1. What is the best description of the term Gravid?

• A. Thin
• B. Expecting a child
• C. Infected
• D. Healing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Gravid' means being pregnant or expecting a child. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A, 'Thin,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the term Gravid. Choice C, 'Infected,' is also incorrect as it is not a relevant description of the term. Choice D, 'Healing,' is unrelated to the term Gravid and is therefore incorrect.

2. Which word is not spelled correctly in the sentence: 'The physician thought it was unnecessary to explain the procedure.'

• A. physician
• B. unnecessary
• C. explain
• D. procedure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'unnecessary' is misspelled as 'unecessary' in the sentence. The correct spelling should have double 'n' as in 'unnecessary'. Choice A, C, and D are spelled correctly in the sentence provided.

3. Choose the meaning of the word 'indigent' in the following sentence: The hospital accepts a certain quota of indigent patients.

• A. Impoverished
• B. Resentful
• C. Apathetic
• D. Uninjured

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'indigent' means impoverished or needy. The sentence conveys that the hospital takes in a specific number of financially disadvantaged patients. Choice B, 'Resentful,' does not align with the context of the sentence. Choice C, 'Apathetic,' does not describe the financial status of the patients. Choice D, 'Uninjured,' is unrelated to the meaning of 'indigent' in the sentence.

4. Which adjective best completes the sentence?

• A. More greater
• B. Great
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Best' is the correct choice because it conveys the highest quality or degree in comparison, which is appropriate in this context. The sentence is discussing the opinion of coffee experts about a particular coffee blend, indicating that it is the most superior among the options. Choices A, B, and D are grammatically incorrect or redundant. 'More greater' is incorrect due to the redundant use of 'more' and 'greater.' 'Great' is a comparative form that does not fit the superlative context required. 'More greatest' is incorrect due to the unnecessary use of 'more' alongside 'greatest,' which is already a superlative form.

5. Which of the following sentences is INCOMPLETE?

• A. We sat out the next dance.
• B. While the band played.
• C. The band played a nice slow song.
• D. Everyone enjoyed the dance.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'While the band played.' This is an incomplete sentence as it lacks a main clause. The other choices (A, C, D) are complete sentences with a subject and a predicate, conveying a complete thought.
