1. Select the word or phrase that means 'offspring' in the sentence: 'Progeny is a term used to describe a person’s ____.'

• A. creditors
• B. offspring
• C. hereditary disease
• D. health status

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'offspring.' Progeny means offspring, so it is the most appropriate term to describe a person's descendants. 'Creditors' (A), 'hereditary disease' (C), and 'health status' (D) do not directly relate to the concept of progeny or offspring in this context.

2. The plumber used a flexible tube to open up the curved pipe.

• A. Solid
• B. Rigid
• C. Flexible
• D. Perforated

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The term 'flexible' accurately describes the type of tube used in the given context. A 'solid' tube would not have been suitable for navigating a curved pipe as it is not pliable. 'Rigid' implies stiffness and inflexibility, making it unsuitable for the task. 'Perforated' means pierced with holes, which is unrelated to the plumber's task of opening up a curved pipe.

3. Select the meaning of the word 'tumult' in the sentence: 'The tumult in the emergency room seemed to last a long time.'

• A. Siren
• B. Distress
• C. Suffering
• D. Commotion

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'tumult' is used to describe a state of confusion, disorder, and chaos in the emergency room. 'Commotion' is the closest synonym to this meaning, making it the correct choice from the list provided. Choice A, 'Siren,' does not capture the meaning of chaos and disorder. Choice B, 'Distress,' refers more to a state of extreme anxiety or suffering rather than the commotion described. Choice C, 'Suffering,' is not the best fit as the word 'tumult' in this context does not specifically imply suffering, but rather a noisy and chaotic situation.

4. 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.

5. What is another word for unruffled?

• A. Concerned
• B. Wholesome
• C. Tedious
• D. Composed

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Unruffled means calm and not agitated. The word 'composed' also means calm and collected, making it the correct synonym in this context. 'Concerned' (choice A) means worried or anxious, 'wholesome' (choice B) means promoting health and well-being, and 'tedious' (choice C) means boring or monotonous, making them all incorrect choices.
