1. Before his death at age 82, comedian Rodney Dangerfield's motto was, 'I don't get _____.'

• A. respect
• B. sympathy
• C. attention
• D. care

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: respect.' Rodney Dangerfield was famously known for his catchphrase 'I don't get no respect,' which perfectly aligns with the concept of respect being his motto. The other choices, 'B: sympathy,' 'C: attention,' and 'D: care,' do not accurately capture Dangerfield's well-known persona and catchphrase. Therefore, 'A: respect' is the most suitable answer.

2. Select the sentence in which 'legal' is used as an adjective.

• A. He is a legal resident of the United States
• B. This is a legal action
• C. That action was legal
• D. He acted in a legal way

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'He is a legal resident of the United States.' In this sentence, 'legal' is used to describe the type of resident he is, making it an adjective. The other choices use 'legal' as part of a noun phrase or an adverbial phrase, not as an adjective. Choice B uses 'legal' to describe the type of action, making it a noun adjunct. Choice C uses 'legal' to describe the legality of the action, making it part of an adjectival phrase. Choice D uses 'legal' to describe the manner in which he acted, making it an adverb.

3. What does Manifestation mean?

• A. A symptom or sign of a condition
• B. An indication or sign of a condition
• C. A treatment plan
• D. A type of diagnosis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Manifestation means an indication or sign of a condition. It is not a treatment plan (choice C) or a type of diagnosis (choice D). While choice A is close, 'symptom' is more specific than 'indication' in this context, making choice B the most accurate.

4. What does 'inflamed' mean?

• A. Healthy and normal
• B. Reddened, swollen, and often tender
• C. Discolored but not swollen
• D. Hard and stiff

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'inflamed' means being red, swollen, and often tender. It is a common response of the body to injury or infection, involving increased blood flow and immune cell activity. Choice A is incorrect because 'inflamed' does not describe a state of being healthy and normal. Choice C is incorrect as it only mentions discoloration without the characteristic swelling. Choice D is incorrect as 'inflamed' does not imply being hard and stiff.

5. Contact dermatitis occurs through the sense of ___________.

• A. smell
• B. taste
• C. touch
• D. sight

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Contact dermatitis occurs through the sense of touch when the skin comes into direct contact with irritants or allergens, leading to an inflammatory reaction. This condition is commonly caused by the skin being in contact with items like certain chemicals, fabrics, plants, or metals, resulting in redness, itching, and sometimes blisters. The other choices (smell, taste, sight) do not relate to the cause of contact dermatitis, which specifically involves the skin's direct contact with irritants or allergens.
