1) A patient is taking a medication that is a “cholinesterase inhibitor” (donepezil) for Alzheimer’s
disease. Which side effect is common?
A) Hypertension
B) Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
C) Weight gain
D) Constipation
💡 RATIONALE -- Cholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine) increase acetylcholine
levels, leading to cholinergic side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and bradycardia. They do
not commonly cause constipation or weight gain.
✔️ ANSWER -- B) Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
---
2) Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
A) The team of researchers are presenting their findings.
B) Each of the students have completed the assignment.
C) Neither the teacher nor the students was late.
D) The committee has reached a decision.
,💡 RATIONALE -- Collective nouns like “committee” take a singular verb when acting as a unit. “The
team…is” (not are), “Each…has” (not have), and with “neither/nor” the verb agrees with the nearest

4) Which of the following describes the function of the ribosome?
A) Lipid synthesis
B) Protein synthesis
C) DNA replication
D) ATP production
💡 RATIONALE -- Ribosomes translate mRNA into polypeptide chains, i.e., protein synthesis. Lipid

5) According to the passage, which of the following is a stated opinion rather than a fact?
(Assume a short passage about climate change: “Many scientists believe that human activity is the
primary driver of recent global warming. The average global temperature has risen 1.2°C since pre-
industrial times.”)

B) Human activity is the primary driver of recent global warming.
C) Global temperatures have changed over time.
D) Scientists study climate patterns.

7) Which of the following is an example of adaptive immunity?
A) Inflammation at a cut site
B) Fever in response to infection
C) Production of antibodies after vaccination
D) Phagocytosis by macrophages
💡 RATIONALE -- Adaptive immunity involves specific recognition and memory, such as antibody
production after vaccination. Inflammation, fever, and phagocytosis are innate immune responses.
✔️ ANSWER -- C) Production of antibodies after vaccination
---
8) Which word is used correctly in the sentence? “The patient’s condition had an _______ effect on his
mood.”
A) adverse
B) averse
C) advert
D) avert
💡 RATIONALE -- “Adverse” means harmful or unfavorable, fitting the context. “Averse” means having a
