1. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'Most children must learn for ___ the importance of good manners.'

• A. Themself
• B. Theirself
• C. Theirselves
• D. Themselves

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'Themselves' is the correct reflexive pronoun to use when referring to 'children' in the plural form. The other options, 'themself,' 'theirself,' and 'theirselves' are not grammatically correct as they do not match the plural subject 'children.'

2. What does 'Ingest' mean?

• A. To chew
• B. To swallow for digestion
• C. To spit out
• D. To vomit

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To swallow for digestion.' Ingest means to take food, drink, or another substance into the body by swallowing it. Choice A, 'To chew,' is incorrect as chewing is the act of breaking down food with the teeth. Choice C, 'To spit out,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of ingesting, involving expelling something from the mouth. Choice D, 'To vomit,' is also incorrect as vomiting is forcibly expelling the contents of the stomach through the mouth, which is the opposite of ingesting.

3. What does oral mean?

• A. Through the skin
• B. Given through or affecting the mouth
• C. Injected
• D. Absorbed through digestion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Given through or affecting the mouth.' Oral medications are those that are taken by mouth. Choice A is incorrect as 'Through the skin' refers to something being absorbed through the skin, not through the mouth. Choice C, 'Injected,' is incorrect as oral administration does not involve injection but rather ingestion. Choice D, 'Absorbed through digestion,' is partially correct in that oral medications are indeed absorbed through the digestive system, but the term 'oral' specifically refers to the mouth in this context.

4. Place the four words in alphabetical order.

• A. Assemble, assembled, assembling, assembly
• B. Assembly, assemble, assembled, assembling
• C. Assemble, assembly, assembling, assembled
• D. Assemble, assembly, assembled, assembling

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In alphabetical order, 'Assemble, assembly, assembling, assembled' is correct. The alphabetical order is determined by the first letter of each word. The correct sequence starts with 'Assemble,' followed by 'assembly,' then 'assembling,' and finally 'assembled.' Choice A, B, and D do not follow the correct alphabetical order as the words are not arranged alphabetically.

5. What is the definition of Bilateral?

• A. Occurring on one side
• B. Present on two sides
• C. Occurring in random areas
• D. Not occurring

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct definition of bilateral is something that is present on two sides. This term is commonly used in medical contexts to describe conditions or procedures that affect or involve both sides of a particular part of the body. Choice A, 'Occurring on one side,' is incorrect because bilateral refers to both sides, not just one. Choice C, 'Occurring in random areas,' is incorrect as bilateral specifically means on two sides, not random areas. Choice D, 'Not occurring,' is also incorrect as bilateral refers to something present on two sides, not the absence of occurrence.
