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. What is another word for 'flux'?

• A. Quantity
• B. Inflation
• C. Strength
• D. Discharge

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Discharge.' 'Flux' is a term used to describe the flow or discharge of fluid. Therefore, 'Discharge' is the most appropriate synonym in this context. The other choices are incorrect: A) 'Quantity' refers to an amount, B) 'Inflation' refers to the rise in prices, and C) 'Strength' refers to the power or quality of being strong.

3. What is another word for ADHERE?

• A. Remain intact
• B. Loosen
• C. Hold fast
• D. Position next to

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hold fast.' 'Adhere' means to stick firmly to something, which aligns with 'hold fast.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Remain intact' does not capture the idea of sticking to something, 'loosen' is the opposite of 'adhere,' and 'position next to' does not convey the sense of sticking or clinging.

4. What are the soft spots on the head of a newborn called?

• A. Fistula
• B. Fontanel
• C. Follicle
• D. Fissure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Fontanel. Fontanels are spaces between the bones of a newborn's skull that allow for brain growth and development. The term 'fistula' (choice A) refers to an abnormal passageway between two organs or between an organ and the body surface, not related to newborn soft spots. 'Follicle' (choice C) is a structure in the skin that contains the hair root, not related to the skull. 'Fissure' (choice D) refers to a narrow opening or crack, which is not the term used for the soft spots on a newborn's head.

5. When a child has a stuffy nose, they might find it hard to?

• A. Breathe
• B. Breathing
• C. Breath
• D. Breadth

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Breathe.' When a child has a stuffy nose, the difficulty they experience is related to the action of breathing. 'Breathing' (choice B) is a gerund and doesn't fit the context of the question. 'Breath' (choice C) is a noun, not the correct verb form. 'Breadth' (choice D) refers to the extent or width of something and is unrelated to the child's difficulty due to a stuffy nose.
