1. What is the description of the word ENVIRONMENT?

• A. The major ideas of the quality of life.
• B. The assistance found outside the family.
• C. The elements inside and outside of a person.
• D. The positive and negative aspects of a home.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the environment refers to the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates, encompassing both internal and external factors. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately define the concept of 'environment.' Choice A is too broad and does not specifically address the components of an environment. Choice B is vague and does not capture the entirety of what an environment entails. Choice D is limited in scope, focusing solely on a home environment rather than the broader concept of environment.

2. Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? 'During the fight, I was hit on ___.'

• A. Head
• B. On head
• C. A head
• D. The head

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Head.' The phrase 'on the head' is a prepositional phrase indicating where the person was hit. 'Head' is the correct noun to complete the sentence. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they either add unnecessary articles ('a' or 'the') or incorrectly use the preposition 'on' before 'head.' The correct structure is 'hit on the head,' without any additional articles.

3. The plumber used a flexible tube to open up the curved pipe.

• A. Solid
• B. Rigid
• C. Flexible
• D. Perforated

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The term 'flexible' accurately describes the type of tube used in the given context. A 'solid' tube would not have been suitable for navigating a curved pipe as it is not pliable. 'Rigid' implies stiffness and inflexibility, making it unsuitable for the task. 'Perforated' means pierced with holes, which is unrelated to the plumber's task of opening up a curved pipe.

4. What does Flaccid mean?

• A. Rigid
• B. Limp or lacking tone
• C. Tense
• D. Swollen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Limp or lacking tone.' Flaccid refers to something that is lacking firmness or muscle tone. Choice A, 'Rigid,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of flaccid. Choice C, 'Tense,' is also incorrect as it implies stiffness or tightness, which is different from being flaccid. Choice D, 'Swollen,' is unrelated to the meaning of flaccid.

5. What is a mass of tissue formed in the ovary known as?

• A. corpus delicti
• B. corpus luteum
• C. corpus striatum
• D. corpus callosum

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A mass of tissue formed in the ovary is known as the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure involved in the production of progesterone, which is essential for preparing and maintaining the uterus for pregnancy. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Corpus delicti refers to the body of a crime, corpus striatum is a part of the brain, and corpus callosum is a structure that connects the two hemispheres of the brain.
