1. Which is not mentioned as a possible result of being spanked in childhood?

• A. Aggression
• B. Coercive sex
• C. Delinquency
• D. Incontinence

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Incontinence.' The passage discusses the negative consequences of spanking in childhood, such as increased aggression, delinquent behavior, and future sexual problems like coercive sex. However, incontinence is not mentioned as a possible result of being spanked. Therefore, it is the correct choice. Choices A, B, and C are all supported by the passage, making them incorrect answers.

2. Which of the following words or phrases fits best in the following sentence? If you ever ___________ at County Medical, you would know how grueling a shift there can be.

• A. work
• B. are working
• C. had worked
• D. working

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'work' (option A) is the most suitable choice for the sentence. The sentence is in the simple present tense and is discussing a general scenario or experience. The present simple tense is used to describe habits, routines, or general truths. Therefore, the word 'work' best fits in this context to indicate a general experience at County Medical without specifying a particular timeframe. Choices B, C, and D create incorrect tenses or imply specific past actions, which do not align with the intended meaning of the sentence.

3. What is the meaning of Hygiene?

• A. General cleanliness and good health practices
• B. Measures contributing to cleanliness and good health
• C. A measure of dietary health
• D. A type of infection

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Measures contributing to cleanliness and good health.' Hygiene encompasses practices that promote cleanliness and overall good health, such as washing hands, maintaining personal hygiene, and keeping the surroundings clean. Choice A has been revised to 'General cleanliness and good health practices' to better reflect the concept of hygiene. Hygiene goes beyond just cleanliness to include specific measures for maintaining health. Choice C is incorrect as hygiene is not specifically related to dietary health; it is more about cleanliness and health practices. Choice D is incorrect as hygiene is not a type of infection; it is about preventing infections through proper practices.

4. Which part of the brain is most posterior?

• A. Frontal lobe
• B. Parietal lobe
• C. Temporal lobe
• D. Occipital lobe

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The occipital lobe is located at the most posterior part of the brain, towards the back of the head. It is primarily responsible for processing visual information from the eyes and plays a crucial role in vision-related functions. The frontal lobe (Choice A) is located at the front of the brain and is responsible for functions such as reasoning and planning. The parietal lobe (Choice B) is located in the middle part of the brain and plays a role in sensory information processing. The temporal lobe (Choice C) is located on the sides of the brain and is involved in processing auditory information and memory. Therefore, the occipital lobe (Choice D) is the correct answer as it is the most posterior region of the brain.

5. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? Everyone in the fraternity found the four boys' pranks sophomoric.

• A. Everyone
• B. fraternity
• C. boys'
• D. sophomoric

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'boys'' should be spelled as 'boys' in this context. The correct possessive form of the plural noun 'boys' does not require an apostrophe before the final S, which indicates possession. In this sentence, the intent is to show that the pranks belong to the four boys collectively, so the correct possessive form is 'boys' without the additional apostrophe.
