1. What does respite mean?

• A. Rest
• B. Relief
• C. Pain
• D. Burden

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Respite means a period of rest or relief. It refers to a temporary break or relief from something challenging or stressful. It is a time to relax and recharge, providing a sense of ease or comfort rather than pain or burden. 'Rest' (choice A) is related to respite but does not capture the aspect of temporary relief. 'Pain' (choice C) and 'Burden' (choice D) are opposite in meaning to respite, as they signify discomfort and heaviness, respectively, which are not synonymous with the concept of respite.

2. Identify the euphemism in the following passage: 'Today we gather to remember Thomas the Cat. He was the cutest kitten around. Now that he's gone to the giant catnip patch in the sky, he'll be missed by everyone.'

• A. Giant catnip patch in the sky
• B. The cutest kitten around
• C. He'll be missed by everyone
• D. Today we gather to remember

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Giant catnip patch in the sky.' This phrase is a euphemism for death, as it softens the reality of Thomas the Cat's passing. Choice B, 'The cutest kitten around,' is a compliment and not a euphemism. Choice C, 'He'll be missed by everyone,' is a straightforward statement without a euphemistic element. Choice D, 'Today we gather to remember,' is a typical opening statement for a memorial gathering and is not a euphemism.

3. How many liters are in 300 milliliters?

• A. 0.03 liters
• B. 3 liters
• C. 0.3 liters
• D. 0.003 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 300 milliliters ÷ 1000 = 0.3 liters. Choice A, 0.03 liters, is the result of dividing by 10 instead of 1000. Choice B, 3 liters, is the result of multiplying instead of dividing. Choice D, 0.003 liters, is the result of dividing by 1000 twice, which is incorrect.

4. Divide: 5,117 ÷ 31 =

• A. 109 r3
• B. 115 r14
• C. 133 r5
• D. 165 r2

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When dividing 5,117 by 31, the quotient is 165 with a remainder of 2. The correct answer is 165 r2. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct division result. Choice A is close but has the wrong remainder. Choices B and C have incorrect quotients and remainders, making them inaccurate. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 165 r2.

5. What does Distal mean?

• A. Closer to the point of attachment
• B. Further away from the point of attachment
• C. In the middle of the body
• D. On the surface of the skin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Distal means further away from the point of attachment. This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe the location of a body part relative to the point of attachment or the trunk. Choice A is incorrect because it describes the term Proximal, which means closer to the point of attachment. Choice C is incorrect as it describes the term Medial, which means toward the middle of the body. Choice D is incorrect as it describes the term Superficial, which means on or near the surface.
