Correct answer: B

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. What is the meaning of Collusion?

• A. Cooperation
• B. Conspiracy
• C. Separation
• D. Rejection

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Conspiracy.' Collusion refers to a secret agreement or conspiracy, often for deceitful or illegal purposes. Choice A, 'Cooperation,' is incorrect as collusion implies a deceptive or dishonest agreement, not a genuine cooperation. Choice C, 'Separation,' is incorrect as it denotes the opposite of collusion, which involves working together secretly. Choice D, 'Rejection,' is unrelated to collusion, which involves secret cooperation for deceptive purposes.

4. What does Distal mean?

• A. Closer to the point of attachment
• B. Further away from the point of attachment

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Distal means further away from the point of attachment. This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe the location of a body part relative to the point of attachment or the trunk. Choice A is incorrect because it describes the term Proximal, which means closer to the point of attachment. Choice C is incorrect as it describes the term Medial, which means toward the middle of the body. Choice D is incorrect as it describes the term Superficial, which means on or near the surface.

5. Choose the meaning of the word 'disregard' in the following sentence: 'He chose to disregard the warnings.'

Rationale: The correct meaning of 'disregard' in the sentence provided is 'to ignore.' When someone disregards something, they are choosing not to pay attention to it or consider it important. Choice A, 'Have no opinion about,' is incorrect as disregard implies actively ignoring something rather than having no opinion. Choice B, 'Pay attention to,' is the opposite of disregard. Choice C, 'Care for,' is also the opposite of disregard, as caring for something implies giving it importance and attention.
