1. What is the main idea of the passage?

• A. Petra is a modern city built for tourism.
• B. Petra's historical significance lies in its architectural achievements.
• C. Petra's prosperity was linked to its strategic location on trade routes.
• D. Petra's obscurity remains a mystery despite its rediscovery.

Rationale: B mentions Petra's architecture, but not its connection to trade. A and D are factually incorrect and not supported by the passage. Choice C accurately identifies Petra's rise and fall as tied to its position on the Silk Road, making it the main idea.

2. Simple columnar epithelium lining the small intestine is crucial for:

• A. Movement
• B. Support
• C. Absorption
• D. Insulation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Absorption. The simple columnar epithelium lining the small intestine is crucial for absorption due to its structure and function. It has microvilli that increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption. This epithelium also contains specialized cells like goblet cells that secrete mucus to protect the lining and aid in the movement of materials. Movement (choice A) is more related to muscle tissue rather than epithelial tissue. Support (choice B) is usually provided by connective tissue rather than epithelial tissue. Insulation (choice D) is not a function of the simple columnar epithelium in the small intestine.

3. How many amino acids can make up a protein?

• A. 10-20
• B. 50-100
• C. 100-500
• D. 1000+

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids. There are 20 standard amino acids that are commonly found in proteins. The sequence and arrangement of these amino acids determine the structure and function of a protein. While proteins can vary in size and complexity, the number of amino acids typically ranges from around 10 to 20 in smaller proteins to hundreds or even thousands in larger proteins. Therefore, the range of 10-20 amino acids is the most accurate representation of the number of amino acids that can make up a protein.

4. Ms. Castro learns that some leaders are transactional leaders. Which of the following does

• A. Focuses on management tasks
• B. Is a caretaker
• C. Uses trade-offs to meet goals
• D. Inspires others with vision

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Uses trade-offs to meet goals.' Transactional leaders focus on the exchange or transaction that occurs between them and their followers. They set clear expectations and goals for their followers and use rewards and punishments to motivate them. This approach involves making trade-offs to achieve desired outcomes, such as rewarding employees for meeting targets or penalizing them for not meeting expectations. Options A and B do not directly relate to transactional leadership, as it is more about goal achievement and motivation through rewards and punishments. Option D describes a transformational leader, who inspires and motivates others through a shared vision and values, which is different from the transactional leadership style described in the question.
