1. Another word for AFFECT is?

• A. Reduce
• B. Contaminate
• C. Eliminate
• D. Influence

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Correct answer: Another word for AFFECT is INFLUENCE. Affect and influence are synonymous when used in the context of producing an effect on something or someone. Choice A, 'Reduce,' is incorrect as it means to make something smaller or lessen its quantity. Choice B, 'Contaminate,' is incorrect as it means to make something impure or harmful. Choice C, 'Eliminate,' is incorrect as it means to completely remove or get rid of something.

2. Select the word that means 'open.'

• A. inverted
• B. patent
• C. convent
• D. converted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Patent' is the correct answer as it means something that is open or unobstructed. Choices A, C, and D do not convey the meaning of 'open.' 'Inverted' means turned inside out or upside down, 'convent' refers to a religious community, and 'converted' means changed into a different form or function.

3. What does 'deteriorating' mean?

• A. Improving
• B. Worsening
• C. Staying the same
• D. Fluctuating

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Worsening.' Deteriorating refers to something getting worse over time, not improving (choice A), staying the same (choice C), or fluctuating (choice D).

4. Medicine that is given in inhalant form is ___________.

• A. dissolved
• B. injected
• C. taken orally
• D. breathed in

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Medicine that is given in inhalant form is intended to be breathed in, typically through the mouth or nose. This allows the medication to reach the lungs directly and be absorbed into the bloodstream quickly. Examples of medications given in inhalant form include inhalers used for conditions like asthma and nebulizers for respiratory treatments. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because medicine in inhalant form is not dissolved, injected, or taken orally; instead, it is inhaled to reach the lungs.

5. What is the best description of the verb emit?

• A. To discharge
• B. To exclude
• C. To dismiss
• D. To moderate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The best description of the verb emit is 'to discharge.' Emit means to produce and release something such as a sound, odor, or substance. Discharge is synonymous with emit in this context as it conveys the idea of releasing or sending out something, which aligns with the meaning of emit. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'To exclude' means to deny access or prevent from entering, which is not the same as emit. 'To dismiss' means to remove from consideration or to let go, which is different from emitting. 'To moderate' means to make or become less extreme, intense, or severe, which is not the same as emitting or releasing something.
