1. Replete is best defined as being ___________.

• A. hardy
• B. quiet
• C. full
• D. sad

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Replete means filled to the utmost capacity or complete in every detail. Therefore, the best definition of replete from the given choices is 'full.' Choice A, 'hardy,' does not accurately reflect the meaning of replete. Choice B, 'quiet,' is unrelated to the definition of replete. Choice D, 'sad,' is also not synonymous with the term replete.

2. What does Distal mean?

• A. Closer to the point of attachment
• B. Further away from the point of attachment
• C. In the middle of the body
• D. On the surface of the skin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Distal means further away from the point of attachment. 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.

3. Identify the sentence with a misplaced modifier.

• A. The child found a dollar walking to school
• B. Walking to school, the child found a dollar
• C. The teacher found a note after class
• D. After class, the teacher found a note

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the phrase 'walking to school' seems to modify 'a dollar,' which is illogical. The intended meaning is that the child found the dollar while walking to school. In sentence B, the modifier is correctly placed at the beginning of the sentence, indicating that the child found the dollar while walking to school. Choices C and D do not contain any misplaced modifiers.

4. Everyone thought that was the __________ test of the whole course.

• A. Most easiest
• B. Most easy
• C. Easiest
• D. Easy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Easiest.' The word 'easiest' is the correct superlative form of 'easy,' which is used to compare one item against others in terms of degree. 'Most easiest' and 'most easy' are grammatically incorrect. Choice D, 'Easy,' is incorrect as it is not a superlative form and does not convey a comparison of the test against others in the course.

5. Which of the following sentences uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She was going to the store
• B. She was going to the store
• C. She has gone to the store
• D. She gone to the store

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She was going to the store.' This sentence uses the correct form of the past continuous tense, which is appropriate for describing an action in progress in the past. Choice A is the only option that uses the correct verb form. Choice C uses the present perfect tense, which is not suitable for describing a past action in progress. Choice D is incorrect as it lacks the auxiliary verb 'has' in the sentence structure.
