1. Which of the following is NOT a type of vaccine?

• A. Live attenuated vaccine
• B. Toxoid vaccine
• C. Conjugate vaccine
• D. Antibiotic

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: A) Live attenuated vaccine: This type of vaccine contains a weakened form of the virus or bacteria that causes the disease. When administered, it stimulates an immune response without causing the disease itself. B) Toxoid vaccine: Toxoid vaccines are made from toxins produced by bacteria that have been inactivated. They stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against the toxin, providing immunity against the disease. C) Conjugate vaccine: Conjugate vaccines are made by combining a weak antigen with a strong antigen to enhance the immune response. They are commonly used to protect against bacterial infections. D) Antibiotic: Antibiotics are medications used to treat bacterial infections by killing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria. They are not a type of vaccine but rather a class of antimicrobial drugs. Therefore, the correct answer is D) Antibiotic, as it is not a type of vaccine.

2. What is the primary factor that determines whether a solute will dissolve in a solvent?

• A. Temperature
• B. Pressure
• C. Molecular structure
• D. Particle size

Correct answer: c

Rationale: The molecular structure of the solute and solvent plays a key role in determining solubility. The other choices may influence solubility but are not the primary determining factor.

3. What is the absolute value of -7?

• A. 49
• B. 17
• C. 7
• D. 14

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Absolute value refers to the non-negative distance of a number from zero. Regardless of being positive or negative, 7 is its distance from zero.

4. What is the process by which damaged muscle tissue repairs and rebuilds itself?

• A. Degeneration
• B. Regeneration
• C. Hyperplasia
• D. Metaplasia

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Regeneration." Regeneration is the process by which damaged muscle tissue repairs and rebuilds itself by replacing the damaged cells with new, healthy cells. Degeneration refers to the deterioration of tissue, not the repair process. Hyperplasia is the increase in cell number, and metaplasia is the transformation of one cell type into another, neither of which directly relate to the repair process of damaged muscle tissue. Therefore, the most appropriate term for the described process is regeneration.

5. Which of the following is evidence that the controlling process is effective?

• A. The things that were planned are done
• B. Physicians do not complain.
• C. Employees are contended
• D. There is an increase in customer satisfaction rate.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The things that were planned are done.' This is evidence that the controlling process is effective because it indicates that the organization is able to execute its plans successfully. When planned tasks and activities are completed as intended, it shows that the controlling function is ensuring that operations are on track and that deviations are being corrected. The completion of planned tasks also demonstrates that resources are being effectively utilized and that performance is being monitored and controlled. The other options do not directly relate to the effectiveness of the controlling process. Physicians not complaining, employees being contented, and an increase in customer satisfaction rate could be influenced by various factors and may not necessarily be solely attributed to the effectiveness of the controlling process.

6. Identify the reflexive pronoun in the sentence: "She prepared herself for the presentation."

• A. herself
• B. she
• C. presentation
• D. for

Correct answer: A

Rationale: "Herself" refers back to the subject "she," making it a reflexive pronoun.
