1. To critique something is to ______

• A. Dislike
• B. Appraise
• C. Ignore
• D. Condemn

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Appraise.' To critique something means to evaluate or appraise it, providing a detailed analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. Choice A, 'Dislike,' is incorrect as critique doesn't necessarily imply a negative opinion. Choice C, 'Ignore,' is incorrect as critiquing involves actively engaging with the subject. Choice D, 'Condemn,' is incorrect because while a critique can include negative aspects, it is not solely about expressing condemnation.

2. Another word for the gonads might be the ___________.

• A. sperm
• B. vagina
• C. testes
• D. pelvis

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Another word for the gonads would be the testes in males and ovaries in females. The gonads are the primary reproductive organs that produce gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females) and sex hormones. The term 'testes' specifically refers to the male gonads, while 'ovaries' would refer to the female gonads. Therefore, 'testes' is the correct answer as it directly relates to the male gonads, making choices A, B, and D incorrect.

3. Concise is best defined as being ___________.

• A. exact
• B. brief
• C. accurate
• D. assembled

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Concise is best defined as being brief or to the point, expressing much in few words. While accuracy and exactness are important qualities, concise specifically refers to being brief or succinct in communication. Choice A ('exact') is not the best definition, as being precise in language does not necessarily mean being concise. Choice C ('accurate') is also not the best definition, as accuracy relates more to correctness than brevity. Choice D ('assembled') is unrelated to the definition of concise.

4. What is another word for AEGIS?

• A. Relationship
• B. Respectability
• C. Ramifications
• D. Responsibility

Correct answer: B

Rationale: AEGIS is synonymous with protection, sponsorship, or support. Respectability aligns with this notion as it relates to being socially acceptable or esteemed, which can be seen as a form of protection or favorable regard. 'Relationship' (Choice A) does not capture the protective or supportive aspect of AEGIS. 'Ramifications' (Choice C) and 'Responsibility' (Choice D) are not synonyms for AEGIS. They do not convey the sense of protection or support associated with it.

5. Choose the meaning of the word projected in the following sentence: 'Treatment is projected to last three months or more.'

• A. Protruded
• B. Guaranteed
• C. Estimated
• D. Alleged

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, 'projected' is used to indicate an estimation or prediction of the duration of the treatment. Therefore, it aligns closest in meaning to 'estimated.' Choice A, 'Protruded,' means to extend beyond or above a surface, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Choice B, 'Guaranteed,' means to provide assurance, which is not the intended meaning in the sentence. Choice D, 'Alleged,' means to claim without proof, which is not the correct interpretation in this context.
