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

Correct answer: B

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. What does 'deteriorating' mean?

• A. Improving
• B. Worsening
• C. Staying the same
• D. Fluctuating

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Worsening.' Deteriorating refers to something getting worse over time, not improving (choice A), staying the same (choice C), or fluctuating (choice D).

3. Which cranial bone is the ___________?

• A. partial
• B. parietal
• C. pariah
• D. parhelion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. parietal. The parietal bone is one of the eight bones that form the human skull. It is located near the top of the skull and forms the sides and roof of the cranium. The parietal bones come together at the top of the skull in a structure called the sagittal suture. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not refer to any cranial bone. 'Partial' means incomplete, 'pariah' refers to an outcast or social reject, and 'parhelion' is a bright spot appearing on either side of the sun.

4. Select the meaning of the following phrase. 'A system of procedures to follow.'

• A. Regimen
• B. Regime
• C. Testament
• D. Treatment

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Regimen.' 'Regimen' refers to a prescribed set of procedures or a routine, especially related to health. Choice B, 'Regime,' typically refers to a system of government or a ruling period. Choice C, 'Testament,' means a person's will or a statement of belief. Choice D, 'Treatment,' is a medical care given to a patient.

5. What is another word for elated?

• A. Edified
• B. Confused
• C. Flabbergasted
• D. Delighted

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'elated' means to be ecstatically happy or joyful. Similarly, 'delighted' also means to be extremely pleased or filled with joy. Therefore, 'delighted' is another word that could be used to express the same meaning as 'elated.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Edified' means to instruct or enlighten, 'confused' means to be unclear or bewildered, and 'flabbergasted' means to be astonished or amazed, which do not convey the same meaning as 'elated.'
