1. 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.

2. Select the meaning of the word 'labile' in the sentence: 'The child developed a labile condition that worried the parents.'

• A. Fevered
• B. Volatile
• C. Stomach
• D. Vision

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Volatile.' In this context, 'labile' means having an unpredictable or changeable condition. Choice A, 'Fevered,' is incorrect as it relates to having a fever, not the intended meaning of 'labile.' Choices C and D, 'Stomach' and 'Vision,' are unrelated to the context of the sentence and do not reflect the meaning of 'labile' as 'volatile.'

3. If illegal operators are posing as licensed pharmacists, what are they doing?

• A. Modeling
• B. Inquiring
• C. Positioning
• D. Pretending

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If illegal operators are posing as licensed pharmacists, they are pretending to be licensed pharmacists when they are not. This deceptive behavior is misleading and potentially dangerous for consumers seeking legitimate medical advice and products. Choice A, modeling, implies imitating behavior or appearance, which is not the case here. Choice B, inquiring, suggests seeking information or asking questions, which is not the correct behavior in this context. Choice C, positioning, refers to arranging or placing things in a particular way, which is not relevant to the situation described in the question.

4. What does 'Contour' mean?

• A. Flat area
• B. Shape or outline of something
• C. Volume of a structure
• D. Height of a structure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Contour' specifically refers to the shape or outline of something. In art and geography, contours are used to represent the outline or shape of an object or landform, making choice B the correct definition. Choice A, 'Flat area,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of contour which is about the shape or outline. Choice C, 'Volume of a structure,' is unrelated to the concept of contour. Choice D, 'Height of a structure,' is also incorrect as contour is more about the shape and not the height of an object.

5. What are the soft spots on the head of a newborn called?

• A. Fistula
• B. Fontanel
• C. Follicle
• D. Fissure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Fontanel.' Fontanels are the soft spots on a newborn's head where the skull bones have not yet fused together, allowing for some flexibility during birth and rapid brain growth in early infancy. 'Fistula' is a medical term for an abnormal connection between two body parts. 'Follicle' refers to a small cavity in the skin from which hair grows. 'Fissure' is a narrow opening or crack, not related to the soft spots on a newborn's head.
