1. Select the meaning of the word in the sentence: 'The dog developed bilateral weakness in its hindquarters.'

• A. Present on two sides
• B. Available for exercise
• C. Affecting the left side
• D. Affecting the right side

Correct answer: A

Rationale: "Bilateral" refers to something that affects or involves both sides of the body, making "Present on two sides" the correct answer. The other options refer to one-sided or unrelated conditions.

2. Which verb form best completes the sentence?

• A. Going
• B. Go
• C. Have
• D. Having

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Having.' In the sentence 'I am looking forward to having my birthday party next week,' 'having' is the correct present participle form of the verb 'have' to indicate an anticipated event. Choice A 'Going' is incorrect as it does not match the structure of the sentence. Choice B 'Go' is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and does not fit grammatically. Choice C 'Have' is incorrect as it is the base form and does not convey the future action in the sentence.

3. Which term best describes a synthetic drug?

• A. man-made
• B. phony
• C. atypical
• D. futile

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A synthetic drug is one that is artificially created in a laboratory setting rather than occurring naturally. The term 'man-made' accurately describes this process. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Phony' means fake or fraudulent, not specifically related to synthetic drugs. 'Atypical' means unusual or not typical, which doesn't directly relate to how synthetic drugs are made. 'Futile' means pointless or ineffective, which is not a characteristic of synthetic drugs.

4. Which word names an infected swelling with liquid inside?

• A. Blast
• B. Gash
• C. Hive
• D. Boil

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A boil is an infected swelling on the skin filled with pus, which is a type of liquid. It is typically caused by a bacterial infection in a hair follicle or oil gland. The other options, blast, gash, and hive, do not specifically describe an infected swelling with liquid inside like a boil does. A 'blast' is a sudden strong movement or gust, 'gash' refers to a long, deep cut or wound, and 'hive' is a skin reaction characterized by itchy welts.

5. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?

• A. Won't
• B. Willn't
• C. Wouldn't
• D. Will'nt

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't'. 'Willn't' (Choice B) is not a standard contraction in English. 'Wouldn't' (Choice C) is the contraction for 'would not,' not 'will not.' 'Will'nt' (Choice D) is not a recognized contraction in English. Therefore, 'won't' is the correct choice as the contraction for 'will not.'
