1. What is the meaning of 'Exemplary'?

• A. Disappointing
• B. Praiseworthy
• C. Ordinary
• D. Unacceptable

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Praiseworthy.' Exemplary is used to describe something that is commendable, outstanding, or worthy of praise. Therefore, the meaning of 'Exemplary' is praiseworthy, not disappointing, ordinary, or unacceptable. Choice A is incorrect because 'Disappointing' is the opposite of 'Exemplary.' Choice C is incorrect as 'Ordinary' does not reflect the exceptional nature of 'Exemplary.' Choice D is incorrect as 'Unacceptable' is the opposite meaning of 'Exemplary.'

2. The patient made a ritual of arranging the food on his plate. Which word best describes the patient's behavior of arranging the food on his plate?

• A. Formal
• B. Ritualistic
• C. Formalizing
• D. Ritual

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'ritualistic' is an adjective that describes actions or behaviors performed in a habitual or symbolic manner, often resembling a ritual. In this context, it best describes the patient's behavior of repeatedly and meticulously arranging food on the plate. 'Formal' (Choice A) does not capture the habitual or symbolic aspect of the behavior. 'Formalizing' (Choice C) is a verb form and does not describe the behavior itself. 'Ritual' (Choice D) is a noun and does not fit as well here since the question is asking for an adjective to describe the behavior.

3. _____ are very ancient people.

• A. Chinese
• B. The Greeks
• C. Romans
• D. Egyptians

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Chinese.' In the context of ancient civilizations, 'Chinese' is appropriately used to refer to a very ancient culture like the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC) or the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 BC). The other choices ('The Greeks,' 'Romans,' and 'Egyptians') are also ancient civilizations, but they are not the best fit in the given sentence as they do not match the description of 'very ancient people.' The Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians are ancient too, but 'very ancient people' specifically points towards Chinese civilization during its early periods. Therefore, 'Chinese' is the most suitable option.

4. What does Depth mean?

• A. The thickness of an object
• B. Downward measurement from a surface
• C. The length of a surface
• D. The area between two points

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Depth refers to the distance or downward measurement from a surface. It is not the thickness of an object (Choice A), as thickness is the measure of how thick or thin an object is, not necessarily related to depth. Additionally, it is not the length of a surface (Choice C) because length typically refers to the longest dimension of an object rather than its depth. Finally, it is not the area between two points (Choice D) because area is a measure of the space within a boundary defined by points, while depth specifically refers to the vertical distance below a surface.

5. A tuberculin skin test should be read within 24 hours of administration.

• A. of
• B. before
• C. after
• D. during

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct preposition to use after 'within 24 hours' in this context is 'of.' Therefore, the tuberculin skin test should be read within 24 hours of administration. The other choices ('before,' 'after,' 'during') do not correctly convey the relationship between the timing of reading the test and the administration.
