1. What is another word for AEGIS?

• A. Relationship
• B. Respectability
• C. Ramifications
• D. Responsibility

Correct answer: B

Rationale: AEGIS is synonymous with protection, sponsorship, or support. Respectability aligns with this notion as it relates to being socially acceptable or esteemed, which can be seen as a form of protection or favorable regard. 'Relationship' (Choice A) does not capture the protective or supportive aspect of AEGIS. 'Ramifications' (Choice C) and 'Responsibility' (Choice D) are not synonyms for AEGIS. They do not convey the sense of protection or support associated with it.

2. A truculent patient is ______?

• A. Passive
• B. Argumentative
• C. Cooperative
• D. Friendly

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A truculent patient is characterized by being argumentative or hostile. Therefore, the correct answer is 'B: Argumentative.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because a truculent patient is not passive, cooperative, or friendly.

3. What is the correct subjunctive verb to complete the sentence? 'If I ___ you, I'd leave now.'

• A. Were
• B. Is
• C. Be
• D. Was

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Were.' In the subjunctive mood, we use 'were' for hypothetical or unreal situations. The sentence should read, 'If I were you, I'd leave now.' Choice B ('Is') is incorrect because it is not in the subjunctive form. Choice C ('Be') is incorrect as it is the base form and not the correct form for the subjunctive mood. Choice D ('Was') is incorrect as it is the past tense form and not used in the subjunctive mood.

4. He tried to remember the names of all the people who were there that night.

• A. that
• B. who
• C. which
• D. whom

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'who' is the correct relative pronoun to refer to people. 'That' is used for things, 'which' is used for animals or things, and 'whom' is an object pronoun, not needed in this sentence. Therefore, 'who' is the most appropriate choice.

5. What is another word for antidote?

• A. Purity
• B. Habitat
• C. Remedy
• D. Venom

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Corrected Question: What is another word for antidote? Rationale: An antidote is a substance that can counteract the effects of poison or disease. The term 'remedy' is often used synonymously with antidote to indicate a solution or cure for a particular problem or ailment. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the concept of antidote. 'Purity' refers to cleanliness or being free from contaminants, 'Habitat' is the natural environment where an organism lives, and 'Venom' is a poisonous substance typically injected by animals like snakes or insects.
