1. Medicine that is given in inhalant form is ___________.

• A. dissolved
• B. injected
• C. taken orally
• D. breathed in

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Medicine that is given in inhalant form is intended to be breathed in, typically through the mouth or nose. This allows the medication to reach the lungs directly and be absorbed into the bloodstream quickly. Examples of medications given in inhalant form include inhalers used for conditions like asthma and nebulizers for respiratory treatments. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because medicine in inhalant form is not dissolved, injected, or taken orally; instead, it is inhaled to reach the lungs.

2. What does 'Deficit' mean?

• A. An excess of something
• B. A deficiency or lack of something
• C. An abundance of something
• D. A stable amount

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'A deficiency or lack of something.' The term 'deficit' refers to a shortage or inadequacy of something. Choice A is incorrect because a surplus means an excess, which is the opposite of a deficit. Choice C is incorrect as an abundance signifies a large quantity or more than enough of something. Choice D is incorrect as a stable amount does not convey the concept of a deficit.

3. Select the meaning of the quoted word in the sentence. That is an 'ominous' sign.

• A. A good omen
• B. Without deceit
• C. Threatening
• D. Full of thought

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct meaning of 'ominous' is 'threatening' or indicating something bad is about to happen. A is incorrect because 'ominous' does not signify a good omen. B is incorrect as 'ominous' does not relate to deceit. D is incorrect as 'ominous' does not mean 'full of thought.' Therefore, the most suitable interpretation of 'ominous' in the given sentence is 'Threatening.'

4. Which sentence uses the VERB correctly?

• A. I saw you standing in line at the Tilt-A-Whirl at the country fair.
• B. I sang the national anthem before the country fair moto-cross race.
• C. I ran toward the country fair arena with Nibbles the Rabbit.
• D. I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.' 'Wore' is the correct past tense form of 'wear.' Choice A is incorrect as 'seen' should be 'saw,' which is the correct past tense of 'see.' Choice B is incorrect as 'sung' should be 'sang,' the correct past tense of 'sing.' Choice C is incorrect as 'ran' is the correct verb, but the question specifically asks for the correct use of a verb, not just any verb.

5. What does Labile mean?

• A. Stable
• B. Changing rapidly and often
• C. Unchanging
• D. Rarely changing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Labile means something that changes rapidly and often. In this context, 'Stable' (Choice A) is the opposite of labile, 'Unchanging' (Choice C) and 'Rarely changing' (Choice D) do not capture the essence of labile. Labile is specifically used to describe something that is easily altered, constantly changing, or unstable, hence the most suitable choice is 'Changing rapidly and often' (Choice B).
