1. Which sentence uses the word 'present' as an adjective?

• A. She gave a present to her friend
• B. She was present at the meeting
• C. She made a present for her friend
• D. The teacher presented the award

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The sentence 'She was present at the meeting' uses 'present' as an adjective. In this context, 'present' describes her state of being at the meeting. The other choices use 'present' as a verb (to give), a noun (a gift), and a verb (to show), making them incorrect in the context of looking for the adjective use of 'present'.

2. What does 'Obsolete' mean?

• A. Innovative
• B. Outdated
• C. Effective
• D. Advanced

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Outdated.' Obsolete refers to something that is outdated or no longer in use. 'Innovative' (choice A) means introducing new ideas or methods; 'Effective' (choice C) means successful in producing a desired result; 'Advanced' (choice D) means far on or ahead in development or progress. Therefore, 'Outdated' is the most appropriate antonym for 'Obsolete.'

3. Which muscle in the shoulder is the deltoid?

• A. dendrite
• B. delphic
• C. deltoid
• D. dentate

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The deltoid muscle is located in the shoulder area. It is a rounded, triangular muscle that covers the shoulder joint and is responsible for lifting the arm and providing shoulder stability. The other options provided, dendrite, delphic, and dentate, are not muscles in the shoulder region.

4. What is the meaning of 'repugnant'?

• A. destructive
• B. selective
• C. collective
• D. offensive

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'offensive.' Repugnant means offensive or disgusting. In this context, 'destructive,' 'selective,' and 'collective' do not accurately capture the meaning of 'repugnant,' making them incorrect choices. 'Offensive' is the most appropriate term to describe something that is repugnant.

5. What is a diagnostic test?

• A. One that locates a cure
• B. One that looks for a cause
• C. One that examines the skin
• D. One that is performed on doctors

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A diagnostic test is a medical test or procedure performed to identify the cause of a health problem, disease, or condition. It helps healthcare providers make accurate diagnoses and determine appropriate treatments for patients. Choice A is incorrect because a diagnostic test does not locate a cure but rather aims to identify the cause of a health issue. Choice C is incorrect as a diagnostic test is not specifically for examining the skin but can involve various types of tests on different parts of the body. Choice D is incorrect as a diagnostic test is not performed on doctors but on patients to diagnose their health conditions.
