1. What is the volume of an Egyptian model pyramid with a square base side length of 10cm and a height of 8cm?

• A. 20 cu cm
• B. 40 cu cm
• C. 80 cu cm
• D. 160 cu cm

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the volume of a pyramid, we use the formula: Volume = (1/3) * base area * height. First, calculate the base area by squaring the base side length: 10cm * 10cm = 100 sq cm. Substitute the values into the formula: Volume = (1/3) * 100 sq cm * 8cm = 80 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 160 cu cm. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the volume of the pyramid based on the given dimensions.

2. Which parts of the heart are separated by the mitral valve?

• A. Left atrium and right atrium
• B. Right atrium and right ventricle
• C. Left ventricle and right ventricle
• D. Left atrium and left ventricle

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The mitral valve, also known as the bicuspid valve, separates the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. Its primary function is to prevent the backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium during the heart's contraction. Therefore, option D, 'Left atrium and left ventricle,' is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the parts separated by the mitral valve.

3. Another word for CONSISTENCY is?

• A. Appearance
• B. Volatility
• C. Thickness
• D. Color

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Consistency refers to the quality of staying the same in behavior or level. Thickness is a synonym for consistency as it implies a state of being dense, compact, or solid throughout, which aligns with the idea of staying the same. Conversely, appearance, volatility, and color do not directly relate to the concept of consistency. 'Appearance' refers to how something looks, 'volatility' refers to how easily something changes, and 'color' refers to the hue or shade of something, none of which capture the essence of consistency.

4. What is the normal body temperature in Fahrenheit?

• A. 96°F
• B. 98.6°F
• C. 100°F
• D. 95°F

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The normal body temperature for humans is 98.6°F, which is equivalent to 37°C. This temperature is considered the average baseline for most individuals when measured orally. Choice A (96°F) is too low for normal body temperature. Choice C (100°F) is too high for normal body temperature. Choice D (95°F) is also lower than the normal body temperature range. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 98.6°F.

5. Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: 'After waking up, Dean eyed the cheesecake ____.'

• A. hungry
• B. hungriest
• C. hungrily
• D. more hungry

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct adverb to describe Dean's action of eyeing the cheesecake is 'hungrily.' Adverbs modify verbs, in this case, 'eyed,' making the sentence grammatically correct. 'Hungry' (choice A) is an adjective and does not fit the sentence structure. 'Hungriest' (choice B) is a superlative adjective and is not suitable to modify the verb 'eyed.' 'More hungry' (choice D) is a comparative construction and is also not the correct form to modify the verb.
