1. The US __________ most of its silicone chips from Japan and China to stay competitive in the tech market.

• A. Deports
• B. Exports
• C. Reports
• D. Imports

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The US imports most of its silicone chips from Japan and China, indicating that the silicone chips are being brought into the US from these countries. 'Imports' refers to the act of bringing goods or services into one country from another, which accurately describes the scenario described in the question. The other choices are incorrect: 'Deports' means expelling individuals from a country, 'Exports' mean sending goods to another country, and 'Reports' mean providing information or data.

2. Select the meaning of the word 'corpulence' in the sentence: 'The patient’s corpulence made him difficult to handle.'

• A. Belligerence
• B. Gassiness
• C. Wariness
• D. Stoutness

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Stoutness.' The word 'corpulence' refers to the state of being excessively fat or overweight, indicating the patient's stoutness or large size due to excess body weight. Choice A, 'Belligerence,' is incorrect as it means aggressive or hostile behavior, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Choice B, 'Gassiness,' is incorrect as it refers to the state of having excessive gas in the digestive system, which is unrelated to the patient's physical size. Choice C, 'Wariness,' is incorrect as it means cautiousness or being alert, which is not relevant to the patient's physical appearance described in the sentence.

3. What does Vacuous mean?

• A. Empty
• B. Full
• C. Dense
• D. Bright

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Empty.' Vacuous means lacking intelligence, empty-headed, or devoid of substance. Choice B, 'Full,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of vacuous. Choice C, 'Dense,' means closely compacted or stupid, not vacuous. Choice D, 'Bright,' means giving out or reflecting a lot of light, not vacuous.

4. Select the meaning of the word in the sentence: 'The dog developed bilateral weakness in its hindquarters.'

• A. Present on two sides
• B. Available for exercise
• C. Affecting the left side
• D. Affecting the right side

Correct answer: A

Rationale: "Bilateral" refers to something that affects or involves both sides of the body, making "Present on two sides" the correct answer. The other options refer to one-sided or unrelated conditions.

5. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. The patient will need to undergo additional testing.

• A. Fail
• B. Offer
• C. Experience
• D. Succumb

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, the word 'undergo' means to experience or go through a process. When someone undergoes something, it implies they are subjected to it or experiencing it. Therefore, in the sentence provided, 'experience' is the correct meaning. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the idea of going through a process or experiencing something.
