1. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'They are'?

• A. Their
• B. They're
• C. The're
• D. No contraction used

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'They are' is 'They're.' 'Their' is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership, not a contraction. 'The're' is not a valid contraction. 'No contraction used' is incorrect as there is a contraction for 'They are,' which is 'They're.'

2. What does Audible mean?

• A. Impossible to hear
• B. Able to be heard
• C. Visible
• D. Silent

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Able to be heard.' Audible refers to something that can be heard. Choice A, 'Impossible to hear,' is the opposite of the meaning of audible. Choice C, 'Visible,' is unrelated as it pertains to sight, not hearing. Choice D, 'Silent,' is also not correct as it refers to the absence of sound, which is different from something being able to be heard.

3. What does intact mean?

• A. Damaged
• B. In place, unharmed
• C. Destroyed
• D. Incomplete

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'In place, unharmed.' 'Intact' refers to something that is whole, undamaged, or unharmed. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe states opposite to what intact means. 'Damaged,' 'Destroyed,' and 'Incomplete' all signify a lack of wholeness or harm, which is contrary to the meaning of intact.

4. A treatment that is detrimental is ___________.

• A. risk-free
• B. destructive
• C. agonizing
• D. effective

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A treatment that is detrimental is considered destructive because it causes harm or damage rather than benefiting the individual. In this context, 'detrimental' implies that the treatment has negative effects and is harmful rather than helpful. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because a detrimental treatment is not risk-free, agonizing, or effective; instead, it is harmful and damaging.

5. A patient who is lethargic may seem _____?

• A. Energetic
• B. Exhausted
• C. Confused
• D. Restless

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Exhausted.' Lethargic describes a state of feeling sluggish, tired, and lacking energy, which aligns with being exhausted. Choice A, 'Energetic,' is the opposite of lethargic and does not fit the description. Choice C, 'Confused,' refers to a state of disorientation rather than physical tiredness. Choice D, 'Restless,' implies a state of agitation or inability to relax, which contrasts with the typical presentation of someone who is lethargic.
