1. The car that he had seen at the Ford dealer was the one that he finally decided to _____.

• A. buy
• B. rent
• C. lease
• D. sell

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'buy' because it is the appropriate verb for purchasing a car. In this context, the person saw a car at the Ford dealer and decided to buy it, indicating ownership. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 'rent,' 'lease,' and 'sell' do not fit the context of deciding to acquire a car for ownership. Renting and leasing involve temporary possession, while selling involves transferring ownership to another party.

2. What does the quoted word 'equilibrium' mean in the following sentence?

• A. Ability to speak
• B. Sense of taste
• C. Sense of balance
• D. Ability to swallow

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Sense of balance.' In the sentence provided, 'equilibrium' refers to a state of physical balance or stability. The client lost his balance when he woke up, indicating a loss of stability or equilibrium. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'equilibrium' specifically refers to balance, not the ability to speak, sense of taste, or ability to swallow.

3. Choose the meaning of the word 'sanguinary' in the following sentence: 'Surgery is often a sanguinary procedure.'

• A. Hopeful or cheerful
• B. Involving bloodshed
• C. Difficult and protracted
• D. Tricky and sensitive

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'sanguinary' is derived from the Latin word 'sanguinarius,' meaning bloodthirsty or bloodshed. In the context of the sentence, 'sanguinary' is used to indicate that surgery is a procedure that involves bloodshed. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A ('Hopeful or cheerful') is incorrect because 'sanguinary' does not convey a positive or cheerful meaning. Choice C ('Difficult and protracted') is incorrect as 'sanguinary' specifically relates to blood or bloodshed, not difficulty or prolongation. Choice D ('Tricky and sensitive') is incorrect as 'sanguinary' does not imply trickiness or sensitivity but rather the presence of blood or bloodshed.

4. What does the term 'counterfeit' mean?

• A. Real
• B. Fake
• C. Accurate
• D. Honest

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Fake.' Counterfeit refers to something that is not genuine or a copy made to deceive. Choice A, 'Real,' is incorrect because counterfeit items are not real. Choice C, 'Accurate,' is incorrect as counterfeit implies inaccuracy. Choice D, 'Honest,' is incorrect as counterfeit items are deceptive and not honest.

5. The Ramifications of a course of treatment are that treatment's ______

• A. Effectiveness
• B. Consequences
• C. Complications
• D. Outcomes

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Consequences.' Ramifications refer to the consequences of a particular course of action or treatment. In this context, 'Effectiveness' (Choice A) is not the most appropriate term as ramifications are more about the results or outcomes beyond just effectiveness. 'Complications' (Choice C) are adverse effects or issues that arise, not necessarily the overall consequences. 'Outcomes' (Choice D) is close in meaning but not as synonymous with ramifications as 'Consequences' is.
