1. The doctor said he wanted to try other things before attempting an __________ procedure.

• A. Internal
• B. Painful
• C. Experimental
• D. Expensive

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The term 'invasive' refers to a procedure that involves entering the body, usually with a medical instrument or device. In the context provided, the doctor wants to try other non-invasive or less invasive options before resorting to an invasive procedure. 'Experimental' means untested or not yet proven to be effective, which aligns with the idea of exploring alternative methods before considering a more invasive approach. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not relate to the context of trying alternative procedures that are different from invasive ones.

2. It is required that he _____ payment immediately.

• A. make
• B. sends
• C. sent
• D. deliver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'make.' In this context, 'make' is the correct verb to use with 'payment.' The sentence structure requires a base form of the verb after 'required that.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'sends,' 'sent,' and 'deliver' do not match the structure needed in this sentence.

3. What is a device?

• A. An idea or concept
• B. A tool or piece of equipment
• C. A small part of a larger structure
• D. An accessory for fashion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A device is defined as a tool or piece of equipment designed to serve a specific purpose. It is used to perform a particular function or task. An idea or concept (Choice A) may lead to the creation of a device, but they are not devices themselves. Choice C, referring to a small part of a larger structure, does not encompass the general definition of a device which implies standalone functionality. Choice D, an accessory for fashion, is entirely unrelated to the usual understanding of a device, which focuses on functionality rather than aesthetics.

4. Choose the meaning of the word 'contusions' in the following sentence: 'Contusions or scratches may be treated on-site.'

• A. Breaks
• B. Disorientation
• C. Bruises
• D. Abrasions

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Bruises.' In the context of the sentence provided, 'contusions' refers to injuries that cause discoloration or bruising of the skin without breaking the skin. The word 'contusions' is synonymous with bruises, not breaks (choice A), disorientation (choice B), or abrasions (choice D). Therefore, in the sentence, contusions or scratches are mentioned as potential injuries that may require treatment on-site.

5. A UTI is likely to involve the ___________.

• A. bones
• B. throat
• C. stomach
• D. bladder

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) is likely to involve the bladder. A urinary tract infection is an infection in any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The most common type of UTI is a bladder infection where bacteria enter the bladder and cause inflammation and infection. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because a UTI specifically affects the urinary tract system and not the bones, throat, or stomach.
