• A. 100ml
• B. 120ml
• C. 140ml
• D. 160ml

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Multiply the total solution volume (200ml) by the alcohol percentage (60%)

2. Which verb tense is most appropriate for this sentence: "By next week, _____ finished the project."

• A. I will be finishing
• B. I will have finished
• C. I am finishing

3. 7 is divisible by which of the following numbers?

• A. 2 only
• B. 3 only
• C. 1 and 7 only
• D. 2, 3, and 7

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. 7 is divisible by 1 because every number is divisible by 1. 2. 7 is divisible by 7 because any number is divisible by itself. 3. 7 is not divisible by 2 because 7 is an odd number and not divisible by 2. 4. 7 is not divisible by 3 because the sum of the digits of 7 (7) is not divisible by 3. Therefore, 7 is divisible by 1, 7, and itself (7), making the correct answer D) 2, 3, and 7.

4. Your hypothesis predicts that exposing plants to classical music will enhance their growth. How could you design an experiment to test this hypothesis?

• A. Play classical music to all plants in the greenhouse and compare their growth to a control group without music.
• B. Select plants with personal preferences for classical music and compare their growth to plants who dislike it.
• C. Play different genres of music to separate plants and analyze which genre promotes the most growth.
• D. Observe the behavior of plants listening to music and measure their happiness levels.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To test the hypothesis that exposing plants to classical music enhances their growth, the most appropriate experimental design would be to play classical music to all plants in the greenhouse (experimental group) and compare their growth to a control group of plants that are not exposed to any music. This design allows for a direct comparison between the effects of classical music exposure on plant growth, eliminating confounding variables that may arise from individual plant preferences or different music genres.

5. Which type of muscle is characterized by voluntary control and is responsible for body movement?

• A. Cardiac muscle
• B. Smooth muscle
• C. Skeletal muscle
• D. Connective tissue

Correct answer: c

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are characterized by voluntary control, meaning they are under conscious control, allowing us to move our body parts as desired. These muscles are attached to bones and are responsible for movements such as walking, running, and lifting objects. Cardiac muscle (A) is found in the heart and is involuntary, while smooth muscle (B) is found in internal organs and is also involuntary. Connective tissue (D) provides support and structure to the body but is not responsible for body movements.

6. Which of the following is an example of a zoonotic disease?

• A. The common cold
• B. Influenza (the flu)
• C. Malaria
• D. HIV/AIDS

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: A zoonotic disease is a disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans. Influenza is an example of a zoonotic disease as it can be transmitted from animals such as birds and pigs to humans. The common cold (option A) is caused by human rhinoviruses and is not considered a zoonotic disease. Malaria (option C) is transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes and is not considered a zoonotic disease. HIV/AIDS (option D) is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus and is not considered a zoonotic disease.
