1. Identify the participial phrase in the following sentence: "Running through the park, she spotted a squirrel."

• A. Running
• B. through the park

2. What are chromosomes made of?

• A. DNA and RNA
• B. DNA and proteins
• C. Proteins and carbohydrates
• D. DNA only

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Chromosomes are structures found in the nucleus of cells that contain genetic material. They are made up of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which carries the genetic information, and proteins that help in the organization and packaging of the DNA. While RNA is involved in various cellular processes, it is not a major component of chromosomes. Carbohydrates are not a significant component of chromosomes. Therefore, the most accurate answer is B) DNA and proteins.

3. The process of mixing two or more substances to form a heterogeneous mixture is called:

• A. Dissolving
• B. Diluting
• C. Mixing
• D. Reacting

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Mixing results in a heterogeneous mixture where the components are physically distinguishable, unlike solutions where everything dissolves uniformly

4. A diabetic patient's blood sugar is 180mg/dL. Their usual insulin dose is 1 unit per 40mg/dL above 100mg/dL. How much insulin should be administered?

• A. 2 units
• B. 3 units
• C. 4 units
• D. 5 units

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Calculate the excess blood sugar above 100mg/dL: 180mg/dL - 100mg/dL = 80mg/dL. 2. Determine the insulin dose based on the patient's usual insulin dose: 80mg/dL / 40mg/dL = 2 units. 3. Add the calculated insulin dose to the patient's usual insulin dose: 1 unit (usual dose) + 2 units (calculated dose) = 3 units. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 units of insulin should be administered to the diabetic patient with a blood sugar level of 180mg/dL.

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 a risk factor for developing kidney stones?

• A. Consuming a diet rich in fruits and vegetables
• B. Maintaining adequate hydration with water
• C. Having a family history of kidney stones
• D. Regularly engaging in moderate exercise

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Having a family history of kidney stones is a risk factor for developing them because genetics play a role in kidney stone formation. Individuals with a family history are more likely to inherit genetic factors that increase the likelihood of developing kidney stones. While consuming a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, maintaining adequate hydration with water, and regularly engaging in moderate exercise are generally healthy habits that can help prevent kidney stones, they are not direct risk factors for developing them. Therefore, option C, having a family history of kidney stones, is the correct answer.
