1. What is the best description for the term euphoric?

• A. Disease-ridden
• B. High-spirited
• C. Pretentious
• D. Understated

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term euphoric is best described as high-spirited. Euphoria is a feeling of intense happiness and excitement, so high-spirited accurately conveys the meaning of euphoric. Choices A, C, and D do not capture the essence of euphoria. 'Disease-ridden' has a negative connotation and is unrelated to euphoric. 'Pretentious' means attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed, which is not synonymous with euphoric. 'Understated' means presented or expressed in a subtle and effective way, which is not the meaning of euphoric.

2. An apartment is advertised as being furnished. What does the sentence mean?

• A. It is equipped with articles
• B. It has just been repainted
• C. The first month’s rent must be paid in advance
• D. The utility bills are included in the rental cost

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'It is equipped with articles.' In real estate terms, when an apartment is advertised as 'furnished', it means that the apartment comes equipped with furniture and other necessary items. This choice directly reflects the meaning of a furnished apartment. The other choices are incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment has just been repainted (B), requires the first month’s rent to be paid in advance (C), or includes utility bills in the rental cost (D).

3. What does the word Trepidation mean?

• A. Fear
• B. Misgivings
• C. Confidence
• D. Doubt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Misgivings'. Trepidation is defined as a feeling of fear or anxiety about something that may happen. Choice A ('Fear') is too broad and does not capture the specific sense of unease that trepidation conveys. Choice C ('Confidence') is the opposite of what trepidation represents. Choice D ('Doubt') is related to uncertainty but does not fully encapsulate the sense of fear and anxiety associated with trepidation.

4. Which sentence is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?

• A. Because he did not examine the patient, the healthcare provider prescribed her with the wrong medication.
• B. The nurse decided to bathe the client, then trim his nails.
• C. The dietician, through negligence, made a mistake with the diet plan.
• D. Since the child was feeling ill, the nurse sent him home.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Choice B is incorrect due to the use of 'than' instead of 'then.' The correct word in this context is 'then' to indicate the order of actions. Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct. In choice A, the sentence structure is correct with a clear cause-effect relationship. Choice C is grammatically sound, describing the dietician's mistake. Choice D is also grammatically correct, showing a cause (the child feeling ill) leading to an effect (the nurse sending him home).

5. What is another word for antidote?

• A. Purity
• B. Habitat
• C. Remedy
• D. Venom

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Corrected Question: What is another word for antidote? Rationale: An antidote is a substance that can counteract the effects of poison or disease. The term 'remedy' is often used synonymously with antidote to indicate a solution or cure for a particular problem or ailment. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the concept of antidote. 'Purity' refers to cleanliness or being free from contaminants, 'Habitat' is the natural environment where an organism lives, and 'Venom' is a poisonous substance typically injected by animals like snakes or insects.
