1. 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.

2. Nurse Junko and _______ will review the patient’s chart.

• A. She
• B. Them
• C. Me
• D. Him

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: She.' In this sentence, 'She' is the correct pronoun to use as the subject since it refers to Nurse Junko, who is one of the individuals performing the action. 'Them' (choice B), 'Me' (choice C), and 'Him' (choice D) are incorrect as they do not match the subject of the sentence, which is Nurse Junko.

3. What is the term for the lower surface of a structure?

• A. Inferior
• B. Transverse
• C. Dorsal
• D. Ventral

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term for the lower surface of a structure is 'ventral.' 'Ventral' is used in anatomy to describe the front or lower surface of an organism or structure. In this context, 'inferior' (choice A) is not the correct term as it generally refers to something being below or lower in position but not specifically the lower surface of a structure. 'Transverse' (choice B) refers to a crosswise direction, not the lower surface. 'Dorsal' (choice C) is the term used for the upper or back surface of an organism or structure, opposite to the ventral surface.

4. What is the meaning of Regulations?

• A. Rules for Conduct
• B. Official Standards
• C. Personal Guidelines
• D. Suggestions

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Regulations refer to rules or directives established by authorities to govern conduct or actions. Therefore, the correct answer is A - 'Rules for Conduct.' Choice B, 'Official Standards,' is incorrect as regulations go beyond just setting standards to include specific rules for behavior. Choice C, 'Personal Guidelines,' is incorrect as regulations are not individualized but are generally applicable rules. Choice D, 'Suggestions,' is incorrect as regulations are mandatory and carry legal weight, unlike suggestions which are optional and not binding.

5. To critique something is to ______

• A. Dislike
• B. Appraise
• C. Ignore
• D. Condemn

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Appraise.' To critique something means to evaluate or appraise it, providing a detailed analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. Choice A, 'Dislike,' is incorrect as critique doesn't necessarily imply a negative opinion. Choice C, 'Ignore,' is incorrect as critiquing involves actively engaging with the subject. Choice D, 'Condemn,' is incorrect because while a critique can include negative aspects, it is not solely about expressing condemnation.
