A. $30.95
B. $31.90
C. $32.10
D. $34.95

The answer is $31.90. To calculate how much money she has left, simply subtract the money spent from the original figure: 40 - 1.85 - 3.20 - 3.05 . You cannot subtract the costs of these items at the same time, so you must either subtract them one by one or add them up and subtract the sum from 40. Either way will generate the right answer.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost, “The Road Not Taken"
Which option best expresses the symbolic meaning of the “road” and the overall theme?
1. A divergent spot where the traveler had to choose the correct path to his destination
2. A choice between good and evil that the traveler needs to make
3. The traveler’s struggle between his lost love and his future prospects

as real when answering the questions, and do not let your prior knowledge interfere

B. Determined
C. Feverish
D. Powerful
Correct answer: D. Powerful
The best definition for the word potent is “powerful.” A strong drug may be referred to as potent. The ability of a man to reproduce is sometimes referred to as his potency.
The word frantic means “frenzied or anxious.” A medical worker should never be frantic when dealing with patients and should do his or her best to keep patients from becoming frantic.
The word determined means “set on a particular path.” Whenever possible, a health-care worker should try to ensure that patients are determined to take the necessary steps toward recovery and good health.
The word feverish can mean either “having a high temperature” or “being worried and anxious.” A feverish patient should be comforted and given plenty of fluids.
Which of the following sources will be most helpful for two friends who wish to travel via the old European trade routes?
