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

Correct answer: C

2. What is the best description for the term septic?

• A. Infected
• B. Odorous
• C. Terminal
• D. Vigorous

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term septic typically refers to something that is infected or contaminated with harmful bacteria or toxins, often used in the context of septic tanks or infections. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Infected.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Odorous means having a smell, terminal means leading to death or the end of something, and vigorous means strong or energetic. These terms do not capture the essence of septic as being infected.

3. What is the meaning of the word 'proscribe'?

• A. anticipate
• B. prevent

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'forbid.' 'Proscribe' means to officially forbid or prohibit something. Choice A, 'anticipate,' is incorrect as it means to expect or predict something. Choice B, 'prevent,' is incorrect as it means to stop something from happening. Choice C, 'defeat,' is incorrect as it means to overcome or win against someone or something, which is not the meaning of 'proscribe.' Therefore, the most appropriate meaning for 'proscribe' among the given choices is to forbid.

This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe the location of a body part relative to the point of attachment or the trunk. Choice A is incorrect because it describes the term Proximal, which means closer to the point of attachment. Choice C is incorrect as it describes the term Medial, which means toward the middle of the body. Choice D is incorrect as it describes the term Superficial, which means on or near the surface.

While security, guidance, and affection are also important aspects of parenting, in the context of the question, the most essential need after food and clothing is shelter.
