1. 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.

2. Which word is not spelled correctly in the sentence: 'The physician thought it was unnecessary to explain the procedure.'

• A. physician
• B. unnecessary
• C. explain
• D. procedure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'unnecessary' is misspelled as 'unecessary' in the sentence. The correct spelling should have double 'n' as in 'unnecessary'. Choice A, C, and D are spelled correctly in the sentence provided.

3. Long before his death, Pablo Picasso became one of the most important artists in history.

• A. become
• B. became
• C. been
• D. had become

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Became.' In this sentence, we need the simple past tense 'became' to describe the action that occurred in the past. 'Become' (choice A) is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and doesn't fit the sentence structure. 'Been' (choice C) is incorrect as it is the past participle and doesn't match the sentence context. 'Had become' (choice D) is unnecessary as the sentence doesn't require the past perfect tense.

4. Choose the meaning of the word 'quarantine' in the following sentence: 'The patients are under quarantine until further notice.'

• A. A specialist's care
• B. Experimental drug therapy
• C. Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit
• D. Confinement away from the general population

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'quarantine' is used to convey the idea that the patients are isolated or separated from the general population. Quarantine is often implemented to prevent the spread of diseases or infections, and in this context, it implies confinement or isolation to ensure the safety of others. The other choices are incorrect because 'A' refers to specialized medical attention, 'B' refers to a specific medical treatment, and 'C' implies being held against one's will in a rehab facility, none of which capture the meaning of 'quarantine' as used in the sentence provided.

5. What is another word for ADHERE?

• A. Remain intact
• B. Loosen
• C. Hold fast
• D. Position next to

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hold fast.' 'Adhere' means to stick firmly to something, which aligns with 'hold fast.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Remain intact' does not capture the idea of sticking to something, 'loosen' is the opposite of 'adhere,' and 'position next to' does not convey the sense of sticking or clinging.
