1. The final sentence suggests that the debate surrounding UBI necessitates

• A. Focusing on the potential cost savings for governments compared to existing welfare programs.
• B. Prioritizing the opinions of economists and financial experts over those of social scientists and philosophers.
• C. Engaging in thoughtful and informed discussions considering both the economic and ethical implications.
• D. Dismissing the concerns of critics and implementing UBI as a rapid solution to poverty and inequality.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The emphasis on "complex interplay" and "careful consideration" suggests a call for nuanced and multifaceted discussions, aligning with C.

2. Positive integers are greater than zero. Which of the following expressions results in the largest positive number?

• A. (2 + 3)^2
• B. 5 x 7 + 2
• C. 10^2 - 4^2
• D. (8 - 1) x 3

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 10^2 - 4^2 = 100 - 16 = 84

3. When making a dilution, you...

• A. Add more solute to a concentrated solution
• B. Change the temperature of the solution
• C. Decrease the concentration of a solution
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Decrease the concentration of a solution.' When making a dilution, you decrease the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent, not solute. Adding more solute to a concentrated solution would increase the concentration, not dilute it. Changing the temperature of the solution does not directly relate to dilution. Therefore, the only correct statement related to the process of making a dilution is that you decrease the concentration of the solution by adding more solvent, making option C the correct answer.

4. What checkpoint mechanism ensures all chromosomes are attached to the spindle fibers before anaphase begins?

• A. Prometaphase
• B. Prometaphase
• C. Cyclin degradation
• D. Sister chromatid cohesion

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) Prometaphase is the correct answer because it is the stage of mitosis where all chromosomes are attached to the spindle fibers before anaphase begins. During prometaphase, the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing the spindle fibers to attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes. This attachment is necessary for proper chromosome alignment and segregation during anaphase. B) Metaphase is incorrect because it is the stage where chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate but do not necessarily have all spindle fibers attached. C) Cyclin degradation is incorrect because it is a regulatory mechanism that controls the progression of the cell cycle but is not specifically related to ensuring all chromosomes are attached to spindle fibers. D) Sister chromatid cohesion is incorrect because it refers to the physical connection between sister chromatids that is maintained until anaphase, but it does not ensure that all chromosomes are attached to spindle fibers.

5. Which of the following is a unit of power?

• A. Newton-meter (N·m)
• B. Joule (J)
• C. Watt (W)
• D. Kilogram (kg)

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Watt is the unit of power, measuring the rate of work done or energy transfer.

6. Identify the antonym of the word "pensive":

• A. joyous
• B. thoughtful
• C. curious
• D. introspective
