Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'stop.' 'Suppress' means to stop or hold back something. Choice B, 'push up,' is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the meaning of 'suppress.' Choice C, 'release,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of 'suppress.' Choice D, 'strain,' is also incorrect as it does not capture the meaning of 'suppress.'

2. Which of the following is the plural form of the noun 'stimulus'?

• A. Stimulus
• B. Stimuli
• C. Stimulis
• D. Stimula

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Stimuli.' When forming the plural of 'stimulus,' the correct form is 'stimuli.' Choice A, 'Stimulus,' is the singular form, not the plural. Choice C, 'Stimulis,' is an incorrect spelling. Choice D, 'Stimula,' is also an incorrect form for the plural of 'stimulus.' Therefore, 'Stimuli' is the only correct plural form.

3. What is the meaning of Regulations?

• A. Rules for Conduct

Choice B, 'Official Standards,' is incorrect as regulations go beyond just setting standards to include specific rules for behavior. Choice C, 'Personal Guidelines,' is incorrect as regulations are not individualized but are generally applicable rules. Choice D, 'Suggestions,' is incorrect as regulations are mandatory and carry legal weight, unlike suggestions which are optional and not binding.

• B. Argumentative
• C. Cooperative

5. When a body part has atrophied, it has ____?

• A. Enlarged

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because atrophy does not refer to enlargement, swelling, or damage, but rather to wasting away or shrinking.
