Question: 196

1. Like many ------ diseases, mononucleosis is easily transmitted from person to person; thus, if a patient stays away from others after falling ill, the ------ can be contained.

  • A. chronic … symptoms
  • B. communicable … outbreak
  • C. curable … epidemic
  • D. infectious … recovery

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The answer is B

The first blank must mean easily transmitted, while the second blank must relate to a desire for containing the presence of a disease, requiring communicable and outbreak as the answer.

Do one blank at a time. The first blank, which might seem easier, must mean easily transmitted, so you can eliminate choice (C), as well as choice (A) if you know the word. The second blank must relate to a desire for containing the presence of a disease, so eliminate choices (A) and (D).
