1. Which term is descriptive of a small child just learning to walk?

• A. Obese
• B. Toddler
• C. Geriatric
• D. Hale

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Toddler.' A toddler is a young child typically between the ages of one and three who is just learning to walk. 'Obese' (choice A) refers to excess body fat, 'Geriatric' (choice C) pertains to elderly individuals, and 'Hale' (choice D) means strong and healthy, none of which are descriptive of a small child learning to walk.

2. Something that is viscous is thick and sticky. Another word for this might be ______?

• A. Watery
• B. Gelatinous
• C. Fluid
• D. Dry

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Gelatinous.' Viscous substances have a thick and sticky consistency, similar to the properties of gelatin. 'Watery' and 'fluid' are incorrect as they are opposite in meaning to viscous, which implies thickness and stickiness. 'Dry' is also incorrect as it does not capture the characteristic of being thick and sticky associated with viscosity.

3. What does the term 'Precept' mean?

• A. A rule
• B. A guiding principle
• C. A habit
• D. A punishment

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Precept' refers to a guiding principle rather than just a rule, habit, or punishment. A precept is a general rule or principle guiding behavior, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because a precept is more than just a simple rule, habit, or punishment; it encompasses a fundamental guiding principle that influences actions and decisions.

4. Someone who is FRUSTRATED/ANNOYED is?

• A. Exacerbated
• B. Transient
• C. Lithe
• D. Terse

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'exacerbated' means to make a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling worse. If someone is frustrated or annoyed, they are likely feeling worse due to a particular situation or circumstance. Choice B, 'transient,' means temporary or short-lived, which does not directly relate to the feeling of being frustrated or annoyed. Choice C, 'lithe,' means thin, supple, and graceful, which is not synonymous with being frustrated or annoyed. Choice D, 'terse,' means brief and to the point, which is unrelated to the context of feeling frustrated or annoyed.

5. What does Manifestation mean?

• A. A symptom or sign of a condition
• B. An indication or sign of a condition
• C. A treatment plan
• D. A type of diagnosis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Manifestation means an indication or sign of a condition. It is not a treatment plan (choice C) or a type of diagnosis (choice D). While choice A is close, 'symptom' is more specific than 'indication' in this context, making choice B the most accurate.
