QUESTION: 241 Topic - Section: Vocabulary

Which word most nearly means enervate?

fortify
debilitate
rectify
energize

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The word enervate means to weaken or cause someone to feel drained of energy, weak, or tired. Debilitate has the closest meaning in making someone feel weak or infirm or lacking strength or stamina. Energize and fortify are really antonyms of enervate, and rectify means “to right a wrong,” which has nothing to do with causing weakness.

Which word, meaning “to examine by touch,” fits best into this sentence?

“The pediatrician _____________the young patient’s abdomen to see if she could discover what was causing the girl’s pain.”

pondered
palpated
perpetuated
projected

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In trying to diagnose the problem, it makes sense that the doctor would examine by touch, or palpate the patient’s abdomen. It does not make sense that the doctor would just think about her abdomen (ponder), estimate her abdomen (project), or maintain her abdomen (perpetuate).

QUESTION: 243 Topic - Section: Vocabulary

Which word means most nearly the same as the underlined word in this sentence?

“During the bypass surgery, the surgeon had to locate the anterior veins first before she could reach the heart itself.”

frontal
posterior
exterior
aft

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The word anterior comes from the Latin ante, meaning before or nearer to the front, so frontal would be the best answer. Posterior comes from post or behind. Aft is “in the rear” or at the end, and exterior means “outside of something.” While the veins the surgeon is locating are outside of the heart, anterior and frontal are closer in meaning in this context.
