1. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?

• A. Won't
• B. Willn't
• C. Wouldn't
• D. Will'nt

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't'. 'Willn't' (Choice B) is not a standard contraction in English. 'Wouldn't' (Choice C) is the contraction for 'would not,' not 'will not.' 'Will'nt' (Choice D) is not a recognized contraction in English. Therefore, 'won't' is the correct choice as the contraction for 'will not.'

2. Select the word that means 'something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion.'

• A. supplement
• B. complement
• C. detriment
• D. acumen

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'supplement.' A supplement is something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion. Choice B, 'complement,' means something that completes or goes well with something. Choice C, 'detriment,' refers to something that causes harm or damage. Choice D, 'acumen,' means the ability to make good judgments and quick decisions.

3. Select the meaning of the word 'holistic' in the sentence: 'Dr. Grant ignored Mary's particular symptoms, instead administering a holistic treatment.'

• A. insensitive
• B. ignorant
• C. specialized
• D. concerned with the whole

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this context, 'holistic' means concerned with the whole person, considering physical, mental, and social factors, rather than just addressing specific symptoms. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'holistic' does not mean insensitive, ignorant, or specialized in this context.

4. 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.

5. The word STAGGERED means .

• A. Fell
• B. Fumbled
• C. Stumbled
• D. Pirouetted

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'staggered' is associated with unsteadiness or imbalance in movement. Stumbling is the most suitable synonym among the given choices to convey this meaning. 'Fell,' 'fumbled,' and 'pirouetted' do not accurately capture the idea of unsteadiness or imbalance conveyed by the word 'staggered.' 'Fell' generally means coming down from a standing position, 'fumbled' implies clumsiness or mishandling, and 'pirouetted' refers to a specific graceful ballet move, none of which align with the meaning of 'staggered.'
