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. Identify the sentence with a misplaced modifier.

• A. The child found a dollar walking to school
• B. Walking to school, the child found a dollar
• C. The teacher found a note after class
• D. After class, the teacher found a note

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the phrase 'walking to school' seems to modify 'a dollar,' which is illogical. The intended meaning is that the child found the dollar while walking to school. In sentence B, the modifier is correctly placed at the beginning of the sentence, indicating that the child found the dollar while walking to school. Choices C and D do not contain any misplaced modifiers.

3. Select the word that means 'take into the body.'

• A. congest
• B. ingest
• C. collect
• D. suppress

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'ingest.' The word 'ingest' means to take into the body, typically referring to food or drink. Choice A, 'congest,' means to block or fill up with fluid. Choice C, 'collect,' means to bring or gather together. Choice D, 'suppress,' means to prevent something from happening or to restrain.

4. Everyone thought that was the __________ test of the whole course.

• A. Most easiest
• B. Most easy
• C. Easiest
• D. Easy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Easiest.' The word 'easiest' is the correct superlative form of 'easy,' which is used to compare one item against others in terms of degree. 'Most easiest' and 'most easy' are grammatically incorrect. Choice D, 'Easy,' is incorrect as it is not a superlative form and does not convey a comparison of the test against others in the course.

5. Which of the following sentences is written in the passive voice?

• A. The homework was completed by the student
• B. The student completed the homework
• C. The teacher is grading the papers
• D. The store opens at 9 AM

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The homework was completed by the student.' This sentence is in the passive voice because the subject (homework) is being acted upon by the student. In passive voice constructions, the subject receives the action rather than performing it. Choices B, C, and D are in active voice where the subject performs the action. In choice B, 'The student completed the homework,' the subject (student) is the one performing the action of completing the homework.
