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. What does Abstain mean?

• A. To voluntarily refrain from something
• B. To consume something
• C. To eat
• D. To encourage

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'To voluntarily refrain from something.' Abstain means to choose not to do or have something, especially something you like or enjoy. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because abstain does not mean to consume something, to eat, or to encourage. It specifically refers to the act of voluntarily refraining from an action or practice.

3. Select the meaning of the word 'occluded' in the sentence: 'The patient had an occluded artery.'

• A. Obstructed
• B. Open
• C. Broken
• D. Cloudy

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 'Occluded' means blocked or obstructed, making 'Obstructed' the correct answer. In the context of a patient having an occluded artery, it implies that the artery is blocked. The other options, 'Open,' 'Broken,' and 'Cloudy,' do not accurately describe a blocked artery.

4. What does it mean if a theory is obsolete?

• A. Advanced
• B. Outdated
• C. Useful
• D. Innovative

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If a theory is considered obsolete, it means that it is outdated and no longer in current use or practice. Choice A, 'Advanced,' is incorrect as it implies progression rather than obsolescence. Choice C, 'Useful,' is incorrect because an obsolete theory is no longer considered useful due to being outdated. Choice D, 'Innovative,' is incorrect as it suggests newness and originality, which are opposite to being obsolete.

5. A patient who is Querulous might be guilty of __________

• A. Complaining
• B. Sleeping
• C. Shouting
• D. Crying

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Complaining.' Querulous means to be habitually complaining or whining. It is characterized by a tendency to find fault or raise petty objections. This behavior aligns with the definition of being querulous. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the meaning of querulous. Sleeping, shouting, or crying are not behaviors typically associated with being querulous.
