1. What does the term 'counterfeit' mean?

• A. Real
• B. Fake
• C. Accurate
• D. Honest

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Fake.' Counterfeit refers to something that is not genuine or a copy made to deceive. Choice A, 'Real,' is incorrect because counterfeit items are not real. Choice C, 'Accurate,' is incorrect as counterfeit implies inaccuracy. Choice D, 'Honest,' is incorrect as counterfeit items are deceptive and not honest.

2. What is the meaning of the word 'derivative' in the following sentence: 'The professor’s lecture seemed to be a bit derivative'?

• A. Unoriginal
• B. Monotonous
• C. Condescending
• D. Long-winded

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'derivative' in this sentence means that the professor's lecture was not original, but instead heavily based on or closely imitating something else. Therefore, the correct meaning is 'unoriginal.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Monotonous' means lacking in variety and boringly repetitive, 'condescending' means showing a superior attitude, and 'long-winded' means using more words than necessary.

3. Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'Her teacher asked her what would she do after she graduated from nursing school.'

• A. She
• B. From
• C. Would
• D. Her

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The phrase 'what would she do' is incorrect because in English questions, the word order for modal verbs like 'would' should be 'she would do' instead of 'would she do'. The correct structure should be 'her teacher asked her what she would do after she graduated from nursing school.' Choices A, B, and D are used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.

4. To which part of the human body does 'superior' refer?

• A. Top
• B. Bottom
• C. Front
• D. Back

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In human anatomy, the term 'superior' refers to a position or structure that is closer to the top of the body or situated above another structure in relation to the standard anatomical position. This means that choice A, 'Top,' is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the anatomical meaning of 'superior.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they refer to different anatomical directions that are not synonymous with 'superior.' 'Bottom' (choice B) refers to 'inferior,' 'Front' (choice C) relates to 'anterior,' and 'Back' (choice D) corresponds to 'posterior.'

5. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'They are'?

• A. Their
• B. They're
• C. The're
• D. No contraction used

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'They are' is 'They're.' 'Their' is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership, not a contraction. 'The're' is not a valid contraction. 'No contraction used' is incorrect as there is a contraction for 'They are,' which is 'They're.'
