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
Which of the following sentences would be the best topic sentence for the paragraph?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The best topic sentence for the paragraph should introduce the main idea of the benefits of a daily walk, focusing on both physical and psychological aspects. Choice D, 'There are physical and psychological reasons for a daily walk,' is the most suitable as it sets the stage for discussing the physical benefits like increased metabolism and joint flexibility, as well as the mental benefits such as stress relief and mood improvement, which are highlighted in the paragraph.
Question 3 of 5
I had to rack my brain and plumb the depths of my resources to overcome the foul consequences of my previous vice. Which of the following homophones should be used to correct the sentence above?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the given sentence, the correct homophone to use is 'plumb,' which means to explore or examine thoroughly. 'Wrack' should be 'rack,' and 'foul' should be 'fowl' to maintain the context. Therefore, the correct choice is 'plumb' as it fits perfectly in the sentence to convey the intended meaning. 'Rack' in this context means to strain or stretch one's brain, and 'fowl' refers to birds, which are unrelated to the context of exploring resources.
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
Based on the affixes, which of the following words could be defined as 'the study of humans'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: anthropology.' The affix 'anthropo-' refers to humans, and '-logy' denotes the study of something. Therefore, 'anthropology' means the study of humans. 'Anthropomorphism' (choice A) involves attributing human characteristics to non-human entities. 'Biology' (choice B) is the study of living organisms. 'Philanthropy' (choice D) is the desire to promote the welfare of others, typically through donations.
