1. What is a nit?

• A. abscess
• B. parasite
• C. bandage
• D. infection

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A nit is a kind of parasite, specifically the egg of a louse. Nits are typically found attached to hair close to the scalp and are commonly associated with head lice infestations. Choice A, 'abscess,' is incorrect as an abscess is a collection of pus caused by an infection. Choice C, 'bandage,' is incorrect as it is a material used for covering wounds. Choice D, 'infection,' is incorrect as it refers to the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in body tissues.

2. Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: 'Tracey wore her hair in a French braid, ____ was the style at the time.'

• A. among
• B. it
• C. that
• D. which

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'which' as it correctly introduces a defining clause describing the style of hair Tracey wore. 'Which' is used to provide additional information about the noun 'French braid' and helps specify the particular style among others. 'Among' (choice A) is incorrect as it is used to show a relation of one thing to many others. 'It' (choice B) is incorrect as it does not serve as a relative pronoun to introduce a clause. 'That' (choice C) is incorrect as it is not the most suitable relative pronoun to introduce a non-restrictive clause in this context.

3. The most important things in my life are making money, traveling abroad, and _____.

• A. living well
• B. to live well
• C. to be happy
• D. enjoying life

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'living well.' The sentence lists actions using '-ing' forms (making, traveling, and living), so 'living well' maintains parallel structure. Choice B ('to live well') breaks this structure by introducing an infinitive form. Choice C ('to be happy') introduces a new action not in parallel with the others. Choice D ('enjoying life') changes the structure and focuses on a different action not consistent with the previous activities listed.

4. How many centimeters are in 6 meters?

• A. 600 cm
• B. 60 cm
• C. 1000 cm
• D. 500 cm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert meters to centimeters, you need to multiply the number of meters by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, 6 meters is equal to 6 * 100 = 600 cm. Choice A is correct. Choice B (60 cm) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 0.6 meters to centimeters. Choice C (1000 cm) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 10 meters to centimeters. Choice D (500 cm) is incorrect because it is halfway between the conversions of 5 meters (500 cm) and 6 meters (600 cm).

5. If Latoya spends 15 minutes every day practicing her flute, how much time does she spend practicing over a period of two weeks?

• A. 1 hour 45 minutes
• B. 2 hours 30 minutes
• C. 3 hours 30 minutes
• D. 3 hours 45 minutes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Latoya practices her flute for 15 minutes every day. In two weeks (14 days), the total time spent practicing can be calculated as 15 minutes/day * 14 days = 210 minutes. To convert 210 minutes to hours, divide by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour): 210 / 60 = 3 hours 30 minutes. Therefore, Latoya spends 3 hours 30 minutes practicing her flute over a period of two weeks. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total time Latoya spends practicing over two weeks.
