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. A surgeon who is adroit might be described as ______.

• A. Careless
• B. Skillful
• C. Inexperienced
• D. Lazy

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'adroit' means skillful or proficient. A surgeon who is adroit would be highly skilled and proficient in their work. Therefore, the most appropriate description for a surgeon who is adroit is 'skillful.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the positive attribute associated with being adroit.

3. Select the correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure: 'The nursing ___ put the Band- ___ on the wound to ___ the nurse.'

• A. aid, aide, aide
• B. aide, aid, aid
• C. aid, aide, aid
• D. aide, aid, aide

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure is 'aide, aid, aid.' 'Aide' refers to a person who assists (nursing aide), while 'aid' refers to help or assistance (Band-aid and aid the nurse). Therefore, the sequence 'aide, aid, aid' correctly completes the sentence. Choices A, C, and D have the incorrect order of words that do not fit the sentence context.

4. The number of people _____ from other counties to the United States has caused a shift in unemployment in the textile market.

• A. Emigrating
• B. Immigrating
• C. Migrating
• D. Emigrated

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Immigrating' because it refers to people coming to live permanently in a foreign country. 'Emigrating' (Choice A) means leaving one's own country to settle permanently in another, which does not fit the context of people coming into the United States. 'Migrating' (Choice C) is a general term for moving from one place to another without emphasizing the aspect of settling in a new country. 'Emigrated' (Choice D) is the past tense of emigrate and does not convey the ongoing action of people moving to the United States.

5. If they _____ that the weather was going to be so bad, they wouldn't have gone to the beach.

• A. knew
• B. had known
• C. knew
• D. could have known

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: had known.' In this conditional sentence, the past perfect tense is required to indicate that knowing about the weather should have happened before going to the beach. 'Knew' (choice A and C) is in the simple past tense, which doesn't convey the sequence of events accurately. 'Could have known' (choice D) is incorrect as it implies a possibility of knowing in the past, but it doesn't fit the context of the sentence where the emphasis is on prior knowledge before going to the beach.
