1. After robbing the bank, _____.

• A. the thief fled
• B. he escaped
• C. they hid
• D. they fled

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After robbing the bank, 'the thief fled' is the correct choice as it logically follows the action of robbing a bank. The singular pronoun 'he' in choice B is not appropriate as 'the thief' is singular. Choices C and D use 'they,' which is a plural pronoun and does not agree with 'the thief,' making them grammatically incorrect.

2. The healthcare provider asked about the patient's CONDITION.

• A. A place in society
• B. Ability to pay
• C. Whereabouts
• D. Physical state

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In a medical setting, when a healthcare provider asks about a patient's 'condition,' they are typically inquiring about the patient's physical state or health status. This encompasses aspects such as vital signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment progress, and overall well-being. 'A place in society,' 'Ability to pay,' and 'Whereabouts' are unrelated to the patient's health status and are not typically what a healthcare provider would ask about in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Physical state,' as it aligns best with the context of healthcare and patient care.

3. What does the term 'viscous' mean?

• A. Thick and sticky
• B. Slimy
• C. Watery
• D. Dry

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Thick and sticky.' Viscous describes a substance that is thick and sticky, resisting flow easily. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Slimy' implies a slippery, gooey texture; 'Watery' describes a substance with a thin, fluid consistency; and 'Dry' indicates the absence of moisture.

4. What does ONEROUS mean?

• A. Easy
• B. Burdensome
• C. Interesting
• D. Relaxing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Burdensome.' The term 'onerous' is used to describe something that is burdensome, oppressive, or difficult to deal with. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'easy,' 'interesting,' and 'relaxing' do not convey the same meaning as 'onerous.'

5. What is another word for panacea?

• A. Poison
• B. Cure
• C. Treatment
• D. Remedy

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cure. A panacea is a remedy or cure for all diseases. While 'poison' (choice A) is the opposite of a cure, 'treatment' (choice C) is a general approach to addressing an illness rather than a universal solution, and 'remedy' (choice D) is synonymous with cure but not as closely related to the concept of a universal remedy as 'cure'.
