1. What is the correct subjunctive verb to complete the sentence? 'If I ___ you, I'd leave now.'

• A. Were
• B. Is
• C. Be
• D. Was

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Were.' In the subjunctive mood, we use 'were' for hypothetical or unreal situations. The sentence should read, 'If I were you, I'd leave now.' Choice B ('Is') is incorrect because it is not in the subjunctive form. Choice C ('Be') is incorrect as it is the base form and not the correct form for the subjunctive mood. Choice D ('Was') is incorrect as it is the past tense form and not used in the subjunctive mood.

2. 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.

3. The new mother wanted to use cloth diapers rather than disposables.

• A. Close
• B. Clothing
• C. Cloth
• D. Clothes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct choice is C. Cloth because in the sentence, the new mother expressed a preference for using cloth diapers over disposables. 'Cloth' refers to a type of diaper material, and it makes sense in the context of the sentence. Choice A, 'Close,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the type of diapers being discussed. Choice B, 'Clothing,' is incorrect as it refers to garments worn on the body, not diapers. Choice D, 'Clothes,' is also incorrect as it is used for general garments, not specific to diapers.

4. A sore with disintegration of tissue might be called an ___________.

• A. allergy
• B. erythema
• C. alopecia
• D. ulcer

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A sore with disintegration of tissue is typically referred to as an ulcer. Ulcers are open sores or wounds that can develop on the skin's surface or within the body. They can vary in size and depth and are commonly associated with conditions such as pressure ulcers, peptic ulcers, and venous ulcers. Ulcers result from the breakdown of tissue, leading to a loss of the skin or mucous membrane in that area. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Allergy refers to a hypersensitivity reaction, erythema is redness of the skin, and alopecia is hair loss. These conditions do not specifically involve the disintegration of tissue as seen in an ulcer.

5. What is the definition of Bilateral?

• A. Occurring on one side
• B. Present on two sides
• C. Occurring in random areas
• D. Not occurring

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct definition of bilateral is something that is present on two sides. This term is commonly used in medical contexts to describe conditions or procedures that affect or involve both sides of a particular part of the body. Choice A, 'Occurring on one side,' is incorrect because bilateral refers to both sides, not just one. Choice C, 'Occurring in random areas,' is incorrect as bilateral specifically means on two sides, not random areas. Choice D, 'Not occurring,' is also incorrect as bilateral refers to something present on two sides, not the absence of occurrence.
