1. To vivify someone is to ___________.

• A. belittle him
• B. animate him
• C. alarm him
• D. spoil him

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To vivify someone means to give life or animation to them. It involves revitalizing or energizing someone, rather than belittling, alarming, or spoiling them. Therefore, the correct answer is "animate him" as it is the most suitable synonym for vivify in this context. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the meaning of vivify.

2. Someone who is FRUSTRATED/ANNOYED is?

• A. Exacerbated
• B. Transient
• C. Lithe
• D. Terse

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'exacerbated' means to make a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling worse. If someone is frustrated or annoyed, they are likely feeling worse due to a particular situation or circumstance. Choice B, 'transient,' means temporary or short-lived, which does not directly relate to the feeling of being frustrated or annoyed. Choice C, 'lithe,' means thin, supple, and graceful, which is not synonymous with being frustrated or annoyed. Choice D, 'terse,' means brief and to the point, which is unrelated to the context of feeling frustrated or annoyed.

3. Choose the meaning of the word 'disintegrates' in the following sentence: 'It disintegrates in the mouth within seconds after placement on the tongue, allowing its contents to be swallowed with or without water.'

• A. Evaporates
• B. Fizzes
• C. Deviates
• D. Fragments

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'disintegrates' means to break apart into smaller parts or fragments. In the sentence, it describes the process of the substance breaking down in the mouth. Therefore, the most appropriate meaning is 'Fragments.' 'Evaporates' means to turn into vapor, 'Fizzes' refers to the production of bubbles, and 'Deviates' means to depart from the norm, making them incorrect choices in the context of the sentence.

4. Which sentence correctly uses the word 'affect'?

• A. The medication had no effect on the patient's symptoms
• B. The noise did not affect his sleep
• C. The bright light will affect your eyes
• D. The cold weather did not affect her mood

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct use of 'affect' is to show influence or make a difference. In this context, 'The noise did not affect his sleep' is the correct usage as noise can impact one's ability to sleep. Choice A is incorrect as 'affect' is commonly confused with 'effect.' Choice C is incorrect as 'affect' is not typically used to refer to the impact of light on eyes. Choice D is incorrect as 'affect' is not typically used to describe the impact of weather on mood.

5. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. The interns observed the contour of the patient’s rash.

• A. Shape
• B. Answers
• C. Amount
• D. Extension

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, the word 'contour' refers to the outline or shape of the patient's rash. It indicates the specific form or structure of the rash as observed by the interns. 'Answers,' 'Amount,' and 'Extension' are incorrect choices because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'contour' in this sentence.
