1. What is another word for flux?

• A. Flowing
• B. Restriction
• C. Absorption
• D. Discharge

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Flux is a term used to describe a discharge, which refers to the action of discharging or releasing something. In medical contexts, flux can specifically refer to a discharge of bodily fluids or matter. 'Flowing' (Choice A) is not a synonym of flux; it implies continuous movement rather than discharge. 'Restriction' (Choice B) and 'Absorption' (Choice C) are unrelated to the concept of flux and do not convey the same meaning.

2. What does the word 'principally' mean?

• A. Mostly
• B. Clearly
• C. In our opinion
• D. Royally

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Mostly.' The word 'principally' means mainly or mostly. It is used to describe something that is primarily or predominantly true in a given context. Choice B, 'Clearly,' is incorrect as it does not reflect the primary meaning of the word. Choice C, 'In our opinion,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of 'principally.' Choice D, 'Royally,' is incorrect as it does not align with the definition of the word.

3. Choose the meaning of the word intact in the following sentence: 'The capsule remains intact even when placed in water.'

• A. Viable
• B. Operational
• C. Tinted
• D. Whole

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'intact' is synonymous with 'whole,' meaning that the capsule remains undamaged or complete even when placed in water. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Viable' means capable of working successfully, 'operational' means in working order, and 'tinted' means slightly colored.

4. In medicine, to be resistant is to be ___________.

• A. unwilling
• B. unaffected by
• C. opposed to
• D. accepting of

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In medicine, when a microorganism or pathogen is described as resistant, it means that it is not affected by the drug or treatment being used against it. Resistance can develop due to various factors, making the pathogen no longer susceptible to the effects of the treatment. Therefore, the correct answer is 'unaffected by.' The other choices are incorrect: 'unwilling' and 'opposed to' do not accurately describe the concept of resistance in medicine, and 'accepting of' is the opposite of what resistance represents in this context.

5. The US __________ most of its silicone chips from Japan and China to stay competitive in the tech market.

• A. Deports
• B. Exports
• C. Reports
• D. Imports

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The US imports most of its silicone chips from Japan and China, indicating that the silicone chips are being brought into the US from these countries. 'Imports' refers to the act of bringing goods or services into one country from another, which accurately describes the scenario described in the question. The other choices are incorrect: 'Deports' means expelling individuals from a country, 'Exports' mean sending goods to another country, and 'Reports' mean providing information or data.
