1. What does 'internal' mean?

• A. Near the surface of the body
• B. Located within the body
• C. Outside the body
• D. Far from the body

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Internal means located within the body. When something is described as internal, it refers to being inside the body or contained within the boundaries of an organism. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they describe locations that are either near the surface, outside, or far from the body, respectively, which are not the meanings of 'internal.'

2. Which phrase best completes the sentence: 'Despite _____, he managed to complete the race.'

• A. his injury
• B. his condition
• C. his pain
• D. his fatigue

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: his injury.' In the context of completing a race, an injury would be a significant obstacle to overcome. While choices B, C, and D could also pose challenges, an injury is the most severe hindrance that would make completing a race particularly difficult. His condition, pain, or fatigue may affect performance, but they are not as directly impactful as an injury in this scenario.

3. To which part of the human body does 'superior' refer?

• A. Top
• B. Bottom
• C. Front
• D. Back

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In human anatomy, the term 'superior' refers to a position or structure that is closer to the top of the body or situated above another structure in relation to the standard anatomical position. This means that choice A, 'Top,' is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the anatomical meaning of 'superior.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they refer to different anatomical directions that are not synonymous with 'superior.' 'Bottom' (choice B) refers to 'inferior,' 'Front' (choice C) relates to 'anterior,' and 'Back' (choice D) corresponds to 'posterior.'

4. Which sentence correctly uses a colon?

• A. She had one goal: to win the race.
• B. He needs milk, eggs, and bread.
• C. The meeting is at 3 PM.
• D. She bought milk, eggs, bread.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'She had one goal: to win the race.' This sentence uses a colon to introduce the purpose or explanation that follows. It is a grammatically correct use of a colon. Choice B is incorrect as the colon is not needed after 'needs'; a list of items follows, which does not require a colon. Choice C is a simple statement of time and does not require a colon. Choice D is also incorrect since a colon is not suitable after 'bought'; the items bought are listed without the need for a colon.

5. What is Hydration?

• A. The process of dehydrating
• B. Maintenance of body fluid
• C. Loss of water
• D. Draining fluids

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Hydration refers to the maintenance of body fluids. Choice A is incorrect as it describes the opposite process, dehydration. Choice C is incorrect as it focuses on the result of inadequate hydration rather than the concept itself. Choice D is incorrect as it does not accurately define hydration but rather implies removing fluids.
