1. What does 'Contract' mean?

• A. To expand
• B. To draw together
• C. To elongate
• D. To dissolve

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To draw together.' Contract means to reduce in size or draw together. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest actions opposite to what contracting means. A: 'To expand,' C: 'To elongate,' and D: 'To dissolve' all indicate actions that involve increasing in size or breaking apart, which are the opposite of what contracting means.

2. Select the meaning of the word 'holistic' in the sentence: 'Dr. Grant ignored Mary's particular symptoms, instead administering a holistic treatment.'

• A. insensitive
• B. ignorant

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this context, 'holistic' means concerned with the whole person, considering physical, mental, and social factors, rather than just addressing specific symptoms. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'holistic' does not mean insensitive, ignorant, or specialized in this context.

3. What does it mean if a theory is obsolete?

• A. Advanced

Choice A, 'Advanced,' is incorrect as it implies progression rather than obsolescence. Choice C, 'Useful,' is incorrect because an obsolete theory is no longer considered useful due to being outdated. Choice D, 'Innovative,' is incorrect as it suggests newness and originality, which are opposite to being obsolete.

Impugn specifically involves questioning the accuracy or validity of a statement or argument, making choice C the correct answer.

5. If someone is disseminating information, what are they doing?

• A. Hiding it

Choice A, 'Hiding it,' is incorrect as disseminating involves making information known, not concealing it. Choice C, 'Destroying it,' is incorrect as disseminating means to distribute, not to eliminate. Choice D, 'Withholding it,' is incorrect because withholding information means keeping it back rather than sharing it openly.
