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 inhibiting mean?

• A. Blocking
• B. Hindering
• C. Energizing
• D. Slowing down improvement

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Hindering.' Inhibiting means to hinder or slow down a process rather than actively block or energize it. Hindering implies causing a delay or obstruction, which aligns closely with the meaning of inhibiting. Choices A and C are incorrect because inhibiting does not necessarily mean completely blocking or energizing a process. Choice D is incorrect as it specifically mentions improvement, which is not always the focus of inhibiting.

3. The interns observed the CONTOURS of the patients' rash. What does Contours mean?

• A. Color
• B. Shape
• C. Size
• D. Texture

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Shape.' Contours refer to the outline or shape of something. In this context, the interns were observing the shape or outline of the patients' rash, not the color, size, or texture. Colors, sizes, and textures are not typically described as contours, making choices A, C, and D incorrect.

4. What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence: 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'

• A. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• B. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• C. This door remains unlocked when the office is occupied
• D. This door remains unlocked while the office is occupied

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied.' This choice provides a clear and grammatically correct revision of the original sentence. Choice B is incorrect due to the missing 'will' before 'remain' and 'the' before 'office.' Choice C is incorrect as it does not include 'the office,' making it less specific. Choice D is incorrect as it uses 'while' instead of 'when,' changing the intended meaning.

5. What is another word for AEGIS?

• A. Relationship
• B. Respectability
• C. Ramifications
• D. Responsibility

Correct answer: B

Rationale: AEGIS is synonymous with protection, sponsorship, or support. Respectability aligns with this notion as it relates to being socially acceptable or esteemed, which can be seen as a form of protection or favorable regard. 'Relationship' (Choice A) does not capture the protective or supportive aspect of AEGIS. 'Ramifications' (Choice C) and 'Responsibility' (Choice D) are not synonyms for AEGIS. They do not convey the sense of protection or support associated with it.
