1. What is the best description for an assembled product in the following sentence? The provisions apply to any “electronic product,” which is defined as any manufactured or assembled product (or component, part, or accessory of such product) that, when in operation, (i) contains or acts as part of an electronic circuit and (ii) emits electronic product radiation.

• A. A product that is collected
• B. A product that is legislated
• C. A product that is put together
• D. A product that is agreed upon

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The best description for an assembled product in the given sentence is "a product that is put together," as assembling refers to the action of putting together various parts or components to create a finished product. The sentence mentions that the provisions apply to any "assembled product" along with components, parts, or accessories of the product. Choice A, 'A product that is collected,' is incorrect as collecting does not imply assembling. Choice B, 'A product that is legislated,' is incorrect as legislation is related to laws and regulations, not the physical process of assembling. Choice D, 'A product that is agreed upon,' is incorrect as agreeing upon a product is unrelated to the physical act of assembling it.

2. Her mother asked her what she would do after she _____.

• A. graduated
• B. completes
• C. finishes
• D. finished

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'graduated.' In reported speech, the verb tense often shifts back, so 'graduated' (past tense) is the appropriate choice here. 'Completes' (present tense), 'finishes' (present tense), and 'finished' (past tense) are incorrect as they do not match the reported speech context where the verb tense typically shifts back. Therefore, 'graduated' is the most suitable choice to complete the sentence.

3. Which sentence uses 'etc.' grammatically correct?

• A. The list included diseases such as flu, measles, etc.
• B. The list included flu, measles, etc., and other items.
• C. The list included flu, measles, etc., diseases, and other items.
• D. The list included, flu, etc., measles, diseases, and other items.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct usage of 'etc.' should follow a comma when concluding a list. Option A correctly places 'etc.' at the end of a logical list with a comma before it, following grammatical rules. In option B, a comma should be placed after 'etc.' before introducing 'and other items.' Options C and D either misplace commas or incorrectly use 'etc.' within the list.

4. Choose the meaning of the word 'contusions' in the following sentence: 'Contusions or scratches may be treated on-site.'

• A. Breaks
• B. Disorientation
• C. Bruises
• D. Abrasions

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Bruises.' In the context of the sentence provided, 'contusions' refers to injuries that cause discoloration or bruising of the skin without breaking the skin. The word 'contusions' is synonymous with bruises, not breaks (choice A), disorientation (choice B), or abrasions (choice D). Therefore, in the sentence, contusions or scratches are mentioned as potential injuries that may require treatment on-site.

5. 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.
