1. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. Apply the gel on the gingival margin around the selected teeth using the blunt-tipped applicator included in the package.

• A. Edge
• B. Grease
• C. Incisor
• D. Cavity

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, the word 'margin' refers to the border or edge of the gums around the teeth. The gel is supposed to be applied on the gingival margin, which means on the edge or border of the gums near the selected teeth. Choice B, 'Grease,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the application of gel on the gums. Choice C, 'Incisor,' refers to a type of tooth and is unrelated to the context of applying gel on the gingival margin. Choice D, 'Cavity,' is also unrelated as it refers to a decayed area in a tooth and not the border of the gums.

2. Precipitous is best defined as being ____?

• A. Slow
• B. Swift
• C. Gradual
• D. Delayed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Swift.' Precipitous is used to describe something that is steep, sheer, or done suddenly and without careful consideration. For example, a precipitous drop in the stock market. 'Slow' (Choice A), 'Gradual' (Choice C), and 'Delayed' (Choice D) do not align with the meaning of precipitous and are therefore incorrect.

3. What is the best description for an assembled product in the following sentence? The provisions apply to any “electronic product,” which is defined as any manufactured or assembled product (or component, part, or accessory of such product) that, when in operation, (i) contains or acts as part of an electronic circuit and (ii) emits electronic product radiation.

• A. A product that is collected
• B. A product that is legislated
• C. A product that is put together
• D. A product that is agreed upon

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The best description for an assembled product in the given sentence is "a product that is put together," as assembling refers to the action of putting together various parts or components to create a finished product. The sentence mentions that the provisions apply to any "assembled product" along with components, parts, or accessories of the product. Choice A, 'A product that is collected,' is incorrect as collecting does not imply assembling. Choice B, 'A product that is legislated,' is incorrect as legislation is related to laws and regulations, not the physical process of assembling. Choice D, 'A product that is agreed upon,' is incorrect as agreeing upon a product is unrelated to the physical act of assembling it.

4. Another word for CONSISTENCY is?

• A. Appearance
• B. Volatility
• C. Thickness
• D. Color

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Consistency refers to the quality of staying the same in behavior or level. Thickness is a synonym for consistency as it implies a state of being dense, compact, or solid throughout, which aligns with the idea of staying the same. Conversely, appearance, volatility, and color do not directly relate to the concept of consistency. 'Appearance' refers to how something looks, 'volatility' refers to how easily something changes, and 'color' refers to the hue or shade of something, none of which capture the essence of consistency.

5. What does Incidence mean?

• A. Occurrence
• B. Disappearance
• C. Growth
• D. Repetition

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Occurrence.' Incidence refers to the frequency or occurrence of something happening. Choice B, 'Disappearance,' is incorrect as it means vanishing or ceasing to exist. Choice C, 'Growth,' is incorrect as it refers to an increase in size, number, or development. Choice D, 'Repetition,' is incorrect as it means the action of repeating something that has already been said or written.
