1. Choose the meaning of the word vent in the following sentence: 'A tube is used to vent the gases to the outside.'

• A. Block
• B. Trade
• C. Emit
• D. Inhale

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'vent' means to allow the gases to escape or be emitted to the outside. 'Block' is incorrect because it means to obstruct or close off. 'Trade' is incorrect as it refers to the exchange of goods or services. 'Inhale' is incorrect as it means to breathe in, which is the opposite of venting gases out.

2. What does the word 'rapport' mean in the sentence: 'The nurses and teenage aides developed a quick rapport'?

• A. Performance
• B. Narrative
• C. Manner
• D. Bond

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Bond.' In this context, 'rapport' refers to a close and harmonious relationship or connection between people. The sentence suggests that a bond or connection developed quickly between the nurses and teenage aides. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'rapport' does not relate to performance, narrative, or manner in this context.

3. 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.

4. What does 'internal' mean?

• A. Near the surface of the body
• B. Located within the body
• C. Outside the body
• D. Far from the body

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Internal means located within the body. When something is described as internal, it refers to being inside the body or contained within the boundaries of an organism. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they describe locations that are either near the surface, outside, or far from the body, respectively, which are not the meanings of 'internal.'

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.
