1. A student wants to rewrite the following sentence: Entrepreneurs use their ideas to make money. He wants to use the word money as a verb, but he isn’t sure which word ending to use. What is the appropriate suffix to add to money to complete the following sentence? Entrepreneurs __________ their ideas.

• A. –ize
• B. –ical
• C. –en
• D. –ful

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: '-ize'. When '–ize' is added to 'money', it forms the word 'monetize'. 'Monetize' means to turn something into money or profit. Therefore, the sentence should read: 'Entrepreneurs monetize their ideas,' which accurately conveys the intended meaning of using ideas to generate profit. Choice B, '–ical', is incorrect as it does not create a verb from 'money'. Choices C and D, '–en' and '–ful', are also incorrect as they do not form a verb related to 'money' in the context of the sentence.

2. Which type of muscle is responsible for voluntary movements?

• A. Smooth
• B. Skeletal
• C. Cardiac
• D. Involuntary

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The corrected question is asking about the type of muscle responsible for voluntary movements, which is skeletal muscle (Choice B). Skeletal muscle is under conscious control and is responsible for voluntary movements like walking or lifting objects. Smooth muscle (Choice A) is found in organs like the intestines and blood vessels, responsible for involuntary movements. Cardiac muscle (Choice C) is specific to the heart and is also involuntary. 'Involuntary' (Choice D) is a general term and does not specify a type of muscle responsible for voluntary movements.

3. Which of the following is NOT a typical component of healthy semen?

• A. Sperm
• B. Fructose (sugar)
• C. Prostaglandins
• D. Urine

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Healthy semen is composed of sperm, fructose (sugar), and prostaglandins. Urine is not a typical component of semen. While semen is ejaculated during sexual activity, urine is expelled through a separate pathway in the male reproductive system. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Urine.' Choices A, B, and C are all components found in healthy semen.

4. Which factor do colligative properties of solutions depend on?

• A. Concentration of the solvent
• B. All of the above
• C. Chemical identity of the solute
• D. Number of solute particles in solution

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Colligative properties of solutions depend on the number of solute particles in solution. These properties, such as boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, and osmotic pressure, are proportional to the number of solute particles present in the solution. The chemical identity of the solute or the concentration of the solvent does not influence colligative properties, making choices A and C incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is D, the number of solute particles in solution.

5. What type of sentence is "Because it was raining, the match was canceled?"

• A. Simple
• B. Compound
• C. Complex
• D. Compound-complex

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The given sentence, "Because it was raining, the match was canceled," is a complex sentence. It consists of one independent clause ('the match was canceled') and one dependent clause ('Because it was raining'). A simple sentence contains one independent clause with no dependent clauses. A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses but no dependent clauses. A compound-complex sentence has two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause, which is not the case here. Therefore, the correct classification for this sentence is a complex sentence.
