• A. To be overly confident
• B. To take on more than one can handle
• C. To be easily discouraged

2. Which element shares the same group (family) on the periodic table with helium (He)?

• A. Neon (Ne)
• B. Boron (B)
• C. Carbon (C)
• D. Oxygen (O)

Correct answer: A

3. Deficiency of which hormone can lead to stunted growth and developmental delays in children?

• A. Estrogen
• B. Testosterone
• C. Growth hormone
• D. Insulin

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Growth hormone. Growth hormone plays a crucial role in stimulating growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration in humans. Deficiency of growth hormone can lead to stunted growth and developmental delays in children. Estrogen and testosterone are sex hormones responsible for sexual development and characteristics, but they do not directly impact growth. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and is not associated with stunted growth or developmental delays.

4. Which of the following structures plays a crucial role in controlling the cell cycle and preventing uncontrolled cell growth?

• A. The centrioles
• B. The nucleolus
• C. The Golgi apparatus
• D. The endoplasmic reticulum

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: - Centrioles are cylindrical structures found in animal cells that play a crucial role in organizing the spindle fibers during cell division (mitosis). They are involved in the separation of chromosomes during cell division, ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes. - Centrioles are also involved in the formation of cilia and flagella, which are important for cell motility and sensory functions. - The other structures listed in the options (nucleolus, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum) do not directly play a role in controlling the cell cycle and preventing uncontrolled cell growth.

5. Ms. Castro learns that some leaders are transactional leaders. Which of the following does

• A. Focuses on management tasks
• B. Is a caretaker
• C. Uses trade-offs to meet goals
• D. Inspires others with vision

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Uses trade-offs to meet goals.' Transactional leaders focus on the exchange or transaction that occurs between them and their followers. They set clear expectations and goals for their followers and use rewards and punishments to motivate them. This approach involves making trade-offs to achieve desired outcomes, such as rewarding employees for meeting targets or penalizing them for not meeting expectations. Options A and B do not directly relate to transactional leadership, as it is more about goal achievement and motivation through rewards and punishments. Option D describes a transformational leader, who inspires and motivates others through a shared vision and values, which is different from the transactional leadership style described in the question.

6. Ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition that occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus. What is the most common location for an ectopic pregnancy?

• A. Ovary
• B. Fallopian tube
• C. Cervix
• D. Vagina

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Fallopian tube. The fallopian tube is the most common location for an ectopic pregnancy to occur. This is because the fertilized egg typically gets stuck or implants in the fallopian tube instead of traveling to the uterus for normal implantation. If left untreated, an ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube can lead to serious complications such as tubal rupture and internal bleeding. The other options (ovary, cervix, vagina) are not typical sites for implantation of a fertilized egg and are less likely to result in an ectopic pregnancy.
