1. What is the meaning of 'repugnant'?

• A. destructive
• B. selective
• C. collective
• D. offensive

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'offensive.' Repugnant means offensive or disgusting. In this context, 'destructive,' 'selective,' and 'collective' do not accurately capture the meaning of 'repugnant,' making them incorrect choices. 'Offensive' is the most appropriate term to describe something that is repugnant.

2. Someone who is FRUSTRATED/ANNOYED is?

• A. Exacerbated
• B. Transient
• C. Lithe
• D. Terse

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'exacerbated' means to make a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling worse. If someone is frustrated or annoyed, they are likely feeling worse due to a particular situation or circumstance. Choice B, 'transient,' means temporary or short-lived, which does not directly relate to the feeling of being frustrated or annoyed. Choice C, 'lithe,' means thin, supple, and graceful, which is not synonymous with being frustrated or annoyed. Choice D, 'terse,' means brief and to the point, which is unrelated to the context of feeling frustrated or annoyed.

3. What is another word for deluge?

• A. Earthquake
• B. Dimness
• C. Downpour
• D. Chasm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A "deluge" is a sudden and heavy rainfall or flood, so the word that is most closely related in meaning to "deluge" is "downpour," which also refers to a heavy and sustained rainfall. The other choices, "earthquake," "dimness," and "chasm," do not relate to a flooding or heavy rainfall situation.

4. Choose the meaning of the word 'quarantine' in the following sentence: 'The patients are under quarantine until further notice.'

• A. A specialist's care
• B. Experimental drug therapy
• C. Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit
• D. Confinement away from the general population

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'quarantine' is used to convey the idea that the patients are isolated or separated from the general population. Quarantine is often implemented to prevent the spread of diseases or infections, and in this context, it implies confinement or isolation to ensure the safety of others. The other choices are incorrect because 'A' refers to specialized medical attention, 'B' refers to a specific medical treatment, and 'C' implies being held against one's will in a rehab facility, none of which capture the meaning of 'quarantine' as used in the sentence provided.

5. Did the interns contravene the doctor's orders?

• A. Follow
• B. Disregard
• C. Exceed
• D. Respect

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Disregard.' Contravene means to violate or disregard rules or orders. In this context, the question is asking whether the interns went against or disobeyed the doctor's orders. Choices 'A: Follow,' 'C: Exceed,' and 'D: Respect' do not align with the meaning of contravene in this context. Following, exceeding, or respecting the doctor's orders would mean the interns did not contravene them.
