1. What is the definition of Bilateral?

• A. Occurring on one side
• B. Present on two sides
• C. Occurring in random areas
• D. Not occurring

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct definition of bilateral is something that is present on two sides. This term is commonly used in medical contexts to describe conditions or procedures that affect or involve both sides of a particular part of the body. Choice A, 'Occurring on one side,' is incorrect because bilateral refers to both sides, not just one. Choice C, 'Occurring in random areas,' is incorrect as bilateral specifically means on two sides, not random areas. Choice D, 'Not occurring,' is also incorrect as bilateral refers to something present on two sides, not the absence of occurrence.

2. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. The night nursing staff is accountable for those records.

• A. Receptive
• B. Notorious
• C. Responsible
• D. Preoccupied with

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, the word 'accountable' means responsible. The night nursing staff is responsible for those records, meaning they are the ones who are answerable and expected to ensure proper care and maintenance of the records. Choice A, 'Receptive,' does not fit the context as it means willing to listen or accept information. Choice B, 'Notorious,' means famous or well-known, usually for something negative, which is not the intended meaning here. Choice D, 'Preoccupied with,' means to be engrossed or absorbed in something, which does not convey the meaning of being responsible as intended in the sentence.

3. It is required that he _____ payment immediately.

• A. make
• B. sends
• C. sent
• D. deliver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'make.' In this context, 'make' is the correct verb to use with 'payment.' The sentence structure requires a base form of the verb after 'required that.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'sends,' 'sent,' and 'deliver' do not match the structure needed in this sentence.

4. Everyone thought that was the __________ test of the whole course.

• A. Most easiest
• B. Most easy
• C. Easiest
• D. Easy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Easiest.' The word 'easiest' is the correct superlative form of 'easy,' which is used to compare one item against others in terms of degree. 'Most easiest' and 'most easy' are grammatically incorrect. Choice D, 'Easy,' is incorrect as it is not a superlative form and does not convey a comparison of the test against others in the course.

5. What is the definition of adverse?

• A. Desirable
• B. Undesired, possibly harmful
• C. Beneficial
• D. Neutral

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'adverse' is used to describe something that is unfavorable, unwanted, or potentially harmful. This makes choice B, 'Undesired, possibly harmful,' the correct definition. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe positive (desirable, beneficial) or neutral characteristics, which are the opposite of what 'adverse' means.
