Question 1 of 5
What is the term for the spaces between the ribs that contain the veins?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct term for the spaces between the ribs that contain the veins is 'intercostal spaces.' Intercostal spaces are the specific anatomical regions between the ribs where the veins are located. The term 'costal spaces' in option B is incorrect as 'costal' pertains to the ribs themselves, not the spaces between them. Option C, 'spaces,' is too general and does not identify the anatomical location. Option D, 'inter spaces,' is not a valid anatomical term. Therefore, the correct answer is 'intercostal spaces,' which precisely describes the spaces between the ribs.

Question 2 of 5
In the sentence, 'The job applicants were shown to an anteroom, where they wanted to be called for their interviews,' what is the meaning of the prefix 'ante'?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The prefix 'ante' means 'before.' An anteroom is a room that comes before the main room, serving as a waiting area. In this context, 'ante' indicates a position or condition prior to something else happening, aligning with the idea that the job applicants were waiting to be called for their interviews in the anteroom.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following statements regarding thesis statements in the writing process is correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A thesis statement plays a vital role in guiding the content and direction of an essay or paper. It is meant to be specific and concise, acting as a roadmap for the reader by clearly stating the main argument or purpose of the writing. The specificity of the thesis statement is crucial as it helps the writer focus their ideas and enables them to provide relevant supporting evidence throughout the paper. By being specific, the thesis statement becomes a strong foundation upon which the rest of the writing can be built. Therefore, the correct choice is A, emphasizing the importance of specific wording in thesis statements.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following best represents the meaning of the word 'indiscriminate'?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'miscellaneous.' 'Indiscriminate' means done at random or without careful judgment. In this context, 'miscellaneous' is the closest synonym representing this lack of discrimination or selectivity. The other options do not accurately capture the essence of 'indiscriminate.' 'Selective' implies making choices, the opposite of 'indiscriminate.' 'Noisy' and 'distinct' are unrelated to the meaning of 'indiscriminate.' Therefore, 'miscellaneous' is the most appropriate choice that aligns with the definition of 'indiscriminate.'
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following prefixes implies duplication or repetition when attached to a root word?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Re-'. The prefix 'Re-' implies duplication or repetition when attached to a root word. It signifies the act of doing something again or the reoccurrence of an action or state. For example, 'redo' means to do something again, 'replay' means to play something again, and 'revisit' means to visit again. On the other hand, 'Un-' typically signifies negation or reversal, 'Dis-' implies removal or separation, and 'In-' usually denotes negation or not. Therefore, 'Re-' is the prefix that specifically indicates duplication or repetition.
