1. Choose the meaning of the word 'contusions' in the following sentence: 'Contusions or scratches may be treated on-site.'

• A. Breaks
• B. Disorientation
• C. Bruises
• D. Abrasions

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Bruises.' In the context of the sentence provided, 'contusions' refers to injuries that cause discoloration or bruising of the skin without breaking the skin. The word 'contusions' is synonymous with bruises, not breaks (choice A), disorientation (choice B), or abrasions (choice D). Therefore, in the sentence, contusions or scratches are mentioned as potential injuries that may require treatment on-site.

2. Select the word that means 'on both sides.'

• A. bilateral
• B. insufficient
• C. bicuspid
• D. congruent

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'bilateral.' 'Bilateral' means having two sides or affecting both sides. 'Insufficient' means not enough or inadequate, 'bicuspid' refers to a two-pointed tooth, and 'congruent' means in agreement or harmony. Therefore, 'bilateral' is the only word among the choices that specifically relates to being on both sides.

3. What does the word BILATERAL mean?

• A. 2-sided
• B. Straight
• C. Symmetrical
• D. On one side

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'bilateral' means having or relating to two sides. It is often used to describe something that occurs on both sides, such as bilateral symmetry in which an object is symmetrical on two sides. Choice B, 'Straight,' does not capture the meaning of bilateral. Choice C, 'Symmetrical,' while related, does not specifically convey the idea of something pertaining to two sides. Choice D, 'On one side,' is the opposite of what bilateral means.

4. The US __________ most of its silicone chips from Japan and China to stay competitive in the tech market.

• A. Deports

'Imports' refers to the act of bringing goods or services into one country from another, which accurately describes the scenario described in the question. The other choices are incorrect: 'Deports' means expelling individuals from a country, 'Exports' mean sending goods to another country, and 'Reports' mean providing information or data.
