1. My mother and _____ went shopping for clothes yesterday.

• A. me
• B. I
• C. myself
• D. mine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'I'. In this sentence, 'I' is the subject pronoun that should be used to complete the sentence correctly. 'Me' is an object pronoun, 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun, and 'mine' is a possessive pronoun, none of which are suitable in this context.

2. What is the meaning of verified?

• A. Belittled
• B. Confirmed
• C. Anecdotal
• D. Implicit

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Verified means confirmed or proven to be true. When something is verified, it has been established as factual or accurate through thorough examination or evidence. It is the opposite of belittled, anecdotal, or implicit, as those terms do not convey the sense of confirmation or validation that verified does.

3. A patient who is lethargic may seem _______

• A. Energetic
• B. Exhausted
• C. Restless
• D. Hyperactive

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Exhausted.' Lethargic describes a state of feeling sluggish or lacking energy, which aligns with being exhausted. Choice A, 'Energetic,' is the opposite of lethargic. Choice C, 'Restless,' implies a different state of agitation than lethargy. Choice D, 'Hyperactive,' describes excessive activity, which contrasts with the lethargic state.

4. When directions are convoluted, what is wrong with them?

• A. They are erroneous.
• B. They are incomplete.
• C. They are confusing.
• D. They are unethical.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When directions are convoluted, it means they are intricate, complex, and difficult to understand. This leads to confusion on the part of the recipient trying to follow them. Choice A, 'They are erroneous,' suggests that the directions are incorrect, which might not always be the case. Choice B, 'They are incomplete,' implies that something essential is missing from the directions, which might not be the primary issue with convoluted directions. Choice D, 'They are unethical,' is unrelated to the clarity or complexity of the directions, making it an incorrect choice.

5. Contact dermatitis occurs through the sense of ___________.

• A. smell
• B. taste
• C. touch
• D. sight

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Contact dermatitis occurs through the sense of touch when the skin comes into direct contact with irritants or allergens, leading to an inflammatory reaction. This condition is commonly caused by the skin being in contact with items like certain chemicals, fabrics, plants, or metals, resulting in redness, itching, and sometimes blisters. The other choices (smell, taste, sight) do not relate to the cause of contact dermatitis, which specifically involves the skin's direct contact with irritants or allergens.
