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

• A. Whom
• B. That
• C. Which
• D. Whose

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'that' is the correct relative pronoun to use in this context to refer to the people who were present that night. 'Whom' is used for objects of a verb or preposition, 'which' is used for things, and 'whose' is a possessive pronoun.

2. What does 'Flushed' refer to?

• A. Swollen
• B. Reddened or ruddy appearance
• C. Discolored
• D. Pale

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Reddened or ruddy appearance.' When someone is flushed, it means they have a red or ruddy complexion, often due to embarrassment, anger, or a physical reaction. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'flushed' specifically refers to a red or ruddy appearance, not swelling, discoloration, or paleness.

3. What does the quoted word 'equilibrium' mean in the following sentence?

• A. Ability to speak
• B. Sense of taste
• C. Sense of balance
• D. Ability to swallow

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Sense of balance.' In the sentence provided, 'equilibrium' refers to a state of physical balance or stability. The client lost his balance when he woke up, indicating a loss of stability or equilibrium. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'equilibrium' specifically refers to balance, not the ability to speak, sense of taste, or ability to swallow.

4. What is the best description for the word operated in this sentence? Rural communities are increasingly taking ownership of their hospitals, which may be operated by administrative medical groups.

• A. Performing surgery
• B. In effect
• C. Managed and run
• D. Brought about

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the context of the sentence provided, the word 'operated' is best described as 'managed and run.' This choice accurately reflects the idea that rural communities are taking ownership and control of their hospitals, which may be overseen and operated by administrative medical groups. The word 'operated' here implies the day-to-day management and functioning of the hospitals, making option C the most suitable description in this context. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not capture the essence of 'operated' in the context of managing and running the hospitals.

5. Finishing isn't as important as answering correctly.

• A. Quick
• B. As quick
• C. So quickist
• D. Quickly

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, 'quickly' is the correct adverb form that should be used to modify the verb 'answering.' 'Quickly' is the adverb form needed here to describe how the action is performed. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not provide the appropriate adverb form required in the sentence.
