1. In the United States, drivers drive cars on the _____ side of the road.

• A. Rite
• B. Left
• C. Off-side
• D. Right

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the United States, drivers drive on the 'right' side of the road. This is the standard practice in the country. Choice A 'Rite' is incorrect as it is a misspelling of 'Right.' Choice B 'Left' is incorrect as driving on the left side is common in countries like the UK, not the US. Choice C 'Off-side' is incorrect as it is not a standard term used to describe the side of the road where people drive in the US.

2. What does Medial mean?

• A. Away from the midline
• B. Toward the midline
• C. At the side
• D. Below the body

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Medial means toward the midline of the body. In anatomical terms, 'medial' refers to positions closer to the midline of the body, which divides the body into left and right halves. Choice A is incorrect as it describes 'lateral,' which means away from the midline. Choice C is incorrect as it describes 'lateral' or 'side.' Choice D is incorrect as it describes 'inferior,' which means below or lower in position.

3. Another word for CONTEMPLATING is?

• A. Impasse
• B. Impartial
• C. Pondering
• D. Emending

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Pondering" is another word for contemplating because it means to think about something carefully or thoroughly. Both terms imply deep reflection or consideration of a subject or idea. Therefore, "pondering" best captures the meaning of contemplating among the given choices.

4. Choose the meaning of the word suppress in the following sentence: 'A single dose will suppress even the nastiest cough.'

• A. Subdue
• B. Cure
• C. Restore
• D. Affect

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the sentence, the word 'suppress' is synonymous with the word 'subdue.' To suppress a cough means to reduce or restrain it, which aligns with the meaning of subdue. The other options are incorrect: 'Cure' implies completely eliminating the cough, 'Restore' means to bring back to a former condition, and 'Affect' is too general and does not capture the specific meaning of 'suppress' in this context.

5. Nurse Junko and _______ will review the patient’s chart.

• A. She
• B. Them
• C. Me
• D. Him

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: She.' In this sentence, 'She' is the correct pronoun to use as the subject since it refers to Nurse Junko, who is one of the individuals performing the action. 'Them' (choice B), 'Me' (choice C), and 'Him' (choice D) are incorrect as they do not match the subject of the sentence, which is Nurse Junko.
