1. A table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. What is its perimeter if opposite sides are equal?

• A. 125cm
• B. 150cm
• C. 200cm
• D. 50cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Given that the table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. - Since opposite sides are equal, the table top can be divided into two pairs of equal sides: 75cm and 50cm. - To find the perimeter, we add up all four sides: 75cm + 50cm + 75cm + 50cm = 250cm. - However, since opposite sides are equal, we only need to consider two sides: 75cm + 50cm = 125cm. - Therefore, the perimeter of the table top is 125cm + 125cm = 150cm. - Hence, the correct answer is B) 150cm.

2. Sunscreen protects the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays by

• A. Reflecting UV rays away from the skin
• B. Absorbing UV rays and converting them to heat
• C. Blocking UV rays completely
• D. Stimulating melanin production

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Absorbing UV rays and converting them to heat. Sunscreen contains ingredients that act as filters to absorb UV radiation before it reaches the skin. These filters then convert the UV rays into a less harmful form of energy, usually heat, which is then released from the body. This process helps prevent UV radiation from damaging the skin cells and causing sunburn or long-term skin damage. Reflecting UV rays away from the skin (A) and blocking UV rays completely (C) are not accurate functions of sunscreen. Additionally, stimulating melanin production (D) is not a direct way in which sunscreen protects the skin from UV rays.

3. The term "unconditional" in the context of UBI signifies that

• A. The amount received would be based on individual income and living expenses.
• B. Recipients would be required to meet certain criteria to qualify for the program.
• C. The money would be provided without any restrictions on how it is spent.
• D. The program would be temporary and subject to periodic review and renewal.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The unconditional aspect of UBI refers to the lack of strings attached to its receipt, aligning with C.

4. What is the process by which a population gradually loses genetic variation?

• A. Founder effect
• B. Bottleneck effect
• C. Gene flow
• D. Speciation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: A) Founder effect: This occurs when a small group of individuals establishes a new population, leading to a loss of genetic variation compared to the original population. It does not necessarily result in a gradual loss of genetic variation in an existing population. B) Bottleneck effect: This process occurs when a population is drastically reduced in size, leading to a significant loss of genetic variation due to the limited number of individuals contributing to the gene pool. The reduced genetic diversity can have long-term effects on the population's ability to adapt to environmental changes. C) Gene flow: This refers to the movement of genes between populations, which can introduce new genetic variation and prevent populations from diverging. Gene flow does not lead to a gradual loss of genetic variation within a population. D) Speciation: This is the process by which new species evolve from existing species, often involving the accumulation of genetic differences that l

5. Balance the following redox reaction in acidic solution: I⁻ (aq) + Cr₂O₇²⁻ (aq) -> I₂ (aq) + Cr³⁺ (aq). Identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent.

• A. I⁻ is oxidized, Crâ‚‚O₇²⁻ is reduced
• B. I⁻ is reduced, Crâ‚‚O₇²⁻ is oxidized.
• C. Both I⁻ and Crâ‚‚O₇²⁻ are oxidized.
• D. Both I⁻ and Crâ‚‚O₇²⁻ are reduced.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: . I⁻ loses an electron (oxidation), Cr₂O₇²⁻ gains electrons (reduction).

6. She wants to ensure that every task is carried out as planned. Which of the following tasks is

• A. Instructing the members of the standards committee to prepare policies
• B. Reviewing the existing policies of the hospital
• C. Evaluating the credentials of all nursing staff
• D. Checking if activities conform to schedule

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because evaluating the credentials of all nursing staff is essential to ensuring that the right individuals are in place to carry out tasks effectively. This task directly contributes to maintaining a high standard of performance and ensuring that the team is qualified for their roles. In contrast, the other options focus on policies, reviews, and schedules, which are important but do not directly address the qualifications and capabilities of the staff responsible for task execution.
