Nursing Elites

1. Where did Robert and I decide to buy a house after looking at five different houses?

• A. Forest Road
• B. Pine Street
• C. Rice Avenue
• D. Willow Lane

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Robert and the speaker decided to buy the house on Forest Road after considering five different houses. The first two houses lacked the necessary space, the third didn't have a big enough yard, the fourth was above their price range, and the last one wasn't in the desired neighborhood. Only the house on Forest Road met their requirements for space and price, making it the final choice.

2. What is the definition of the word 'haunt' in the following passage? 'From that time forward, Mr. Utterson began to haunt the door in the by street of shops.'

• A. To levitate
• B. To constantly visit
• C. To terrorize
• D. To daunt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Haunt' in this context means to visit a place frequently or persistently, which aligns with Mr. Utterson's actions of regularly going to the door in the by street of shops. The other choices are incorrect because 'levitate' means to rise or float in the air, 'terrorize' means to cause extreme fear, and 'daunt' means to make someone feel intimidated or apprehensive, none of which accurately reflect the meaning of 'haunt' in this context.

3. Which organizational style is used in the following passage?

• A. Cause and effect order
• B. Compare and contrast order
• C. Spatial order
• D. Time order

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passage uses a cause and effect order to explain the reasons for the cafe's lack of success. It presents causes (higher prices and early closure) first, followed by their effects (students unable to afford food and beverages, students going elsewhere). This structure helps readers understand the relationship between the causes and their resulting effects. Choice B, 'Compare and contrast order,' is incorrect as the passage does not focus on comparing different aspects or contrasting ideas. Choice C, 'Spatial order,' is incorrect as it does not describe physical locations or arrangements. Choice D, 'Time order,' is incorrect as the passage does not primarily follow a chronological sequence of events.

4. What is the instructor's main purpose in writing this email to his students?

• A. To criticize students for their poor performance on the recent essay exam
• B. To motivate students to persevere despite setbacks
• C. To offer students a chance to improve their scores and avoid failing the course
• D. To acknowledge the difficulty of the essay exam for most students

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The instructor's main purpose in writing the email is to provide students with opportunities to improve their scores and avoid failing the course. The email outlines different options for extra credit projects that can help students make up for the low scores they received on the essay exam. This shows that the instructor is focused on helping students succeed rather than criticizing them (choice A), motivating them (choice B), or acknowledging the difficulty of the exam (choice D).

5. What is the first thing the instructions say to do to get the young girl to sleep?

• A. Give her a stuffed animal.
• B. Read her a couple of books.
• C. Rock her in her chair.
• D. Play music in her room.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Read her a couple of books.' The instructions in the extract clearly state that the first thing to do to get the young girl to sleep is to read her a couple of books. This helps her settle down for sleep. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because giving her a stuffed animal, rocking her in her chair, or playing music in her room are mentioned in the instructions but not as the first step to get her to sleep.
