1. The patient made a ritualistic arranging of the food on his plate. Which word best describes the patient's repetitive behavior?

• A. Formal
• B. Ritualistic
• C. Formalizing
• D. Ritual

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Ritualistic.' This adjective describes actions performed in a habitual or ceremonial manner, which aligns with the context of the patient's repeated arrangement of food. 'Formal' (choice A) does not capture the repetitive nature of the behavior. 'Formalizing' (choice C) refers to the process of making something formal rather than describing repetitive behavior. 'Ritual' (choice D) is a noun and does not best describe the patient's behavior in this context.

2. Which word means TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING BEFORE MAKING A DECISION?

• A. Imply
• B. Transgress
• C. Allay
• D. Ruminate

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'ruminate' means to think deeply about something before making a decision. It specifically implies reflecting or pondering carefully on a matter, indicating a thoughtful consideration process. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Imply' means to suggest indirectly, 'transgress' means to go beyond limits or boundaries, and 'allay' means to diminish or put to rest feelings of fear or suspicion. These words do not convey the concept of thoughtful contemplation before making a decision.

3. What does 'Inferior' mean?

• A. Above
• B. Below
• C. On the side
• D. In the middle

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Below.' Inferior means being in a lower position or rank compared to something else. Choice A ('Above') is incorrect as it represents the opposite of inferior. Choice C ('On the side') and Choice D ('In the middle') are also incorrect as they do not reflect the meaning of inferior, which conveys a sense of being lower in position or rank.

4. Choose the meaning of the word 'yaw' in the following sentence: 'The robotic arm may yaw too much and need adjusting.'

• A. To gape open
• B. To move up and down
• C. To close tightly
• D. To move side to side

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the term 'yaw' refers to a movement where the robotic arm moves side to side. The context suggests that the arm is exhibiting too much of this side-to-side movement and requires adjustment to rectify the issue. Choice A, 'to gape open,' is incorrect as 'yaw' does not imply opening. Choice B, 'to move up and down,' is incorrect as 'yaw' specifically refers to side-to-side movement. Choice C, 'to close tightly,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the movement described in the sentence.

5. Which part of the sentence contains a typographical error?

• A. To a
• B. Very strong
• C. Being
• D. Went from

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The phrase 'Went form' contains a typographical error. It should be 'went from' to indicate the change in condition correctly. Choice A 'To a,' choice B 'Very strong,' and choice C 'Being' are grammatically correct and do not contain any typographical errors in the given sentence.
