1. The healthcare provider asked about the patient's CONDITION.

• A. A place in society
• B. Ability to pay
• C. Whereabouts
• D. Physical state

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In a medical setting, when a healthcare provider asks about a patient's 'condition,' they are typically inquiring about the patient's physical state or health status. This encompasses aspects such as vital signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment progress, and overall well-being. 'A place in society,' 'Ability to pay,' and 'Whereabouts' are unrelated to the patient's health status and are not typically what a healthcare provider would ask about in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Physical state,' as it aligns best with the context of healthcare and patient care.

2. After robbing the bank, _____.

• A. the thief fled
• B. he escaped
• C. they hid
• D. they fled

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After robbing the bank, 'the thief fled' is the correct choice as it logically follows the action of robbing a bank. The singular pronoun 'he' in choice B is not appropriate as 'the thief' is singular. Choices C and D use 'they,' which is a plural pronoun and does not agree with 'the thief,' making them grammatically incorrect.

3. Another word for AFFECT is?

• A. Reduce
• B. Contaminate
• C. Eliminate
• D. Influence

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Correct answer: Another word for AFFECT is INFLUENCE. Affect and influence are synonymous when used in the context of producing an effect on something or someone. Choice A, 'Reduce,' is incorrect as it means to make something smaller or lessen its quantity. Choice B, 'Contaminate,' is incorrect as it means to make something impure or harmful. Choice C, 'Eliminate,' is incorrect as it means to completely remove or get rid of something.

4. 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.

5. What does Ominous mean?

• A. Insignificant
• B. Significantly important and dangerous
• C. Trivial
• D. Harmless

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Ominous means giving the impression that something bad or unpleasant is going to happen; threatening; inauspicious. This choice is correct as it accurately reflects the meaning of the term 'Ominous.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they all suggest a lack of importance, danger, or threat, which is opposite to the actual meaning of 'Ominous.'
