1. Which of the following sentences uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She was going to the store
• B. She was going to the store
• C. She has gone to the store
• D. She gone to the store

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She was going to the store.' This sentence uses the correct form of the past continuous tense, which is appropriate for describing an action in progress in the past. Choice A is the only option that uses the correct verb form. Choice C uses the present perfect tense, which is not suitable for describing a past action in progress. Choice D is incorrect as it lacks the auxiliary verb 'has' in the sentence structure.

2. A truculent patient is ______

• A. Friendly
• B. Argumentative
• C. Cooperative
• D. Passive

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A truculent patient is characterized by being argumentative or hostile. This type of patient tends to be confrontational and uncooperative, often displaying aggressive behavior. Choice A, 'Friendly,' is incorrect as truculent patients are not known for their friendliness. Choice C, 'Cooperative,' is also incorrect as truculent patients are the opposite of cooperative. Choice D, 'Passive,' is incorrect because truculent patients are not passive but rather assertive and combative.

3. An inability to be lucid in the early morning means the person is unable to behave in which way?

• A. Coherent
• B. Speculative
• C. Furtive
• D. Animated

Correct answer: A

Rationale: An inability to be lucid in the early morning means the person is unable to behave in a coherent way. Lucidity refers to clarity of thought and coherence in one's behavior or speech. If someone is not lucid, they may be confused, disoriented, or unable to express themselves clearly. Therefore, the correct choice is A. Coherent. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because being unable to be lucid does not necessarily mean the person is behaving in a speculative, furtive, or animated way.

4. What does oral mean?

• A. Through the skin
• B. Given through or affecting the mouth
• C. Injected
• D. Absorbed through digestion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Given through or affecting the mouth.' Oral medications are those that are taken by mouth. Choice A is incorrect as 'Through the skin' refers to something being absorbed through the skin, not through the mouth. Choice C, 'Injected,' is incorrect as oral administration does not involve injection but rather ingestion. Choice D, 'Absorbed through digestion,' is partially correct in that oral medications are indeed absorbed through the digestive system, but the term 'oral' specifically refers to the mouth in this context.

5. If the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then they could be heard __________.

• A. Thorough
• B. Thought
• C. Through
• D. Throughout

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'throughout' means in every part of a place or thing. In this context, if the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then it implies that the sound could be heard throughout the community, making 'Throughout' the most appropriate answer. Choice A 'Thorough' means complete or absolute, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Choice B 'Thought' is a past tense form of the verb 'think,' which is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. Choice C 'Through' is a preposition and does not convey the intended meaning of being heard in every part of the community.
