1. Which phrase should be moved to improve sentence clarity? 'He opened the door slowly, trying not to wake the baby.'

• A. 'Trying not to wake the baby,' he slowly opened the door
• B. 'He opened the door,' trying not to wake the baby
• C. 'He opened the door slowly,' trying not to wake the baby
• D. 'Slowly trying not to wake the baby,' he opened the door

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Placing 'trying not to wake the baby' at the beginning as in option A clarifies the purpose of the action right away, improving the sentence's flow.

2. Which sentence is correct?

• A. The physician wrote a prescription for the needed medicine
• B. The physician wrote a recommendation for the needed medicine
• C. The physician wrote a report for the needed medication
• D. The physician wrote a subscription for the needed medication

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A prescription is a written order from a physician or other licensed health practitioner for the preparation and administration of a medication. In this context, 'prescription' is the correct term for the document written by a physician to authorize the dispensing of medication. The other options (B, C, D) use incorrect terms such as 'recommendation,' 'report,' and 'subscription,' which do not accurately convey the action of a physician prescribing medication. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer as it accurately describes the action taken by the physician.

3. LABILE also means .

• A. Extremely changing
• B. Suicidal
• C. Rapidly changing
• D. With a high fever

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'labile' is used to describe something that is constantly changing or easily altered. Therefore, the best synonym for 'labile' is 'extremely changing.' Choice B, 'suicidal,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the meaning of 'labile.' Choice C, 'rapidly changing,' is close but not as precise as 'extremely changing.' Choice D, 'with a high fever,' is completely unrelated to the meaning of 'labile.'

4. Which term refers to someone who has come to settle in the United States?

• A. Immigrate
• B. Migrate
• C. Immigrant
• D. Emigrant

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Immigrant.' An immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country, such as the United States. Choice A, 'Immigrate,' refers to the action of entering a foreign country to live there. Choice B, 'Migrate,' means to move from one place to another. Choice D, 'Emigrant,' is someone who leaves their own country to settle permanently in another.

5. 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.
