1. Which word describes a person's music collection who listens to a mixture of genres from punk rock to classical?

• A. Theoretical
• B. Relevant
• C. Mélange
• D. Cacophony

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'mélange' refers to a mixture or medley of different elements, which perfectly fits the description of someone who listens to various music genres. It implies diversity in their collection, covering a broad range of styles from punk rock to classical music. Choice A, 'Theoretical,' does not relate to music collections and is more aligned with concepts and hypotheses. Choice B, 'Relevant,' does not capture the idea of a varied music collection. Choice D, 'Cacophony,' refers to a harsh, discordant mixture of sounds, which does not represent a music collection with a variety of genres.

2. A patient who is Querulous might be guilty of __________

• A. Complaining
• B. Sleeping
• C. Shouting
• D. Crying

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Complaining.' Querulous means to be habitually complaining or whining. It is characterized by a tendency to find fault or raise petty objections. This behavior aligns with the definition of being querulous. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the meaning of querulous. Sleeping, shouting, or crying are not behaviors typically associated with being querulous.

3. Which word is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT? During the time he lived in New York, he worked as a writer, an editor, and a library.

• A. An
• B. Library
• C. As
• D. During

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'library' is incorrect in this context. It should be 'librarian' to be grammatically correct. The other choices ('an,' 'as,' 'during') are all grammatically correct and fit appropriately in the sentence.

4. The man's heart attack scared him badly and he decided to have a regular check-up.

• A. severely
• B. badly
• C. intensely
• D. profoundly

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'badly' is the appropriate adverb to describe the intensity of the fear caused by the heart attack. 'Severely' and 'intensely' do not convey the same meaning in this sentence. 'Profoundly' refers more to depth or seriousness of an emotion, which doesn't fit the context of fear caused by a heart attack.

5. The interns observed the CONTOURS of the patients' rash. What does Contours mean?

• A. Color
• B. Shape
• C. Size
• D. Texture

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Shape.' Contours refer to the outline or shape of something. In this context, the interns were observing the shape or outline of the patients' rash, not the color, size, or texture. Colors, sizes, and textures are not typically described as contours, making choices A, C, and D incorrect.
