1. Which word is NOT CORRECT? The student did not recognize which backpack was hers.

• A. Backpack
• B. Student
• C. Hers
• D. Recognize

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hers.' The possessive pronoun 'hers' does not require an apostrophe. The use of 'her's' with an apostrophe is grammatically incorrect. Choices A, B, and D ('Backpack,' 'Student,' and 'Recognize') are all spelled correctly and are grammatically sound in the sentence provided.

2. Which word in the sentence needs to be corrected for proper grammar?

• A. About it
• B. A
• C. With
• D. Made

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'A' should be corrected to 'an' in the sentence. The sentence should read, 'The nurse made an error with the medication, so the doctor made notes about it in the patient's file.' The article 'an' is used before a noun beginning with a vowel sound, like 'error' in this case. Choices A, C, and D are grammatically correct in the sentence and do not need to be altered.

3. 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.

4. What does 'Inferior' mean?

• A. Above
• B. Below
• C. On the side
• D. In the middle

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Below.' Inferior means being in a lower position or rank compared to something else. Choice A ('Above') is incorrect as it represents the opposite of inferior. Choice C ('On the side') and Choice D ('In the middle') are also incorrect as they do not reflect the meaning of inferior, which conveys a sense of being lower in position or rank.

5. Before his death at age 82, comedian Rodney Dangerfield's motto was, 'I don't get _____.'

• A. respect
• B. sympathy
• C. attention
• D. care

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: respect.' Rodney Dangerfield was famously known for his catchphrase 'I don't get no respect,' which perfectly aligns with the concept of respect being his motto. The other choices, 'B: sympathy,' 'C: attention,' and 'D: care,' do not accurately capture Dangerfield's well-known persona and catchphrase. Therefore, 'A: respect' is the most suitable answer.
