1. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'My sister gave the chocolate bar to my friend and ___.'

• A. Myself
• B. Me
• C. Us
• D. We

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Me.' In this sentence, 'me' is the correct object pronoun to use after the preposition 'to.' 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun used when the subject and object of the sentence refer to the same person, which is not the case here. 'Us' is the object form of 'we,' which is incorrect in this context. Therefore, 'Me' is the most suitable choice.

2. The student _____ for the final exam.

• A. was preparing
• B. was studying
• C. had studied
• D. is studying

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the given sentence, the past continuous tense 'was studying' is the most appropriate choice to indicate an ongoing action in the past. 'Was preparing' (choice A) implies a completed action rather than an ongoing one. 'Had studied' (choice C) is past perfect tense, which is not suitable for indicating an ongoing action. 'Is studying' (choice D) is present continuous tense and does not fit the past context of the sentence.

3. Choose the meaning of the word 'puerilism' in the following sentence: 'Older patients with dementia may show signs of puerilism.'

• A. Congeniality
• B. Depression
• C. Irritability
• D. Childishness

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Correct! Puerilism refers to behaving in a childish or immature manner. In the context of older patients with dementia showing signs of puerilism, it suggests they may exhibit behaviors associated with acting like a child. Choice A, 'Congeniality,' is incorrect as it means friendliness or pleasantness. Choice B, 'Depression,' is incorrect as it refers to a state of low mood. Choice C, 'Irritability,' is incorrect as it means easily annoyed or provoked, which is different from behaving childishly.

4. What is the meaning of pernicious?

• A. Harmless
• B. Destructive
• C. Infectious
• D. Helpful

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Destructive.' Pernicious means causing great harm or damage. Choice A, 'Harmless,' is the opposite of pernicious. Choice C, 'Infectious,' refers to the ability of a disease to spread. Choice D, 'Helpful,' is also the opposite of pernicious and does not capture the negative connotation associated with the term.

5. Which sentence is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?

• A. Because he did not examine the patient, the healthcare provider prescribed her with the wrong medication.
• B. The nurse decided to bathe the client, then trim his nails.
• C. The dietician, through negligence, made a mistake with the diet plan.
• D. Since the child was feeling ill, the nurse sent him home.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Choice B is incorrect due to the use of 'than' instead of 'then.' The correct word in this context is 'then' to indicate the order of actions. Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct. In choice A, the sentence structure is correct with a clear cause-effect relationship. Choice C is grammatically sound, describing the dietician's mistake. Choice D is also grammatically correct, showing a cause (the child feeling ill) leading to an effect (the nurse sending him home).
