1. It is required that he _____ payment immediately.

• A. make
• B. sends
• C. sent
• D. deliver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'make.' In this context, 'make' is the correct verb to use with 'payment.' The sentence structure requires a base form of the verb after 'required that.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'sends,' 'sent,' and 'deliver' do not match the structure needed in this sentence.

2. In medicine, to be resistant is to be ___________.

• A. unwilling
• B. unaffected by
• C. opposed to
• D. accepting of

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In medicine, when a microorganism or pathogen is described as resistant, it means that it is not affected by the drug or treatment being used against it. Resistance can develop due to various factors, making the pathogen no longer susceptible to the effects of the treatment. Therefore, the correct answer is 'unaffected by.' The other choices are incorrect: 'unwilling' and 'opposed to' do not accurately describe the concept of resistance in medicine, and 'accepting of' is the opposite of what resistance represents in this context.

3. What is another word for ADHERE?

• A. Remain intact
• B. Loosen
• C. Hold fast
• D. Position next to

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hold fast.' 'Adhere' means to stick firmly to something, which aligns with 'hold fast.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Remain intact' does not capture the idea of sticking to something, 'loosen' is the opposite of 'adhere,' and 'position next to' does not convey the sense of sticking or clinging.

4. A patient who is heedless is ___________.

• A. unlucky
• B. careless
• C. no longer in care
• D. hard of hearing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Someone who is heedless is not paying attention or being cautious. Therefore, a patient who is heedless can be described as careless, as they may not be taking proper care or paying attention to important things that affect their well-being. Choice A, 'unlucky,' is incorrect as being heedless is not related to luck. Choice C, 'no longer in care,' is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the meaning of heedless. Choice D, 'hard of hearing,' is unrelated to the concept of being heedless.

5. An overt symptom is ___________.

• A. dangerous
• B. hidden
• C. obvious
• D. controlled

Correct answer: C

Rationale: An overt symptom is a symptom that is easily noticeable or observable. It is not hidden or controlled, but rather overt and easily seen or identified by others. Therefore, the correct answer is C, 'obvious.' 'Dangerous' (choice A) does not describe the visibility of a symptom but rather its potential harm. 'Hidden' (choice B) is the opposite of overt, meaning not easily visible. 'Controlled' (choice D) does not relate to the visibility of a symptom but rather implies regulation or management.'
