1. Another word for STRICT is?

• A. Stringent
• B. Daily
• C. Weekly
• D. Nominal

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, "Stringent." The term "stringent" is a synonym for "strict," both denoting being rigid, precise, or exacting in rules, requirements, or standards. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not carry the same meaning as "strict." 'Daily' and 'weekly' refer to frequency, while 'nominal' means minimal or insignificant, which are not synonymous with strict.

2. He tried to remember the names of all the people who were there that night.

• A. that
• B. who
• C. which
• D. whom

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'who' is the correct relative pronoun to refer to people. 'That' is used for things, 'which' is used for animals or things, and 'whom' is an object pronoun, not needed in this sentence. Therefore, 'who' is the most appropriate choice.

3. What is the meaning of plastic?

• A. Mechanical
• B. Durable
• C. Authentic
• D. Flexible

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Flexible. Plastic is a material that can be easily molded or shaped, known for its flexibility. It can bend and stretch without breaking, making it versatile and durable. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because plastic is not primarily associated with being mechanical, authentic, or durable, but rather with its ability to be shaped and its flexibility.

4. The interns observed the CONTOURS of the patients' rash. What does Contours mean?

• A. Color
• B. Shape
• C. Size
• D. Texture

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Shape.' Contours refer to the outline or shape of something. In this context, the interns were observing the shape or outline of the patients' rash, not the color, size, or texture. Colors, sizes, and textures are not typically described as contours, making choices A, C, and D incorrect.

5. What does the quoted word 'impervious' mean in the following sentence?

• A. Coping well
• B. Enjoying
• C. Not affected
• D. Very sensitive

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Not affected.' In the context provided, 'impervious' means that the client is not affected by pain. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately capture the meaning of 'impervious' in this context. 'Coping well' implies dealing with pain effectively, 'enjoying' does not reflect being unaffected by pain, and 'very sensitive' is the opposite of what 'impervious' means.
