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. What does Torpid mean?

• A. Energetic
• B. Sluggish
• C. Fast
• D. Slow

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Sluggish.' Torpid means being slow or inactive. Choice A, 'Energetic,' is the opposite of torpid. Choice C, 'Fast,' is not synonymous with torpid as it refers to quickness rather than sluggishness. Choice D, 'Slow,' is somewhat related to torpid but does not fully capture the inactive aspect of the term.

3. Nurse Junko and _______ will review the patient’s chart.

• A. She
• B. Them
• C. Me
• D. Him

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: She.' In this sentence, 'She' is the correct pronoun to use as the subject since it refers to Nurse Junko, who is one of the individuals performing the action. 'Them' (choice B), 'Me' (choice C), and 'Him' (choice D) are incorrect as they do not match the subject of the sentence, which is Nurse Junko.

4. Select the meaning of the word 'residual' in the sentence. Something that remains is referred to as __________.

• A. Resident
• B. Residual
• C. Resistance
• D. Resin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Residual.' In the given sentence, 'residual' is used to describe something that is left or remaining. 'Residual' fits the context perfectly as it aligns with the definition of what remains. The other choices are incorrect: A) 'Resident' refers to a person living in a specific place, C) 'Resistance' is the act of opposing or withstanding something, and D) 'Resin' is a sticky substance produced by plants.

5. I will call you when I _____ back from visiting my sister.

• A. get
• B. will get
• C. return
• D. came

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'get' because it appropriately indicates a future action in the sentence. In English, when 'when' is used in future time clauses, the following verb should be in the present simple tense to indicate a future event, making 'get' the correct choice. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Will get' is redundant after 'when' in this context, 'return' is not the appropriate tense for a future action, and 'came' is in the past tense, which is not suitable for a future event.
