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 'Contour' mean?

• A. Flat area
• B. Shape or outline of something
• C. Volume of a structure
• D. Height of a structure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Contour' specifically refers to the shape or outline of something. In art and geography, contours are used to represent the outline or shape of an object or landform, making choice B the correct definition. Choice A, 'Flat area,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of contour which is about the shape or outline. Choice C, 'Volume of a structure,' is unrelated to the concept of contour. Choice D, 'Height of a structure,' is also incorrect as contour is more about the shape and not the height of an object.

3. Select the word that means 'take into the body.'

• A. congest

Choice C, 'collect,' means to bring or gather together. Choice D, 'suppress,' means to prevent something from happening or to restrain.

4. If a treatment mitigates symptoms, the symptoms become ______.

• A. Worse
• B. Less severe
• C. Unchanged

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Less severe.' When a treatment mitigates symptoms, it means that it reduces the severity or impact of those symptoms. Therefore, the symptoms would become less severe after the treatment. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because mitigating symptoms does not make them worse, unchanged, or unbearable; instead, it helps alleviate or reduce their intensity.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convey the relationship of possessing similar meanings between words.
