1. What does the phrase 'to be on the same page' mean?

• A. To be physically close
• B. To agree or understand each other
• C. To be sharing the same goal
• D. To be facing the same direction

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To agree or understand each other.' The phrase 'to be on the same page' is an idiom that means to agree or understand each other. It implies being in sync or having a shared understanding with someone else. Choice A, 'To be physically close,' is incorrect as the phrase does not refer to physical proximity. Choice C, 'To be sharing the same goal,' is incorrect because while being on the same page may involve a shared goal, it primarily emphasizes agreement or mutual understanding. Choice D, 'To be facing the same direction,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of mutual agreement or understanding conveyed by the idiom.

2. By examining the parts of each word, determine which of the following words refers to 'a drug that removes feeling or sensation.'

• A. Hyperalgesia
• B. Subcranial
• C. Hypoglycemic
• D. Anaesthetic

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Anaesthetic'. 'Anaesthetic' refers to a drug that removes feeling or sensation. The prefix 'ana-' means without, and the root 'esthetic' relates to sensation or feeling. 'Hyperalgesia' refers to increased sensitivity to pain, 'Subcranial' does not relate to drugs or removing sensation, and 'Hypoglycemic' refers to low blood sugar levels, not a drug that removes feeling or sensation.

3. Which of the following defines the word 'omnipotent'?

• A. Well-worn
• B. Overreaching
• C. All-powerful
• D. Angry

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'All-powerful'. 'Omnipotent' means having unlimited power or authority. Choice A, 'Well-worn', does not relate to the definition of omnipotent. Choice B, 'Overreaching', implies extending beyond proper limits but does not capture the essence of unlimited power. Choice D, 'Angry', does not align with the meaning of omnipotent.

4. How do you spell the past participle of the verb 'lie' (to recline)?

• A. lied
• B. lain
• C. lay
• D. lying

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct spelling of the past participle of the verb 'lie' (to recline) is 'lain.' 'Lied' is the past tense form of the verb, not the past participle. 'Lay' is the simple past form. 'Lying' is the present participle form. Therefore, the correct answer is 'lain,' representing the past participle form of the verb 'lie.'

5. According to the prefix 'intra-,' which of the following is the best definition of the word 'intravenous'?

• A. Across veins
• B. Between veins
• C. Within veins
• D. Outside veins

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The prefix 'intra-' means 'within,' so 'intravenous' refers to something within veins. Choice A, 'Across veins,' is incorrect as 'intra-' does not indicate movement across but within. Choice B, 'Between veins,' is incorrect because 'intra-' does not imply a relationship between two separate veins. Choice D, 'Outside veins,' is incorrect as 'intra-' signifies something inside or within, not outside.
