1. Which word is not spelled correctly in the sentence: 'The physician thought it was unnecessary to explain the procedure.'

• A. physician
• B. unnecessary
• C. explain
• D. procedure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'unnecessary' is misspelled as 'unecessary' in the sentence. The correct spelling should have double 'n' as in 'unnecessary'. Choice A, C, and D are spelled correctly in the sentence provided.

2. What is the meaning of the word 'hygiene' in the sentence: 'It is not wise to skimp on personal hygiene'?

• A. Measures contributing to cleanliness
• B. Financial resources
• C. Insurance
• D. Friendliness

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Measures contributing to cleanliness.' In the given sentence, 'hygiene' refers to practices that promote cleanliness and health, such as washing hands, taking showers, and maintaining a clean environment. Choice B, 'Financial resources,' is incorrect as hygiene does not pertain to money matters. Choice C, 'Insurance,' is unrelated to the concept of hygiene. Choice D, 'Friendliness,' is also incorrect as it does not align with the context of personal cleanliness and health.

3. If the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then they could be heard __________.

• A. Thorough
• B. Thought
• C. Through
• D. Throughout

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'throughout' means in every part of a place or thing. In this context, if the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then it implies that the sound could be heard throughout the community, making 'Throughout' the most appropriate answer. Choice A 'Thorough' means complete or absolute, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Choice B 'Thought' is a past tense form of the verb 'think,' which is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. Choice C 'Through' is a preposition and does not convey the intended meaning of being heard in every part of the community.

4. 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.

5. Choose the meaning of the word 'sanctioned' in the following sentence: 'The professor sanctioned our field trip to the chemistry lab.'

• A. Organized
• B. Deterred
• C. Neglected
• D. Authorized

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this context, the word 'sanctioned' means to authorize or approve. The sentence indicates that the professor gave permission for the field trip to the chemistry lab, which aligns with the meaning of 'authorized.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Organized' does not fit the context as the sentence is about granting approval, not arranging. 'Deterred' means to discourage, which is the opposite of what the professor did. 'Neglected' means failed to care for or pay attention to, which is unrelated to the professor approving the field trip.
