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 underlined word in the following sentence. He made a posthumous donation to the clinic.

• A. Generous
• B. Immense
• C. Postmortem
• D. Time-honored

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'posthumous' in this sentence means occurring or coming into effect after the person's death. It is related to the word 'postmortem,' which also refers to events or actions happening after death. Given the context of the sentence, the most suitable meaning is 'postmortem.' Choice A, 'generous,' does not accurately reflect the meaning of 'posthumous' in the sentence. Choice B, 'immense,' is unrelated to the concept of something happening after a person's death. Choice D, 'time-honored,' is also not synonymous with 'posthumous' and does not fit the context of the sentence.

3. Select the meaning of the quoted word in the sentence. The doctor instructed the patient to keep his head 'elevated'.

• A. Raised
• B. Turned
• C. Still
• D. Thrown back

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Raised.' In this context, 'elevated' means to be lifted or raised up. The doctor's instruction implies keeping the patient's head in an upward position. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Turned' suggests a change in direction, 'still' means without movement, and 'thrown back' implies a forceful backward motion, none of which capture the meaning of 'elevated' in this scenario.

4. Which of the following is the plural form of the noun 'stimulus'?

• A. Stimulus
• B. Stimuli
• C. Stimulis
• D. Stimula

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Stimuli.' When forming the plural of 'stimulus,' the correct form is 'stimuli.' Choice A, 'Stimulus,' is the singular form, not the plural. Choice C, 'Stimulis,' is an incorrect spelling. Choice D, 'Stimula,' is also an incorrect form for the plural of 'stimulus.' Therefore, 'Stimuli' is the only correct plural form.

5. When people masticate, what do they use?

• A. Fingers
• B. Eyes and ears
• C. Gums and teeth
• D. Heels and toes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When people masticate, they use their gums and teeth to chew and physically break down food into smaller pieces for easier digestion. The process of mastication is essential for proper digestion in the human body. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as fingers, eyes, ears, heels, and toes are not involved in the process of chewing or mastication.
