1. Which sentence uses the VERB correctly?

• A. I saw you standing in line at the Tilt-A-Whirl at the country fair.
• B. I sang the national anthem before the country fair moto-cross race.
• C. I ran toward the country fair arena with Nibbles the Rabbit.
• D. I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.' 'Wore' is the correct past tense form of 'wear.' Choice A is incorrect as 'seen' should be 'saw,' which is the correct past tense of 'see.' Choice B is incorrect as 'sung' should be 'sang,' the correct past tense of 'sing.' Choice C is incorrect as 'ran' is the correct verb, but the question specifically asks for the correct use of a verb, not just any verb.

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. What does Consistency refer to?

• A. Color of a fluid
• B. Degree of viscosity, how thick or thin a fluid is
• C. Taste of a fluid
• D. Smell of a fluid

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Consistency refers to the degree of viscosity of a fluid, indicating how thick or thin it is. Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow, and it determines its consistency. Choices A, color, C, taste, and D, smell, are not related to consistency. Color, taste, and smell are sensory attributes that do not define the physical property of consistency in fluids.

4. A blood vessel that is distended is ____

• A. Narrow
• B. Swollen
• C. Flat
• D. Dilated

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Swollen.' Distended means swollen or expanded, not narrow (A), flat (C), or dilated (D). When a blood vessel is distended, it is enlarged or swollen due to increased pressure.

5. What does Flaccid mean?

• A. Rigid
• B. Limp or lacking tone
• C. Tense
• D. Swollen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Limp or lacking tone.' Flaccid refers to something that is lacking firmness or muscle tone. Choice A, 'Rigid,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of flaccid. Choice C, 'Tense,' is also incorrect as it implies stiffness or tightness, which is different from being flaccid. Choice D, 'Swollen,' is unrelated to the meaning of flaccid.
