1. She knows that there are external forces that influence changes in his unit. Which of the

• A. Memo from the CEO to cut down on electrical consumption
• B. Demands of the labor sector to increase wages
• C. Low morale of staff in her unit
• D. Exacting regulatory and accreditation standards

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is option A: 'Memo from the CEO to cut down on electrical consumption.' This choice represents an external force that can influence changes in the unit by setting a directive from top management to reduce electricity usage, impacting operations and decisions within the unit. While options B, C, and D may also affect the unit to some extent, they are not as directly tied to external influences as the CEO's memo. The demands of the labor sector (option B) and low staff morale (option C) are internal factors, while regulatory and accreditation standards (option D) are more overarching guidelines rather than specific external forces impacting the unit. Therefore, the most direct and relevant external force in this scenario is the directive from the CEO, making option A the correct choice.

2. Identify the conjunction in the following sentence: He went to the store, but they were already closed.

• A. went
• B. to
• C. but
• D. they

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses. "But" joins two contrasting ideas in the sentence.

3. Acknowledge the organ devoted to blood filtration.

• A. Liver
• B. Kidneys
• C. Spleen
• D. Pancreas

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The kidneys are the primary organs responsible for filtering blood and removing waste products, excess fluids, and toxins. They play a crucial role in maintaining the body's internal environment and regulating blood pressure.

4. Which word choice best fits the blank: "Her research paper was riddled with _____ errors."

• A. flagrant (obvious and inexcusable)
• B. cursory (superficial)
• C. innocuous (harmless)
• D. meticulous (carefully detailed)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Option A "flagrant," emphasizes the severity and noticeable nature of the errors.

5. Which of the following colligative properties refers to the elevation of the boiling point of a solution?

• A. Freezing point depression
• B. Vapor pressure lowering
• C. Osmotic pressure
• D. Boiling point elevation

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Freezing point depression. Colligative properties are properties that depend on the number of solute particles in a solution, not the type of solute. Freezing point depression is the phenomenon where the freezing point of a solvent is lowered when a solute is added, while boiling point elevation is the opposite effect where the boiling point of a solution is raised. Therefore, the question specifically asked for the colligative property that refers to the elevation of the boiling point, making "Freezing point depression" the correct answer.

6. What term describes the maximum displacement of particles from their rest position in a wave?

• A. Frequency
• B. Wavelength
• C. Amplitude
• D. Velocity

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The term that describes the maximum displacement of particles from their rest position in a wave is called the amplitude. Amplitude is a measure of the strength or intensity of a wave and is represented by the height of the wave from the rest position to the crest (or trough) of the wave. Frequency (A) refers to the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time, wavelength (B) is the distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) of a wave, and velocity (D) is the speed of the wave.
