Which verb form best completes the sentence?
- A. Going
- B. Go
- C. Have
- D. Having
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Having.' In the sentence 'I am looking forward to having my birthday party next week,' 'having' is the correct present participle form of the verb 'have' to indicate an anticipated event. Choice A 'Going' is incorrect as it does not match the structure of the sentence. Choice B 'Go' is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and does not fit grammatically. Choice C 'Have' is incorrect as it is the base form and does not convey the future action in the sentence.

Which phrase is NOT used correctly in the sentence?
- A. Do to
- B. Stay was
- C. Client's
- D. Superinfection
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. "Do to" should be corrected to "due to" in this context. The sentence should read, "The client's hospital stay was prolonged, due to a superinfection." The phrase "due to" is the appropriate choice to indicate the cause of the prolonged hospital stay. Choices B, C, and D are all used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.
Where is the posterior part of the body located?
- A. Topmost
- B. Lowermost
- C. Front
- D. Back
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The term 'posterior' refers to the back of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Back.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Topmost' and 'Lowermost' do not specifically refer to the back of the body, and 'Front' is the opposite of 'Back.'
Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of this sentence? 'The nurse went from room to room looking for the missing patient.'
- A. patient
- B. form
- C. nurse
- D. missing
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B' because 'form' is misspelled, it should be 'from'. In the given sentence, 'form' is incorrect as it should be 'from' to indicate movement from one place to another. The other choices ('patient,' 'nurse,' 'missing') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.
Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? 'During the fight, I was hit on ___.'
- A. Head
- B. On head
- C. A head
- D. The head
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Head.' The phrase 'on the head' is a prepositional phrase indicating where the person was hit. 'Head' is the correct noun to complete the sentence. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they either add unnecessary articles ('a' or 'the') or incorrectly use the preposition 'on' before 'head.' The correct structure is 'hit on the head,' without any additional articles.
Select the meaning of the word 'untoward' in the sentence: 'His untoward actions during the admission process created a problem for the nurse.'
- A. Violent
- B. Casual
- C. Unseemly
- D. Capricious
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Unseemly.' In this context, 'untoward' refers to actions that are improper or inappropriate. Choice A, 'Violent,' does not accurately reflect the meaning of 'untoward' in the context of the sentence. Choice B, 'Casual,' is unrelated to the negative connotation of 'untoward.' Choice D, 'Capricious,' suggests unpredictability rather than the negative behavior implied by 'untoward.' Therefore, 'Unseemly' is the most appropriate meaning in this context.
