1. LABILE also means .

• A. Extremely changing
• B. Suicidal
• C. Rapidly changing
• D. With a high fever

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'labile' is used to describe something that is constantly changing or easily altered. Therefore, the best synonym for 'labile' is 'extremely changing.' Choice B, 'suicidal,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the meaning of 'labile.' Choice C, 'rapidly changing,' is close but not as precise as 'extremely changing.' Choice D, 'with a high fever,' is completely unrelated to the meaning of 'labile.'

2. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of this sentence? 'The nurse went from room to room looking for the missing patient.'

• A. patient
• B. form
• C. nurse
• D. missing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B' because 'form' is misspelled, it should be 'from'. In the given sentence, 'form' is incorrect as it should be 'from' to indicate movement from one place to another. The other choices ('patient,' 'nurse,' 'missing') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.

3. Choose the meaning of the word vent in the following sentence: 'A tube is used to vent the gases to the outside.'

• A. Block
• B. Trade
• C. Emit
• D. Inhale

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'vent' means to allow the gases to escape or be emitted to the outside. 'Block' is incorrect because it means to obstruct or close off. 'Trade' is incorrect as it refers to the exchange of goods or services. 'Inhale' is incorrect as it means to breathe in, which is the opposite of venting gases out.

4. What does 'Contour' mean?

• A. Flat area
• B. Shape or outline of something
• C. Volume of a structure
• D. Height of a structure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Contour' specifically refers to the shape or outline of something. In art and geography, contours are used to represent the outline or shape of an object or landform, making choice B the correct definition. Choice A, 'Flat area,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of contour which is about the shape or outline. Choice C, 'Volume of a structure,' is unrelated to the concept of contour. Choice D, 'Height of a structure,' is also incorrect as contour is more about the shape and not the height of an object.

5. A UTI is likely to involve the ___________.

• A. bones
• B. throat
• C. stomach
• D. bladder

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) is likely to involve the bladder. A urinary tract infection is an infection in any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The most common type of UTI is a bladder infection where bacteria enter the bladder and cause inflammation and infection. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because a UTI specifically affects the urinary tract system and not the bones, throat, or stomach.
