1. Which cranial bone is the ___________?

• A. partial
• B. parietal
• C. pariah
• D. parhelion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. parietal. The parietal bone is one of the eight bones that form the human skull. It is located near the top of the skull and forms the sides and roof of the cranium. The parietal bones come together at the top of the skull in a structure called the sagittal suture. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not refer to any cranial bone. 'Partial' means incomplete, 'pariah' refers to an outcast or social reject, and 'parhelion' is a bright spot appearing on either side of the sun.

2. It is required that he _____ payment immediately.

• A. make
• B. sends
• C. sent
• D. deliver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'make.' In this context, 'make' is the correct verb to use with 'payment.' The sentence structure requires a base form of the verb after 'required that.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'sends,' 'sent,' and 'deliver' do not match the structure needed in this sentence.

3. 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.

4. What does 'Fatal' mean?

• A. Resulting in injury
• B. Resulting in death
• C. Dangerous
• D. Treatable

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Resulting in death.' The term 'Fatal' specifically means resulting in death. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Fatal' does not refer to resulting in injury, being dangerous, or being treatable.

5. Where is the posterior part of the body located?

• A. Topmost
• B. Lowermost
• C. Front
• D. Back

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term 'posterior' refers to the back of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Back.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Topmost' and 'Lowermost' do not specifically refer to the back of the body, and 'Front' is the opposite of 'Back.'
