1. Which of the following sentences uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She was going to the store
• B. She was going to the store
• C. She has gone to the store
• D. She gone to the store

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She was going to the store.' This sentence uses the correct form of the past continuous tense, which is appropriate for describing an action in progress in the past. Choice A is the only option that uses the correct verb form. Choice C uses the present perfect tense, which is not suitable for describing a past action in progress. Choice D is incorrect as it lacks the auxiliary verb 'has' in the sentence structure.

2. 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.

3. Select the word that means 'take into the body.'

• A. congest
• B. ingest
• C. collect
• D. suppress

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'ingest.' The word 'ingest' means to take into the body, typically referring to food or drink. Choice A, 'congest,' means to block or fill up with fluid. Choice C, 'collect,' means to bring or gather together. Choice D, 'suppress,' means to prevent something from happening or to restrain.

4. My mother and _____ went shopping for clothes yesterday.

• A. me
• B. I
• C. myself
• D. mine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'I'. In this sentence, 'I' is the subject pronoun that should be used to complete the sentence correctly. 'Me' is an object pronoun, 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun, and 'mine' is a possessive pronoun, none of which are suitable in this context.

5. What does Distal mean?

• A. Closer to the point of attachment
• B. Further away from the point of attachment
• C. In the middle of the body
• D. On the surface of the skin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Distal means further away from the point of attachment. This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe the location of a body part relative to the point of attachment or the trunk. Choice A is incorrect because it describes the term Proximal, which means closer to the point of attachment. Choice C is incorrect as it describes the term Medial, which means toward the middle of the body. Choice D is incorrect as it describes the term Superficial, which means on or near the surface.
