• A. shelter
• B. security
• C. guidance
• D. affection

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Children depend on their parents for providing basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter. 'Shelter' refers to the physical protection and housing that parents are responsible for providing to their children. While security, guidance, and affection are also important aspects of parenting, in the context of the question, the most essential need after food and clothing is shelter.

• A. Regimen
• B. Regime
• C. Testament

4. To aspirate fluid, you might use a ___________.

• A. syringe
• B. beaker
• C. test tube

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To aspirate fluid, you would typically use a syringe. A syringe is a device consisting of a tube and a plunger, which allows you to draw fluids such as blood or medication into the tube by pulling back on the plunger. This action is called aspiration, and the syringe is a common tool for this purpose in various medical procedures. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not typically used for aspiration procedures. A beaker is a glass container used for holding liquids, a test tube is used for holding or mixing small quantities of substances, and a flange is a projecting rim or edge used for strength or for attaching to another object.

Rationale: The correct meaning of 'disregard' in the sentence provided is 'to ignore.' When someone disregards something, they are choosing not to pay attention to it or consider it important. Choice A, 'Have no opinion about,' is incorrect as disregard implies actively ignoring something rather than having no opinion. Choice B, 'Pay attention to,' is the opposite of disregard. Choice C, 'Care for,' is also the opposite of disregard, as caring for something implies giving it importance and attention.
