1. Choose the meaning of the word 'exposure' in the following sentence: 'People with weakened immune systems should avoid exposure to flu.'

• A. Disclosure
• B. Pretense
• C. Contact
• D. Display

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'exposure' is used to refer to coming in contact with the flu virus. Therefore, in this context, the meaning of 'exposure' is related to 'contact.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Disclosure' means revealing information, 'pretense' means pretending, and 'display' means to show or exhibit, none of which captures the intended meaning of 'exposure' in the sentence provided.

2. Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She has completed the project
• B. She has completed the project
• C. She has been completed the project
• D. She has completed the project

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She has completed the project.' The sentence uses the present perfect tense with 'has completed,' which is the correct form of the verb. Choice A is incorrect due to the subject-verb agreement error ('She' requires 'has' instead of 'have'). Choice C is incorrect as it changes the meaning by using the passive voice 'has been completed' instead of the active voice. Choice D is incorrect as 'complete' should be 'completed' to match the present perfect tense.

3. Select the word that means 'take into the body.'

• A. congest
• B. ingest
• C. collect
• D. suppress

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'ingest.' The word 'ingest' means to take into the body, typically referring to food or drink. Choice A, 'congest,' means to block or fill up with fluid. Choice C, 'collect,' means to bring or gather together. Choice D, 'suppress,' means to prevent something from happening or to restrain.

4. 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.

5. What does 'Cease' mean?

• A. Start
• B. Come to an end
• C. Pause
• D. Skip

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Come to an end.' Cease means to stop or come to an end. Choice A, 'Start,' is the opposite of what Cease means. Choice C, 'Pause,' implies a temporary stop, which is not the same as coming to an end. Choice D, 'Skip,' means to omit or bypass, which is different from the meaning of Cease.
