1. Which word is NOT CORRECT? The student did not recognize which backpack was hers.

• A. Backpack
• B. Student
• C. Hers
• D. Recognize

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hers.' The possessive pronoun 'hers' does not require an apostrophe. The use of 'her's' with an apostrophe is grammatically incorrect. Choices A, B, and D ('Backpack,' 'Student,' and 'Recognize') are all spelled correctly and are grammatically sound in the sentence provided.

2. What does 'Discrete' mean?

• A. Continuous
• B. Distinct or separate
• C. Mixed
• D. Combined

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Distinct or separate.' Discrete refers to something that is individually separate and distinct, not continuous (choice A), mixed (choice C), or combined (choice D). In mathematics and other fields, discrete items are countable and distinct from each other.

3. Choose the meaning of the word 'puerilism' in the following sentence: 'Older patients with dementia may show signs of puerilism.'

• A. Congeniality
• B. Depression
• C. Irritability
• D. Childishness

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Correct! Puerilism refers to behaving in a childish or immature manner. In the context of older patients with dementia showing signs of puerilism, it suggests they may exhibit behaviors associated with acting like a child. Choice A, 'Congeniality,' is incorrect as it means friendliness or pleasantness. Choice B, 'Depression,' is incorrect as it refers to a state of low mood. Choice C, 'Irritability,' is incorrect as it means easily annoyed or provoked, which is different from behaving childishly.

• A. Thick and sticky
• B. Slimy
