1. Which word is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT? During the time he lived in New York, he worked as a writer, an editor, and a library.

• A. An
• B. Library
• C. As
• D. During

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'library' is incorrect in this context. It should be 'librarian' to be grammatically correct. The other choices ('an,' 'as,' 'during') are all grammatically correct and fit appropriately in the sentence.

2. What is the definition of Bilateral?

• A. Occurring on one side
• B. Present on two sides
• C. Occurring in random areas
• D. Not occurring

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct definition of bilateral is something that is present on two sides. This term is commonly used in medical contexts to describe conditions or procedures that affect or involve both sides of a particular part of the body. Choice A, 'Occurring on one side,' is incorrect because bilateral refers to both sides, not just one. Choice C, 'Occurring in random areas,' is incorrect as bilateral specifically means on two sides, not random areas. Choice D, 'Not occurring,' is also incorrect as bilateral refers to something present on two sides, not the absence of occurrence.

3. What does 'Occluded' mean?

• A. Open
• B. Closed or obstructed
• C. Partially obstructed
• D. Expanded

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Occluded' means something is closed or obstructed, not open as in choice A. It is more than just partially obstructed as in choice C. It does not mean expanded as in choice D. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 'Closed or obstructed.'

4. The student observed the tricky procedure with a certain amount of trepidation. What does trepidation mean?

• A. Confidence
• B. Misgivings
• C. Fear
• D. Doubt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Misgivings. Trepidation means a feeling of fear or apprehension. In this context, the student observed the procedure with a certain amount of trepidation, indicating that they were feeling uneasy or fearful. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Confidence (choice A) is the opposite of trepidation, as it denotes a feeling of self-assurance. Fear (choice C) is the closest synonym to trepidation, making it an attractive distractor, but it is not the correct answer. Doubt (choice D) is different from trepidation, as doubt refers to a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction, not necessarily fear or apprehension.

5. What is the crystalline compound that is a product of protein metabolism known as?

• A. uracil
• B. urine
• C. ureter
• D. urea

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Urea is the correct answer. It is the crystalline compound formed in the liver from the breakdown of proteins, a byproduct of protein metabolism. Urea is excreted by the kidneys in the form of urine, aiding in the elimination of nitrogenous waste from the body. Uracil (Choice A) is a nitrogenous base found in RNA, not a product of protein metabolism. Urine (Choice B) is the liquid waste excreted by the kidneys but not the crystalline compound resulting from protein metabolism. Ureter (Choice C) is a duct that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder, not the compound produced from protein metabolism.
