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. What does oral mean?

• A. Through the skin
• B. Given through or affecting the mouth
• C. Injected
• D. Absorbed through digestion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Given through or affecting the mouth.' Oral medications are those that are taken by mouth. Choice A is incorrect as 'Through the skin' refers to something being absorbed through the skin, not through the mouth. Choice C, 'Injected,' is incorrect as oral administration does not involve injection but rather ingestion. Choice D, 'Absorbed through digestion,' is partially correct in that oral medications are indeed absorbed through the digestive system, but the term 'oral' specifically refers to the mouth in this context.

3. What is the meaning of venal?

• A. Vibrant
• B. Savage
• C. Greedy
• D. Fortunate

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'venal' means susceptible to corruption, especially by bribery. It is often used to describe individuals who are willing to do dishonest or immoral acts in exchange for money or favors. Therefore, the most appropriate synonym for 'venal' among the given choices is 'greedy.' 'Vibrant' means full of energy and life, 'savage' refers to fierce or violent behavior, and 'fortunate' means having good luck or being favored by fortune, none of which capture the meaning of 'venal.'

4. What term refers to the description of events in the order of their occurrence?

• A. Chronology
• B. Notation
• C. Documentation
• D. Helicon

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Chronology,' which specifically means the arrangement of events in the order of their occurrence. 'Notation' refers to a system of symbols or signs used to represent information. 'Documentation' is the process of recording information, while 'Helicon' does not relate to the description of events.

5. What does 'lethargic' mean?

• A. Active
• B. Difficult to arouse
• C. Energized
• D. Wide awake

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Lethargic refers to a state of sluggishness or drowsiness, making it difficult for a person to become alert or aroused. This term is the opposite of being active, energized, or wide awake. Choice A is incorrect as 'lethargic' is the opposite of 'active.' Choice C is incorrect as 'lethargic' implies a lack of energy. Choice D is incorrect as 'lethargic' signifies drowsiness, the opposite of being 'wide awake.' The correct answer is B.
