Question 1 · Verbal
“Healthcare professionals are increasingly reliant on data to make decisions that affect patient outcomes. From electronic health records to predictive algorithms, the medical field is undergoing a digital transformation. However, concerns about privacy, accuracy, and ethical use of data persist.” Based on the passage, which of the following best describes the author’s main point?
Answer: B. The use of data in healthcare is growing, though it presents challenges.
The passage describes the growing use of data in healthcare and acknowledges ongoing concerns about privacy, accuracy, and ethics. The correct choice captures both parts of this main idea; the other choices misrepresent or overstate the author's position.
Question 2 · Wordknowledge
Which of the following words is the closest in meaning to benevolent?
Answer: D. Generous
Benevolent means kind or generous in nature, making “Generous” the best synonym.
Question 3 · Mathematics
A patient is given 2.5 liters of fluid. If this is 125% of the daily recommended amount, what is the standard daily amount?
Answer: D. 2.0 L
Let x = daily amount. 125% of x = 2.5 → 1.25x = 2.5 → x = 2.0 L.
Question 4 · Mathematics
The ages of five patients in a waiting room are 22, 35, 35, 41, and 57. What is the mean age?
Answer: A. 38
The mean is the sum divided by the number of values: 22 + 35 + 35 + 41 + 57 = 190, and 190 ÷ 5 = 38. (35 is both the median and the mode.)
Question 5 · Science
What is the function of alveoli in the respiratory system?
Answer: C. Gas exchange
Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the lungs and blood.
Question 6 · Verbal
"Telemedicine has expanded rapidly, allowing patients to consult doctors via video calls, reducing travel and wait times. However, challenges such as internet access and patient privacy continue to affect its widespread use." What is the main idea of the passage?
Answer: C. Telemedicine offers benefits but still faces barriers.
The passage discusses both advantages (reduced travel and wait times) and challenges (internet access, privacy), so the best summary is that telemedicine offers benefits but still faces barriers.
Question 7 · Wordknowledge
What is the meaning of the word resilient in the sentence below? "Despite many challenges, the patient remained resilient."
Answer: D. Strong and adaptable
Resilient means able to recover or bounce back from difficulties—strong and adaptable.
Question 8 · Mathematics
A medication label says “Take 0.75 of a tablet.” What fraction is this equivalent to?
