1. How many grams are in 6 kilograms?

• A. 600 grams
• B. 6000 grams
• C. 600 grams
• D. 60,000 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1,000. In this case, 6 kilograms would be equal to 6 × 1,000 = 6,000 grams. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not apply the correct conversion factor from kilograms to grams.

2. What is another word for contemptuous?

• A. Sympathetic
• B. Exhausted
• C. Scornful
• D. Insensitive

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'contemptuous' means showing disdain or scorn for something or someone. Therefore, the word 'scornful' is the most closely related synonym to 'contemptuous' in this list. 'Sympathetic' means showing compassion, 'exhausted' means very tired, and 'insensitive' means lacking empathy. These options do not convey the same meaning as 'contemptuous'.

3. Which is the best title for this passage?

• A. “Medical Treatment for Gout”
• B. “Uric Acid Affects the Joints”
• C. “Risk Factors for One Type of Arthritis”
• D. “Nurse-Led Care Aids Gout Patients”

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage focuses on how nurse-led care, including holistic education and lifestyle advice, can aid patients with gout.

4. Which word is used incorrectly? 'I did the work before he asked me to.'

• A. did
• B. work
• C. asked
• D. before

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'did' is correctly used in the sentence to form the past tense of the verb 'do.' In this context, 'did' is the appropriate term. The other words in the sentence, 'work,' 'asked,' and 'before,' are all used correctly and do not represent an incorrect word choice. Therefore, 'did' is the only word that is not used incorrectly in the given sentence.

5. How does the lymphatic system work with the circulatory system?

• A. The circulatory system produces red blood cells for the lymphatic system.
• B. Lymph draws excess fluid from the cells and deposits it into the blood vessels.
• C. The heart regulates the production of lymph in the lymph glands.
• D. White cells from the lymphatic system eliminate excess red blood cells.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The lymphatic system works with the circulatory system by draining excess fluid and waste products from the spaces between cells, known as interstitial fluid. This excess fluid, now called lymph, is then transported back into the blood circulation through lymphatic vessels. This process helps maintain fluid balance in the body and supports the circulatory system in regulating blood volume and pressure. Choice A is incorrect because the circulatory system does not produce red blood cells for the lymphatic system. Choice C is incorrect as the heart does not regulate lymph production in lymph glands. Choice D is incorrect as white cells from the lymphatic system do not eliminate excess red blood cells. Therefore, the correct answer is B, as lymph draws excess fluid from the cells and deposits it into the blood vessels, aiding in maintaining proper fluid balance and supporting the circulatory system.
