1. What is the best description for the abbreviation EEG?

• A. A test of brain activity
• B. A medical service
• C. A heartbeat monitor
• D. A specialist in dentistry

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'A test of brain activity.' EEG stands for Electroencephalogram, a test used to evaluate the electrical activity in the brain. It helps diagnose conditions like epilepsy, seizures, and other brain disorders. Choice B, 'A medical service,' is too broad and does not specifically refer to EEG. Choice C, 'A heartbeat monitor,' is incorrect as EEG does not monitor the heart. Choice D, 'A specialist in dentistry,' is unrelated to the abbreviation EEG.

2. He had already finished studying at a(n) _____ when he was called to join the army.

• A. university
• B. academy
• C. college
• D. institute

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the context provided, the correct answer is 'university.' The term 'university' is used to refer to higher education institutions that offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. While 'academy,' 'college,' and 'institute' are also types of educational institutions, 'university' is the most fitting choice here as it best aligns with the idea of completing higher education before joining the army.

3. Another word for ASSURED is?

• A. Confirmed the truth of
• B. Sympathized with
• C. Denied the truth of
• D. Made known to

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'assured' means to have made certain or confident of something. 'Confirmed' is a synonym that aligns with this meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 'Confirmed the truth of.' Choice B, 'Sympathized with,' does not have a similar meaning to 'assured.' Choice C, 'Denied the truth of,' is the opposite in meaning to 'assured.' Choice D, 'Made known to,' does not convey the same sense of certainty as 'assured.'

• B. His symptoms are concerning and need to be addressed immediately
• C. He should follow the treatment plan strictly to get better
• D. I think he is exaggerating his pain to get attention

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'I am also new to this town, so I understand how lost he feels here,' demonstrates empathy towards the patient by showing the ability to relate to and understand the patient's feelings and experiences. Empathy involves understanding and sharing the feelings of another person, which is evident in this statement as the individual acknowledges and connects with the patient's emotional state. Choice B focuses on the urgency of addressing symptoms but lacks the emotional connection present in an empathetic response. Choice C emphasizes following a treatment plan without addressing the patient's emotional state. Choice D displays a lack of empathy by suggesting that the patient is exaggerating their pain for attention, showing a judgmental rather than understanding attitude.

Choice A is incorrect as 'lethargic' is the opposite of 'active.' Choice C is incorrect as 'lethargic' implies a lack of energy. Choice D is incorrect as 'lethargic' signifies drowsiness, the opposite of being 'wide awake.' The correct answer is B.
