1. Which part of the sentence contains a typographical error?

• A. To a
• B. Very strong
• C. Being
• D. Went from

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The phrase 'Went form' contains a typographical error. It should be 'went from' to indicate the change in condition correctly. Choice A 'To a,' choice B 'Very strong,' and choice C 'Being' are grammatically correct and do not contain any typographical errors in the given sentence.

2. What is the best description of aseptic?

• A. Infected
• B. Purified
• C. Contaminated
• D. Sterilized

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Purified.' Aseptic means free from contamination or purified. In medical and scientific contexts, aseptic techniques are used to prevent contamination and maintain sterility in environments or procedures. Choice A, 'Infected,' is incorrect as aseptic refers to being free from contamination, not being infected. Choice C, 'Contaminated,' is incorrect as aseptic means the opposite of contaminated. Choice D, 'Sterilized,' is incorrect as aseptic focuses on the absence of contamination rather than the process of sterilization.

3. What does the term 'Precept' mean?

• A. A rule
• B. A guiding principle
• C. A habit
• D. A punishment

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Precept' refers to a guiding principle rather than just a rule, habit, or punishment. A precept is a general rule or principle guiding behavior, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because a precept is more than just a simple rule, habit, or punishment; it encompasses a fundamental guiding principle that influences actions and decisions.

4. What is the best description of the word 'insidious'?

• A. stealthy
• B. deadly
• C. collapsed
• D. new

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'stealthy.' 'Insidious' is often used to describe something that proceeds in a gradual, subtle, but harmful way. It is not directly or openly harmful like 'deadly,' nor does it mean 'collapsed' or 'new.' Therefore, 'stealthy' best captures the meaning of 'insidious.'

5. What is another word for ABSTAIN?

• A. Refrain
• B. Indulge
• C. Adhere
• D. Eliminate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Refrain is another word for abstain, as both words mean to resist or hold oneself back from doing something. In contrast, indulge (choice B) means to allow oneself to enjoy something freely, making it the opposite of abstain. Adhere (choice C) means to stick to or follow closely, while eliminate (choice D) means to completely remove or get rid of something. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 'Refrain,' which is a synonym for 'abstain.'
