1. When a child has a stuffy nose, they might find it hard to?

• A. Breathe
• B. Breathing
• C. Breath
• D. Breadth

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Breathe.' When a child has a stuffy nose, the difficulty they experience is related to the action of breathing. 'Breathing' (choice B) is a gerund and doesn't fit the context of the question. 'Breath' (choice C) is a noun, not the correct verb form. 'Breadth' (choice D) refers to the extent or width of something and is unrelated to the child's difficulty due to a stuffy nose.

2. Which term refers to the surgical removal of an organ's contents?

• A. Vivisection
• B. Amputation
• C. Evisceration
• D. Augmentation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Evisceration.' Evisceration specifically refers to the surgical removal of an organ's contents, for example, the removal of abdominal contents during certain surgical procedures. Vivisection (A) involves performing experiments on live animals, amputation (B) is the removal of a limb, and augmentation (D) is the process of increasing the size, value, or quality of something. Therefore, in the context of surgical procedures, evisceration best fits the description of removing an organ's contents.

3. What is the best description of an audit check?

• A. A restraint on appraisals
• B. A payment for inventory
• C. A test of hearing
• D. A review or inspection

Correct answer: D

Rationale: An audit check is a process of reviewing and inspecting financial records, transactions, or processes to ensure accuracy and compliance with established guidelines. It involves examining information systematically and thoroughly to verify its completeness and reliability. Option D, "A review or inspection," best describes an audit check. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not relate to the process of auditing financial records for accuracy and compliance.

4. Select the meaning of the word 'spurious' in the sentence: 'The researcher’s spurious argument confused even the experts.'

• A. Bogus
• B. Obscure
• C. Baffling
• D. Outrageous

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'spurious' in this sentence means something that is false or not genuine. In this context, the researcher's argument was misleading or deceitful, confusing even the experts. 'Bogus' means not genuine or false, which aligns closely with the intended meaning of 'spurious.' The other choices, 'obscure,' 'baffling,' and 'outrageous,' do not capture the essence of being false or deceitful, making them incorrect in this context.

5. What does intact mean?

• A. Damaged
• B. In place, unharmed
• C. Destroyed
• D. Incomplete

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'In place, unharmed.' 'Intact' refers to something that is whole, undamaged, or unharmed. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe states opposite to what intact means. 'Damaged,' 'Destroyed,' and 'Incomplete' all signify a lack of wholeness or harm, which is contrary to the meaning of intact.
