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 What does it mean if a theory is obsolete?

• A. Advanced
• B. Outdated
• C. Useful
• D. Innovative

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If a theory is considered obsolete, it means that it is outdated and no longer in current use or practice. 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 Choice C, 'Useful,' is incorrect because an obsolete theory is no longer considered useful due to being outdated.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.

2. What is the meaning of Regulations?

• A. Rules for Conduct
• B. Official Standards
• C. Personal Guidelines
• D. Suggestions

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Regulations refer to rules or directives established by authorities to govern conduct or actions. Therefore, the correct answer is A - 'Rules for Conduct.' Choice B, 'Official Standards,' is incorrect as regulations go beyond just setting standards to include specific rules for behavior. Choice C, 'Personal Guidelines,' is incorrect as regulations are not individualized but are generally applicable rules. Choice D, 'Suggestions,' is incorrect as regulations are mandatory and carry legal weight, unlike suggestions which are optional and not binding.

3. What does oral mean?

• A. Through the skin
• B. Given through or affecting the mouth
• C. Injected
• D. Absorbed through digestion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Given through or affecting the mouth.' Oral medications are those that are taken by mouth. Choice A is incorrect as 'Through the skin' refers to something being absorbed through the skin, not through the mouth. Choice C, 'Injected,' is incorrect as oral administration does not involve injection but rather ingestion. Choice D, 'Absorbed through digestion,' is partially correct in that oral medications are indeed absorbed through the digestive system, but the term 'oral' specifically refers to the mouth in this context.

4. If you are an assiduous worker, you are probably ____?

• A. Lazy
• B. Industrious
• C. Inconsistent
• D. Procrastinating

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. If someone is described as assiduous, it means they are diligent, hardworking, and persistent in their efforts. This aligns with the trait of being 'Industrious.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because being lazy, inconsistent, or procrastinating are the opposite characteristics of someone who is assiduous.

5. What does 'deteriorating' mean?

• A. Improving
• B. Worsening
• C. Staying the same
• D. Fluctuating

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Worsening.' Deteriorating refers to something getting worse over time, not improving (choice A), staying the same (choice C), or fluctuating (choice D).
