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. Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY in the sentence? They're going to the mall to pick up there uniforms for their coach.

• A. Their
• B. Going
• C. They're
• D. There

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'There.' In this context, 'There' is incorrect as it should be replaced with 'their' to show possession, referring to the uniforms belonging to the team. 'Their' (choice A) is used correctly to indicate possession. 'Going' (choice B) and 'They're' (choice C) are also used correctly in the sentence.

3. If a lump under the skin is palpable, what is true?

• A. It is malignant.
• B. It has burst.
• C. It is warm.
• D. It can be felt.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If a lump under the skin is palpable, it means that it can be felt or touched. Palpable lumps can be detected by touch, which can lead to further evaluation or examination by a healthcare professional to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. The correct answer is 'D' because when a lump is palpable, it means it can be physically felt, indicating its presence under the skin. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the palpability of a lump does not automatically indicate malignancy, bursting, or warmth.

4. What is the best description of an audit check?

• A. A restraint on appraisals
• B. A payment for inventory
• C. A test of hearing
• D. A review or inspection

Correct answer: D

Rationale: An audit check is a process of reviewing and inspecting financial records, transactions, or processes to ensure accuracy and compliance with established guidelines. It involves examining information systematically and thoroughly to verify its completeness and reliability. Option D, "A review or inspection," best describes an audit check. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not relate to the process of auditing financial records for accuracy and compliance.

5. Choose the meaning of the word 'contravene' in the following sentence: 'Did the interns contravene the doctor’s orders?'

• A. Comply with
• B. Misjudge
• C. Comprehend
• D. Disregard

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'contravene' in this sentence means to go against or disobey. Therefore, the correct meaning is closest to 'disregard.' The interns did not follow or comply with the doctor's orders, indicating that they contravened them. 'Comply with' (Choice A) is the opposite of 'contravene,' 'misjudge' (Choice B) and 'comprehend' (Choice C) do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'contravene' in this context.
