1. What is the meaning of Gender?

• A. A medical condition
• B. Sex of an individual
• C. Emotional state
• D. A psychological term

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gender refers to the biological and social characteristics that define male and female identities. It is not a medical condition, emotional state, or psychological term. The term 'gender' specifically relates to the sex of an individual, distinguishing between traits associated with being male or female. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

2. Select the word that means 'open.'

• A. inverted
• B. patent
• C. convent
• D. converted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Patent' is the correct answer as it means something that is open or unobstructed. Choices A, C, and D do not convey the meaning of 'open.' 'Inverted' means turned inside out or upside down, 'convent' refers to a religious community, and 'converted' means changed into a different form or function.

3. 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.'

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

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'anterior' in anatomy refers to the front part of the body. It is used to describe the position of structures relative to the front of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Front' (choice B). Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'anterior' specifically pertains to the front, not the back, side, or top of the body.

5. What does the word Trepidation mean?

• A. Fear
• B. Misgivings
• C. Confidence
• D. Doubt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Misgivings'. Trepidation is defined as a feeling of fear or anxiety about something that may happen. Choice A ('Fear') is too broad and does not capture the specific sense of unease that trepidation conveys. Choice C ('Confidence') is the opposite of what trepidation represents. Choice D ('Doubt') is related to uncertainty but does not fully encapsulate the sense of fear and anxiety associated with trepidation.
