1. What does intact mean?

• A. Damaged
• B. In place, unharmed
• C. Destroyed
• D. Incomplete

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'In place, unharmed.' 'Intact' refers to something that is whole, undamaged, or unharmed. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe states opposite to what intact means. 'Damaged,' 'Destroyed,' and 'Incomplete' all signify a lack of wholeness or harm, which is contrary to the meaning of intact.

2. Another word for UNDER OBSERVATION is?

• A. Cognition
• B. Isolation
• C. Surveillance
• D. Assessment

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Surveillance,' which means 'under observation.' 'Cognition' (A) refers to mental processes, 'Isolation' (B) means being separated from others, and 'Assessment' (D) is the evaluation of something, none of which directly relate to being observed.

3. What is the correct pronoun to complete the sentence?

• A. Her
• B. Hers
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'her' is the correct choice because it serves as the object of the preposition 'at.' In this sentence, 'looked at' requires an object pronoun, making 'her' the appropriate choice. Option B, 'Hers,' indicates possession, which is not needed in this context. Options C and D are not pronouns and do not fit grammatically in the sentence.

4. What is the meaning of SOPORIFIC?

• A. Causing excitement
• B. Inducing sleep
• C. Inhibiting pain
• D. Relieving pain

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Inducing sleep.' The term 'soporific' refers to something that causes sleepiness or drowsiness, leading to sleep. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of soporific. Choice A is the opposite since it means causing excitement, not drowsiness. Choices C and D are related to pain relief, which is not the primary association with the term soporific.

5. Choose the meaning of the word 'sanguinary' in the following sentence: 'Surgery is often a sanguinary procedure.'

• A. Hopeful or cheerful
• B. Involving bloodshed
• C. Difficult and protracted
• D. Tricky and sensitive

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'sanguinary' is derived from the Latin word 'sanguinarius,' meaning bloodthirsty or bloodshed. In the context of the sentence, 'sanguinary' is used to indicate that surgery is a procedure that involves bloodshed. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A ('Hopeful or cheerful') is incorrect because 'sanguinary' does not convey a positive or cheerful meaning. Choice C ('Difficult and protracted') is incorrect as 'sanguinary' specifically relates to blood or bloodshed, not difficulty or prolongation. Choice D ('Tricky and sensitive') is incorrect as 'sanguinary' does not imply trickiness or sensitivity but rather the presence of blood or bloodshed.
