The patient ___ waiting in the reception area since nine o'clock this morning. Which choice is correct?
Why: 'Since nine o'clock' with an action continuing up to now calls for the present perfect continuous: 'has been waiting'. The simple present or past cannot pair with 'since' this way.
In everyday communication with patients, the plain-English word for 'hypertension' is ___. Which fits best?
Why: 'Hypertension' means high blood pressure; using the plain-English term helps patients understand. The other options describe different conditions.
