen or enlarge them, which is necessary for an eye exam to allow more light to enter the eye. 'Constrict' (choice B) means to make smaller, which is the opposite effect needed for an eye exam. 'Enlarge' (choice C) is similar in meaning to dilate but is not the correct term used in this context. 'Decrease' (choice D) means to make less or reduce, which is also the opposite of what is required for an eye exam.

5. Which term refers to the surgical removal of an organ's contents?

• A. Vivisection
• B. Amputation
• C. Evisceration
• D. Augmentation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Evisceration.' Evisceration specifically refers to the surgical removal of an organ's contents, for example, the removal of abdominal contents during certain surgical procedures. Vivisection (A) involves performing experiments on live animals, amputation (B) is the removal of a limb, and augmentation (D) is the process of increasing the size, value, or quality of something. Therefore, in the context of surgical procedures, evisceration best fits the description of removing an organ's contents.
