1. He has 3 DISCRETE symptoms, causing the doctor to create an elaborative plan of care.

• A. individual
• B. common
• C. difficult
• D. separate

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term 'discrete' means individually separate and distinct. Therefore, the most appropriate choice to describe the symptoms that are distinct and separate from each other is 'separate' (option D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not convey the specific meaning of the term 'discrete' as separate and distinct.

2. What is the meaning of the word tolerance as used in the last paragraph about Yoga?

• A. Open-mindedness.
• B. Approval.
• C. Endurance.
• D. Generosity.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, "tolerance" refers to the capacity to endure discomfort, particularly in relation to pain during yoga practices. The passage discusses how yoga improves pain tolerance, emphasizing the ability to withstand discomfort rather than any other meanings associated with the term, such as open-mindedness or approval.

3. Which of the following is the largest organ in the human body?

• A. Liver
• B. Skin
• C. Brain
• D. Heart

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It serves as a protective barrier against the environment, regulates temperature, and provides sensory information. The liver, brain, and heart are vital organs, but they are not as extensive as the skin. The liver is primarily responsible for detoxification and metabolism. The brain is the control center of the body, coordinating various functions. The heart is a crucial organ that pumps blood throughout the body. However, in terms of size, the skin surpasses all of these organs.

4. Multiply: 25 × 4 = and express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.01
• B. 0.1
• C. 1
• D. 10

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To multiply 25 by 4, you get 100. To express the result in decimal form, you divide by 100. Therefore, the result is 1. Choice A (0.01) is incorrect as it represents 1/100, not the result of 25 × 4. Choice B (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 1/10. Choice D (10) is incorrect as it is the result before converting it to decimal form.

5. How many liters are there in 500 milliliters?

• A. 0.5 liters
• B. 5 liters
• C. 50 liters
• D. 500,000 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.5 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 500 milliliters is equal to 0.5 liters. Choice B, 5 liters, is incorrect because it would be the equivalent of 5000 milliliters. Choice C, 50 liters, is incorrect as it is ten times the converted value. Choice D, 500,000 liters, is way off as it is a thousand times more than the correct conversion.
