1. If someone is disseminating information, what are they doing?

• A. Hiding it
• B. Broadcasting it
• C. Destroying it
• D. Withholding it

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Broadcasting it.' Disseminating information means spreading or sharing it widely to reach a broader audience. Choice A, 'Hiding it,' is incorrect as disseminating involves making information known, not concealing it. Choice C, 'Destroying it,' is incorrect as disseminating means to distribute, not to eliminate. Choice D, 'Withholding it,' is incorrect because withholding information means keeping it back rather than sharing it openly.

2. What does Milieu mean?

• A. A person's background
• B. The environmental condition or setting
• C. A person's history
• D. The chemical composition

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'The environmental condition or setting.' Milieu refers to the surroundings or environment in which a person lives or operates. Choice A ('A person's background') is incorrect as it refers more to someone's personal history rather than the external environment. Choice C ('A person's history') is also incorrect as it specifically relates to an individual's past events and experiences. Choice D ('The chemical composition') is unrelated to the meaning of milieu, which pertains to the physical or social setting.

3. What is the meaning of Absorption?

• A. Movement of nutrients from the digestive tube into the bloodstream
• B. Secretion of enzymes into the stomach
• C. Absorption of water from the intestines
• D. Excretion of waste from the body

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Movement of nutrients from the digestive tube into the bloodstream.' Absorption specifically refers to the process where nutrients are taken up by the body from the digestive tract into the bloodstream for utilization. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Choice B refers to the secretion of enzymes into the stomach, choice C refers to the absorption of water from the intestines, and choice D refers to the excretion of waste from the body, which are not the definitions of absorption.

4. What term refers to the description of events in the order of their occurrence?

• A. Chronology
• B. Notation
• C. Documentation
• D. Helicon

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Chronology,' which specifically means the arrangement of events in the order of their occurrence. 'Notation' refers to a system of symbols or signs used to represent information. 'Documentation' is the process of recording information, while 'Helicon' does not relate to the description of events.

5. Select the word that means 'open.'

• A. inverted
• B. patent
• C. convent
• D. converted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Patent' is the correct answer as it means something that is open or unobstructed. Choices A, C, and D do not convey the meaning of 'open.' 'Inverted' means turned inside out or upside down, 'convent' refers to a religious community, and 'converted' means changed into a different form or function.
