1. 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.

2. If a theory is obsolete, what is true of it?

• A. Up to date
• B. Outdated
• C. Innovative
• D. Scientific

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Outdated.' When something is described as 'obsolete,' it means that it is outdated or no longer in use. Therefore, an obsolete theory is no longer current or relevant. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because an obsolete theory is not considered up to date, innovative, or necessarily scientific; it is outdated and no longer relevant in its field.

3. Select the word that means 'about to happen.'

• A. depending
• B. offending
• C. suspending
• D. impending

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'impending,' which means something that is about to happen. Choices A, B, and C do not have the same meaning. 'Depending' refers to relying on something, 'offending' means causing anger or resentment, and 'suspending' means temporarily stopping or delaying something.

4. A nit is a kind of _______.

• A. Abscess
• B. Bandage
• C. Parasite
• D. Infection

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Correct! A nit is the egg of a parasitic insect, such as a louse. This makes 'Parasite' the correct answer. An abscess (Choice A) is a swollen area within body tissue containing an accumulation of pus. A bandage (Choice B) is a strip of material used to cover and protect a wound. An infection (Choice D) is the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in body tissues.

5. What is another word for deferentially?

• A. Imperfectly
• B. Respectfully
• C. Competently
• D. Energetically

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'deferentially' means showing respect or submission to someone. Therefore, the closest synonym for 'deferentially' is 'respectfully' as it reflects the attitude and behavior of showing respect towards others. The other choices are incorrect: 'Imperfectly' means with flaws or errors, 'Competently' means having the necessary ability or skills, and 'Energetically' means with energy or enthusiasm, none of which capture the respectful connotation of 'deferentially.'
