1. Which of the following is the main function of the pancreas?

• A. To store food and break it down into smaller pieces
• B. To absorb nutrients into the bloodstream
• C. To produce enzymes that help digest food
• D. To regulate blood sugar levels

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The pancreas is a vital organ in the digestive system that produces digestive enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and proteases. These enzymes are released into the small intestine to help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in food, aiding in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Options A and B are incorrect because the pancreas is not involved in storing or absorbing nutrients. Option D is partially correct as the pancreas also plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels by producing insulin and glucagon, but its primary function is to produce digestive enzymes.

2. Which law of motion explains the behavior of rockets in space?

• A. Newton's First Law
• B. Newton's Second Law
• C. Newton's Third Law
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Newton's Third Law of motion explains that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, which propels rockets in space.

3. Which of the following factors does NOT affect the rate of dissolution of a solute in a solvent?

• A. Temperature
• B. Pressure
• C. Surface area
• D. Particle size

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Pressure does not affect the rate of dissolution of a solute in a solvent. The factors that do affect the rate of dissolution include temperature, surface area, and particle size. Temperature generally increases the rate of dissolution as it provides more energy for the solute particles to break apart and mix with the solvent. Increasing the surface area of the solute by grinding it into smaller particles or increasing its contact area with the solvent can also speed up dissolution. Similarly, reducing the particle size of the solute can increase the rate of dissolution by providing more surface area for interaction with the solvent.

4. Percent (%) is a way to express a fraction with a denominator of 100. 125% can be expressed as a fraction in lowest terms. Which of the following represents 125% as a fraction?

• A. 5/4
• B. 1/8
• C. 5/2
• D. 25/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Percent literally means "out of one hundred." So, 125% is equivalent to 125/100. We can simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 25, resulting in 5/2.

5. He wants to influence the customary way of thinking and behaving that is shared by the

• A. Organizational chart
• B. Cultural network
• C. Organizational structure
• D. Organizational culture

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Organizational chart." In the context of the question, the individual is aiming to impact the established patterns of thinking and behavior within a group or organization. An organizational chart typically depicts the formal structure of an organization, including roles, relationships, and reporting lines. By influencing the organizational chart, the individual can potentially shape the hierarchical structure and decision-making processes, thereby impacting the customary way of thinking and behaving within the organization. Options B, C, and D do not directly refer to the visual representation of roles and relationships within an organization, making them incorrect choices for this question.

6. Which of the following is an example of an aromatic compound?

• A. Ethanol
• B. Toluene
• C. Acetone
• D. Butanal

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Toluene is an aromatic compound. The other choices are not aromatic compounds.
