1. Choose the correct pronoun to complete the sentence: "Neither Michael nor Sarah ____ their homework finished yet."

• A. has

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When referring to "neither" followed by two subjects, the verb agrees with the plural subject ("Sarah"). So, "have" is the correct answer.

2. What is the process of cells restoring damaged or lost tissues called?

• A. Cell division
• B. Cell differentiation
• C. Cell growth
• D. Cell regeneration

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: A) Cell division refers to the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells. B) Cell differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized for specific functions. C) Cell growth is the increase in cell size or number. D) Cell regeneration is the process of cells restoring damaged or lost tissues by replacing or repairing the damaged cells. This process is essential for healing wounds and maintaining tissue integrity.

3. How is work defined in terms of force and displacement?

• A. Work is the product of force and displacement in any direction
• B. Work is done only when the displacement is vertical
• C. Work is done only when the force and displacement are perpendicular
• D. Work is the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Work is calculated as the force applied to an object multiplied by the displacement of the object in the direction of the force.

4. Which of the following is NOT a function of the cardiovascular system?

• A. Transporting oxygen to cells
• B. Maintaining blood pressure
• C. Carrying waste products to the kidneys for removal
• D. Initiating the immune response

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The cardiovascular system is responsible for transporting oxygen to cells (option A), maintaining blood pressure (option B), and carrying waste products to the kidneys for removal (option C). However, initiating the immune response (option D) is not a function of the cardiovascular system. The immune response is primarily carried out by the immune system, which includes organs like the spleen and lymph nodes. While the cardiovascular system does play a role in immune function by transporting immune cells and antibodies, it is not responsible for initiating the immune response. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

5. Which element has the highest melting point of any element?

• A. Tungsten
• B. Iron
• C. Platinum
• D. Carbon

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Diamond's strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms make it incredibly resistant to heat and pressure, giving it the highest melting point.

6. Which of the following is a MAJOR consequence of a stroke?

• A. Irregular heart rhythm.
• B. Rapid weight gain or loss.
• C. Brain damage due to interrupted blood flow.
• D. Chronic fatigue and muscle weakness.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Brain damage due to interrupted blood flow.' A stroke occurs when there is a sudden interruption in the blood supply to the brain, leading to brain damage. This interruption can result in various consequences such as paralysis, speech and vision problems, cognitive impairments, and in severe cases, even death. Other options like 'Irregular heart rhythm' (A) and 'Chronic fatigue and muscle weakness' (D) can be associated with health conditions but are not direct consequences of a stroke. 'Rapid weight gain or loss' (B) is typically not a major consequence of a stroke compared to the significant impact of brain damage.
