1. Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? 'During the fight, I was hit on ___.'

• A. Head
• B. On head
• C. A head
• D. The head

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Head.' The phrase 'on the head' is a prepositional phrase indicating where the person was hit. 'Head' is the correct noun to complete the sentence. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they either add unnecessary articles ('a' or 'the') or incorrectly use the preposition 'on' before 'head.' The correct structure is 'hit on the head,' without any additional articles.

2. What does 'Inferior' mean?

• A. Above
• B. Below
• C. On the side
• D. In the middle

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Below.' Inferior means being in a lower position or rank compared to something else. Choice A ('Above') is incorrect as it represents the opposite of inferior. Choice C ('On the side') and Choice D ('In the middle') are also incorrect as they do not reflect the meaning of inferior, which conveys a sense of being lower in position or rank.

3. A patient who is lethargic may seem _____?

• A. Energetic
• B. Exhausted
• C. Confused
• D. Restless

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Exhausted.' Lethargic describes a state of feeling sluggish, tired, and lacking energy, which aligns with being exhausted. Choice A, 'Energetic,' is the opposite of lethargic and does not fit the description. Choice C, 'Confused,' refers to a state of disorientation rather than physical tiredness. Choice D, 'Restless,' implies a state of agitation or inability to relax, which contrasts with the typical presentation of someone who is lethargic.

4. Choose the meaning of the word 'supplement' in the following sentence: 'Calcium pills may be used to supplement your diet.'

• A. Replace
• B. Add to
• C. Reflect
• D. Parallel

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the sentence, the word 'supplement' is used to mean adding something extra to enhance or complete the diet. Therefore, the meaning of the word is 'add to.' Choice A ('Replace') is incorrect because 'supplement' does not mean to substitute or exchange. Choice C ('Reflect') is incorrect because 'supplement' does not mean to mirror or show. Choice D ('Parallel') is incorrect because 'supplement' does not mean to correspond or be similar in a particular way.

5. If the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then they could be heard __________.

• A. Thorough
• B. Thought
• C. Through
• D. Throughout

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'throughout' means in every part of a place or thing. In this context, if the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then it implies that the sound could be heard throughout the community, making 'Throughout' the most appropriate answer. Choice A 'Thorough' means complete or absolute, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Choice B 'Thought' is a past tense form of the verb 'think,' which is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. Choice C 'Through' is a preposition and does not convey the intended meaning of being heard in every part of the community.
