1. What does Lateral mean?

• A. Near the midline
• B. Away from the midline
• C. At the top of the body
• D. On the side

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'On the side.' Lateral means situated on the side or away from the midline. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because lateral specifically refers to a position that is situated away from the midline, not near it, at the top of the body, or on the side.

2. What is another word for ABSTAIN?

• A. Refrain
• B. Indulge
• C. Adhere
• D. Eliminate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Refrain.' 'Refrain' is synonymous with 'abstain,' meaning to hold oneself back. The other choices are incorrect. 'Indulge' means to allow oneself to enjoy the pleasure of something, 'Adhere' means to stick to or follow, and 'Eliminate' means to completely remove or get rid of.

3. What is the word part placed before a word to change its meaning?

• A. Prefix
• B. Affix
• C. Suffix
• D. Vocab

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A prefix is the correct answer. A prefix is a word part attached at the beginning of a word to modify its root word, changing the definition or grammatical function of the word. Examples of prefixes include "un-" in "unhappy," "re-" in "redo," and "pre-" in "preview." Choice B, "Affix," is incorrect because while a prefix is a type of affix, not all affixes are prefixes. Choice C, "Suffix," is incorrect as a suffix is a word part added at the end of a word to change its meaning. Choice D, "Vocab," is incorrect as it refers to vocabulary or words related to a particular subject rather than a word part placed before a word.

4. What does it mean when an apartment is advertised as being furnished?

• A. It is equipped with articles of furniture
• B. It has a high level of decor
• C. It includes utilities like water and electricity
• D. It is fully renovated

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'It is equipped with articles of furniture,' correctly defines a furnished apartment. When an apartment is advertised as furnished, it means that it comes with essential furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and other necessary items. Choice B is incorrect because being furnished does not necessarily relate to the decor level of the apartment. Choice C is incorrect as utilities like water and electricity are not typically included in the term 'furnished.' Choice D is also incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment is fully renovated, which refers to structural improvements rather than furniture.

5. 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.
