1. A child with a stuffy nose might find it hard to ____.

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. A child with a stuffy nose might find it hard to breathe. 'Breathe' is the correct verb form in this sentence. 'Breathing' is the present participle form and could also work, but in the context of the sentence, 'breathe' is more suitable. 'Breath' is a noun referring to a single inhalation or exhalation of air, not the correct form in this context. 'Breadth' is a noun referring to the extent or measure of something from side to side, which is completely unrelated to the ability to breathe with a stuffy nose.

2. The abbreviation LBW on an infant’s chart refers to the baby’s ___________.

• A. genetic makeup
• B. feeding schedule
• C. Babinski response
• D. weight at birth

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The abbreviation LBW stands for 'Low Birth Weight,' which specifically refers to the weight of the infant at birth. It is an important indicator of the baby's health and development, with low birth weight infants often requiring special medical attention and care. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because LBW does not relate to genetic makeup, feeding schedule, or Babinski response; rather, it is a term used to describe infants who are born weighing less than normal, which can have implications for their health and require additional monitoring and support.

3. What does 'Impending' mean?

• A. Likely to never occur
• B. Likely to occur soon
• C. Certain to never occur
• D. Unlikely to occur

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Likely to occur soon.' 'Impending' is used to describe something that is about to happen or is looming in the near future. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Impending' does not indicate that something is unlikely, certain to never occur, or likely to never occur.

4. What does Dilute mean?

• A. To concentrate
• B. To make a liquid less concentrated
• C. To solidify
• D. To evaporate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct definition of dilute is to make a liquid less concentrated. When a substance is diluted, it means it has been mixed with another substance to reduce its strength or concentration. Option A, 'To concentrate,' is the opposite of dilute. Option C, 'To solidify,' means to make or become hard or solid, which is unrelated to diluting a liquid. Option D, 'To evaporate,' means to change from a liquid to a vapor, also unrelated to diluting a liquid. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

5. Her mother asked her what she would do after she _____.

• A. graduated
• B. completes
• C. finishes
• D. finished

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'graduated.' In reported speech, the verb tense often shifts back, so 'graduated' (past tense) is the appropriate choice here. 'Completes' (present tense), 'finishes' (present tense), and 'finished' (past tense) are incorrect as they do not match the reported speech context where the verb tense typically shifts back. Therefore, 'graduated' is the most suitable choice to complete the sentence.
