1. What is another word for unruffled?

• A. Concerned
• B. Wholesome
• C. Tedious
• D. Composed

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Unruffled means calm and not agitated. The word 'composed' also means calm and collected, making it the correct synonym in this context. 'Concerned' (choice A) means worried or anxious, 'wholesome' (choice B) means promoting health and well-being, and 'tedious' (choice C) means boring or monotonous, making them all incorrect choices.

2. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'Most children must learn for ___ the importance of good manners.'

• A. Themself
• B. Theirself
• C. Theirselves
• D. Themselves

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'Themselves' is the correct reflexive pronoun to use when referring to 'children' in the plural form. The other options, 'themself,' 'theirself,' and 'theirselves' are not grammatically correct as they do not match the plural subject 'children.'

3. Which bone is shorter in the forearm?

• A. Humerus
• B. Radius
• C. Scapula
• D. Fibula

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Radius. The forearm consists of two long bones: the radius and the ulna. The radius is located on the thumb side of the forearm and is shorter than the ulna, which is on the pinky side. The humerus is the bone located in the upper arm, the scapula is the shoulder blade bone, and the fibula is a bone in the lower leg. Therefore, they are not the shorter bone in the forearm.

4. What is a Contraindication?

• A. A reason to perform an action
• B. A reason something should not be done
• C. A warning of a possible side effect
• D. A reason something is advised

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A contraindication is a specific situation in which a drug, procedure, or treatment should not be used because it may be harmful. Choice A is incorrect because a contraindication advises against performing an action. Choice C is incorrect as it refers to a precaution regarding side effects rather than a reason not to proceed. Choice D is incorrect because a contraindication does not advise the use of something.

5. Before his death at age 82, comedian Rodney Dangerfield's motto was, 'I don't get _____.'

• A. respect
• B. sympathy
• C. attention
• D. care

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: respect.' Rodney Dangerfield was famously known for his catchphrase 'I don't get no respect,' which perfectly aligns with the concept of respect being his motto. The other choices, 'B: sympathy,' 'C: attention,' and 'D: care,' do not accurately capture Dangerfield's well-known persona and catchphrase. Therefore, 'A: respect' is the most suitable answer.
