Nursing Elites

1. Which of the following statements based on the passage should be considered an opinion?

• A. Julia’s boss asked her to help one of her coworkers with work.
• B. Julia was late to work due to traffic.
• C. It was irresponsible for Julia to leave work early.
• D. Julia was tired because she’d been woken up early.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The statement 'It was irresponsible for Julia to leave work early' is an opinion because it reflects a judgment or evaluation of Julia's actions, rather than stating a fact. The other statements (A, B, D) provide factual information about events that occurred in the passage. Option A states a fact about Julia being asked by her boss; option B explains the reason for Julia being late; option D provides a reason for Julia feeling tired. These are not opinions but rather statements of events or circumstances.

2. Based on Gemma's preferences and limited time, which of the following travel guides will be best for her?

• A. Exploring the Hawaiian Islands: The Best Waterfalls on the Big Island and Maui
• B. Na Pali: The Two-Day Hike That Changes Everything
• C. Pineapples, Taro, and Roasted Pigs: A Dining Guide to Hawaii
• D. The Top Ten: Beaches, Restaurants, and Sightseeing in Honolulu and on Oahu

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Given Gemma's goal of seeing as much as possible in a short time while enjoying outdoor activities and nature, the best travel guide for her would be 'Exploring the Hawaiian Islands: The Best Waterfalls on the Big Island and Maui.' This guide aligns with her interest in outdoor activities and waterfalls, making it the ideal choice to enhance her trip experience. Choice B, 'Na Pali: The Two-Day Hike That Changes Everything,' focuses on a specific hike and may not cover a broad range of attractions Gemma wants to explore. Choice C, 'Pineapples, Taro, and Roasted Pigs: A Dining Guide to Hawaii,' is more food-oriented and doesn't cater to Gemma's interest in outdoor activities. Choice D, 'The Top Ten: Beaches, Restaurants, and Sightseeing in Honolulu and on Oahu,' while offering a variety of attractions, doesn't specifically target Gemma's interest in exploring waterfalls and the natural beauty of Hawaii as she desires.

3. What is an actuary?

• A. A doctor who works in a hospital.
• B. The same as a hospitalist.
• C. An insurance agent who works in a hospital.
• D. A person who assesses insurance risks and premiums.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: An actuary is a person who assesses insurance risks and premiums. This is the primary role of an actuary, involving the analysis of financial consequences of risk. Choice A is incorrect as actuaries are not medical professionals. Choice B is incorrect as a hospitalist is a physician who works in a hospital, not related to actuarial work. Choice C is incorrect as actuaries are not insurance agents; they focus on risk assessment and not sales.

4. Which option best defines a fable?

• A. A melancholic poem lamenting the subject's death
• B. An oral tradition influenced by culture
• C. A story with events that occur in threes and sevens
• D. A short story with animals, fantastic creatures, or other forces within nature

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A fable is a short story that typically features animals, fantastic creatures, or other forces within nature as characters. These characters often possess human-like qualities and behavior, and the story is intended to convey a moral lesson or message to the reader. The use of animals or other natural elements is a common characteristic of fables, distinguishing them from other types of stories or literary works. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the defining characteristics of a fable.

5. What is the definition of the word 'haunt' in the following passage? 'From that time forward, Mr. Utterson began to haunt the door in the by street of shops.'

• A. To levitate
• B. To constantly visit
• C. To terrorize
• D. To daunt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Haunt' in this context means to visit a place frequently or persistently, which aligns with Mr. Utterson's actions of regularly going to the door in the by street of shops. The other choices are incorrect because 'levitate' means to rise or float in the air, 'terrorize' means to cause extreme fear, and 'daunt' means to make someone feel intimidated or apprehensive, none of which accurately reflect the meaning of 'haunt' in this context.
