1. What does 'Obsolete' mean?

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• B. Outdated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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Outdated.' Obsolete refers to something that is outdated or no longer in use. 'Innovative' (choice A) means introducing new ideas or methods; 'Effective' (choice C) means successful in producing a desired result; 'Advanced' (choice D) means far on or ahead in development or progress. Therefore, 'Outdated' is the most appropriate antonym for 'Obsolete.'

2. Identify the incomplete sentence.

• A. While they were sleeping.
• B. The dog slept.
• C. The sun rises in the east.
• D. They went home.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'While they were sleeping.' This is an incomplete sentence as it lacks a main clause. A complete sentence should have both a subject and a predicate to express a complete thought. In this case, the subordinating conjunction 'while' introduces a dependent clause that needs to be connected to an independent clause to form a complete sentence. Choices B, C, and D are complete sentences as they each contain a subject and a predicate, expressing a complete thought.

3. What is another word for ABSTAIN?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Refrain is another word for abstain, as both words mean to resist or hold oneself back from doing something. In contrast, indulge (choice B) means to allow oneself to enjoy something freely, making it the opposite of abstain. Adhere (choice C) means to stick to or follow closely, while eliminate (choice D) means to completely remove or get rid of something. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 'Refrain,' which is a synonym for 'abstain.'

4. Which part of the sentence contains a typographical error?

• A. To a
• B. Very strong
• C. Being
• D. Went from

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The phrase 'Went form' contains a typographical error. It should be 'went from' to indicate the change in condition correctly. Choice A 'To a,' choice B 'Very strong,' and choice C 'Being' are grammatically correct and do not contain any typographical errors in the given sentence.

5. What is a diagnostic test?

• A. One that locates a cure
• B. One that looks for a cause
• C. One that examines the skin
• D. One that is performed on doctors

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A diagnostic test is a medical test or procedure performed to identify the cause of a health problem, disease, or condition. It helps healthcare providers make accurate diagnoses and determine appropriate treatments for patients. Choice A is incorrect because a diagnostic test does not locate a cure but rather aims to identify the cause of a health issue. Choice C is incorrect as a diagnostic test is not specifically for examining the skin but can involve various types of tests on different parts of the body. Choice D is incorrect as a diagnostic test is not performed on doctors but on patients to diagnose their health conditions.
