1. As a young manager, she knows that conflict occurs in any organization. Which of the

• A. Can be destructive if the level is too high
• B. Is not beneficial; hence it should be prevented at all times
• C. May result in poor performance
• D.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Conflict in an organization is a natural occurrence that can either be constructive or destructive. Option C is the correct answer because conflict may indeed lead to poor performance if not managed effectively. When conflict is left unresolved or unaddressed, it can create tension, decrease morale, and hinder productivity. By recognizing that conflict can impact performance, the young manager can take proactive steps to address and resolve conflicts in a constructive manner to minimize its negative effects and promote a healthy work environment.

2. How can you predict the charge of an ion formed by an element based on its position on the periodic table?

• A. Look for elements with similar atomic weights
• B. Identify the group number, which often indicates the typical ionic charge
• C. Identify the group number, which often indicates the typical ionic charge
• D. Analyze the element's position within the period

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The group number of an element on the periodic table often indicates the typical ionic charge it will form. Elements in the same group tend to have similar chemical properties, including the tendency to gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This predictable pattern allows us to anticipate the charge of an ion formed by an element based on its position in the periodic table.

3. Discern the INCORRECT function of the liver.

• A. Bile production, aiding digestion.
• B. Blood protein synthesis, such as albumin.
• C. Glucose storage for energy regulation.
• D. Filtration of waste products from the blood.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: A) Correct - The liver produces bile, which aids in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. B) Correct - The liver is responsible for synthesizing blood proteins, including albumin, which helps maintain osmotic pressure in the blood. C) Correct - The liver stores glucose in the form of glycogen and helps regulate blood sugar levels by releasing glucose when needed. D) Incorrect - The liver does not filter waste products from the blood. Instead, the kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and excreting them in the form of urine.

4. What is the name of the bone marrow cavity in the long bones where red blood cells are produced?

• A. Periosteum
• B. Diaphysis
• C. Medullary cavity
• D. Epiphysis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Diaphysis. The diaphysis is the shaft of a long bone where the medullary cavity is located. The medullary cavity is the central cavity of the diaphysis where red bone marrow is found and is responsible for producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The periosteum is a dense membrane covering the outer surface of bones, not where red blood cells are produced. The epiphysis refers to the ends of long bones, while the medullary cavity is found in the diaphysis. Therefore, the correct choice is the diaphysis where the medullary cavity is located for red blood cell production.

5. Which property of a substance refers to its ability to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets without breaking?

• A. Malleability
• B. Ductility
• C. Viscosity
• D. Conductivity

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Malleability is the property that describes a substance's ability to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets without breaking.

6. Which of the following is an example of an unsaturated fatty acid?

• A. Stearic acid
• B. Palmitic acid
• C. Oleic acid
• D. Butyric acid

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid, containing at least one double bond in its hydrocarbon chain. The other choices are saturated fatty acids.
