1. 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.

2. Select the meaning of the word 'PRN' in the sentence: 'The nurse gave the patient a PRN medication.'

• A. Pinpoint
• B. Relocate
• C. Eradicate
• D. Reduce

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'PRN' is a medical abbreviation that stands for 'pro re nata,' meaning 'as needed.' In this context, the medication is given to reduce symptoms as they arise. Choice A, 'Pinpoint,' does not align with the meaning of 'PRN.' Choices B and C, 'Relocate' and 'Eradicate,' are unrelated to the concept of 'as needed' medications.

3. What is another word for deluge?

• A. Earthquake
• B. Dimness
• C. Downpour
• D. Chasm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A "deluge" is a sudden and heavy rainfall or flood, so the word that is most closely related in meaning to "deluge" is "downpour," which also refers to a heavy and sustained rainfall. The other choices, "earthquake," "dimness," and "chasm," do not relate to a flooding or heavy rainfall situation.

4. What does incorrigible mean?

• A. Curable
• B. Incurable
• C. Chronic
• D. Temporary

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Incurable.' Incorrigible means something or someone that cannot be corrected or cured. It signifies a persistent behavior or trait that is unlikely to change. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because incorrigible specifically denotes something that is unable to be corrected, not curable, chronic, or temporary.

5. Which phrase best completes the sentence: 'Despite _____, he managed to complete the race.'

• A. his injury
• B. his condition
• C. his pain
• D. his fatigue

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: his injury.' In the context of completing a race, an injury would be a significant obstacle to overcome. While choices B, C, and D could also pose challenges, an injury is the most severe hindrance that would make completing a race particularly difficult. His condition, pain, or fatigue may affect performance, but they are not as directly impactful as an injury in this scenario.
