1. Select the meaning of the word 'intact' in the sentence: 'It is important that the bandage remain intact.'

• A. Dry
• B. Whole
• C. Uncovered
• D. Secure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Whole'. In this context, 'intact' means undisturbed or whole, referring to the bandage being complete and not damaged. Choice A, 'Dry', is incorrect as it does not reflect the meaning of 'intact' in this sentence. Choice C, 'Uncovered', is also incorrect as 'intact' does not imply uncovered but rather complete. Choice D, 'Secure', is not the best fit as 'intact' in this context emphasizes the undamaged or whole nature of the bandage.

2. What does 'abrupt' mean?

• A. Gradual
• B. Sudden
• C. Delayed
• D. Relaxed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Sudden.' Abrupt means something that occurs suddenly, without warning or preparation. It is the opposite of gradual, delayed, or relaxed, which imply a slower or more gentle pace of change or action.

3. What does Dilute mean?

• A. To concentrate
• B. To make a liquid less concentrated
• C. To solidify
• D. To evaporate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct definition of dilute is to make a liquid less concentrated. When a substance is diluted, it means it has been mixed with another substance to reduce its strength or concentration. Option A, 'To concentrate,' is the opposite of dilute. Option C, 'To solidify,' means to make or become hard or solid, which is unrelated to diluting a liquid. Option D, 'To evaporate,' means to change from a liquid to a vapor, also unrelated to diluting a liquid. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

4. Select the sentence in which 'legal' is used as an adjective.

• A. He is a legal resident of the United States
• B. This is a legal action
• C. That action was legal
• D. He acted in a legal way

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'He is a legal resident of the United States.' In this sentence, 'legal' is used to describe the type of resident he is, making it an adjective. The other choices use 'legal' as part of a noun phrase or an adverbial phrase, not as an adjective. Choice B uses 'legal' to describe the type of action, making it a noun adjunct. Choice C uses 'legal' to describe the legality of the action, making it part of an adjectival phrase. Choice D uses 'legal' to describe the manner in which he acted, making it an adverb.

5. The hospital accepts a certain quota of 'indigent' patients.

• A. Uninjured
• B. Apathetic
• C. Resentful
• D. Impoverished

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'indigent' refers to people who are poor or impoverished, lacking financial resources. Therefore, the correct choice is D, 'Impoverished.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'indigent.' Choice A, 'Uninjured,' is unrelated to financial status. Choice B, 'Apathetic,' means showing no interest or concern, which is irrelevant. Choice C, 'Resentful,' means feeling bitterness or indignation, which is also unrelated to poverty.
