1. What is the meaning of Gender?

• A. A medical condition
• B. Sex of an individual
• C. Emotional state
• D. A psychological term

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gender refers to the biological and social characteristics that define male and female identities. It is not a medical condition, emotional state, or psychological term. The term 'gender' specifically relates to the sex of an individual, distinguishing between traits associated with being male or female. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

2. An apartment is advertised as being furnished. What does the sentence mean?

• A. It is equipped with articles
• B. It has just been repainted
• C. The first month’s rent must be paid in advance
• D. The utility bills are included in the rental cost

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'It is equipped with articles.' In real estate terms, when an apartment is advertised as 'furnished', it means that the apartment comes equipped with furniture and other necessary items. This choice directly reflects the meaning of a furnished apartment. The other choices are incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment has just been repainted (B), requires the first month’s rent to be paid in advance (C), or includes utility bills in the rental cost (D).

3. The development of the disease was 'insidious'. What does insidious mean in this context?

• A. Gradual
• B. Momentous
• C. Sudden
• D. Innocuous

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'insidious' means progressing slowly but having harmful effects. This matches the meaning of 'gradual,' making it the correct answer. 'Momentous' means significant or important, which is not the meaning conveyed by 'insidious.' 'Sudden' means abrupt or unexpected, opposite to the slow progression indicated by 'insidious.' 'Innocuous' means harmless, which is the opposite of the harmful effects associated with an insidious disease.

4. A UTI is likely to involve the ___________.

• A. bones
• B. throat
• C. stomach
• D. bladder

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) is likely to involve the bladder. A urinary tract infection is an infection in any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The most common type of UTI is a bladder infection where bacteria enter the bladder and cause inflammation and infection. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because a UTI specifically affects the urinary tract system and not the bones, throat, or stomach.

5. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. The patient will need to undergo additional testing.

• A. Fail
• B. Offer
• C. Experience
• D. Succumb

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, the word 'undergo' means to experience or go through a process. When someone undergoes something, it implies they are subjected to it or experiencing it. Therefore, in the sentence provided, 'experience' is the correct meaning. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the idea of going through a process or experiencing something.
