1. What is the main concern the author raises about AI?

• A. Its limitations in achieving true intelligence and emulating human consciousness.
• B. Its potential for misuse in warfare and autonomous weapons systems.
• C. Its detrimental impact on the environment and resource consumption.
• D. Its ethical implications related to bias, privacy, and job displacement.

2. Which hormone, produced by the pituitary gland, stimulates the production of milk in mammary glands during breastfeeding?

• A. Growth hormone (GH)
• B. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
• C. Prolactin
• D. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Correct answer: c

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Prolactin. Prolactin is the hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the production of milk in the mammary glands during breastfeeding. It plays a crucial role in lactation by promoting the growth and development of the mammary glands and initiating the production of milk. Growth hormone (GH) regulates growth and metabolism, not milk production. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland, not mammary glands. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is involved in reproductive processes, not milk production. Therefore, prolactin is the hormone directly responsible for stimulating milk production during breastfeeding.

3. In the sentence "The house was dilapidated," what effect does the word "dilapidated" have on the reader's understanding?

• A. Creates a sense of mystery.
• B. Emphasizes the large size of the house.

• D. Implies the house is haunted.

Correct answer: C

4. Homologous structures are those that:

• A. Have the same function but different origins
• B. Have different functions but the same origin
• C. Are similar in appearance and function due to shared ancestry
• D. Are identical in both appearance and function

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Option A is incorrect because structures with the same function but different origins are analogous structures, not homologous structures. - Option B is incorrect because structures with different functions but the same origin are also not homologous structures; they are considered to be vestigial structures. - Option D is incorrect because structures that are identical in both appearance and function are not necessarily homologous; they could be the result of convergent evolution. Homologous structures are those that share similarities in appearance and function due to being inherited from a common ancestor. These structures may have undergone modifications over time to adapt to different functions in different species, but their fundamental similarities can be traced back to a shared evolutionary history.
