1. What is the result of adding 7/21 + 10/21?

• A. 17/21
• B. 15/21
• C. 9/21
• D. 10/21

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When adding fractions with the same denominator, you simply add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. In this case, 7/21 + 10/21 = 17/21. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (15/21) is incorrect because it adds the numerators incorrectly. Choice C (9/21) is incorrect as it does not reflect the sum of the fractions provided. Choice D (10/21) is also incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the two fractions.

2. What is stated in this paragraph?

• A. Some men have harsh voices
• B. Relaxed people often have harsh voices
• C. Not everyone finds a harsh voice irritating
• D. Harsh voice qualities usually come from too much tension in the throat and jaw

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The paragraph explains that harsh voice qualities usually result from too much tension in the throat and jaw. It further discusses how tension tightens muscles, leading to unpleasant voice tones. While the paragraph addresses the issue of harsh voices, it does not mention that only some men have harsh voices (choice A) or that relaxed people often exhibit this quality (choice B). Additionally, the paragraph does not touch upon whether everyone finds harsh voices irritating (choice C), only stating that not everyone may be bothered by it.

• A. Do

4. What does Vacuous mean?

• A. Empty
• B. Full
• C. Dense

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Empty.' Vacuous means lacking intelligence, empty-headed, or devoid of substance. Choice B, 'Full,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of vacuous. Choice C, 'Dense,' means closely compacted or stupid, not vacuous. Choice D, 'Bright,' means giving out or reflecting a lot of light, not vacuous.

5. Tundra, savannas, grasslands, deserts, and rainforests are examples of what?

• A. Biomasses
• B. Biospheres

Each biome has its unique characteristics, such as temperature, precipitation levels, and types of vegetation, which define the ecosystem within that region. Biomasses refer to the total mass of living organisms in a given area, biospheres are the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships, and biodiversity represents the variety of life forms in a specific habitat.
