1. In the electron cloud model, electrons occupy specific energy levels around the nucleus with varying probabilities. This model depicts electrons existing in distinct energy levels, not fixed orbits, with probabilities of finding them in specific regions.

• A. 2 protons and 6 neutrons
• B. 2 filled s orbitals and 6 filled p orbitals
• C. 2s orbitals with 2 and 6 electrons, respectively
• D. 4 filled electron shells

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The electron cloud model describes electrons existing in distinct energy levels, not fixed orbits. Option C correctly describes the electron configuration of an atom with 2s orbitals containing 2 electrons and 6 electrons in the 2p orbitals. This configuration aligns with the electron cloud model where electrons are found in specific energy levels with varying probabilities. Options A, B, and D do not accurately represent the electron cloud model.

2. Which of the following is the body cavity that contains the urinary bladder, urethra, and ureters?

• A. The thoracic cavity
• B. The pelvic cavity
• C. The abdominal cavity
• D. The spinal cavity

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, the pelvic cavity. The pelvic cavity houses organs related to the urinary and reproductive systems. The urinary bladder, urethra, and ureters are located in the pelvic cavity, making it the correct choice. The thoracic cavity contains the heart and lungs, while the abdominal cavity houses organs like the stomach and intestines. The spinal cavity, on the other hand, protects the spinal cord. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not house the specific organs mentioned in the question.

3. Which is the correct order of formed elements in blood from smallest to largest cell size?

• A. Erythrocytes, thrombocytes, and leukocytes
• B. Thrombocytes, leukocytes, and erythrocytes
• C. Thrombocytes, erythrocytes, and leukocytes
• D. Leukocytes, erythrocytes, and thrombocytes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct order of formed elements in blood from smallest to largest cell size is thrombocytes (platelets), erythrocytes (red blood cells), and leukocytes (white blood cells), making choice C the correct answer. Thrombocytes are the smallest, followed by erythrocytes, and then leukocytes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct order of cell size in blood formed elements.

4. Which of the following lobes of the brain is primarily responsible for vision?

• A. Frontal
• B. Occipital
• C. Parietal
• D. Temporal

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The occipital lobe is primarily responsible for processing visual information. It contains the primary visual cortex, which plays a key role in interpreting visual stimuli. The frontal lobe is more associated with functions such as decision-making and problem-solving, making choice A incorrect. The parietal lobe is involved in processing sensory information but not specifically vision, making choice C incorrect. The temporal lobe is responsible for functions like memory and auditory processing, so choice D is also incorrect.

5. Which of the following sentences shows correct word usage?

• A. It's often been said that work is better than rest.
• B. Its often been said that work is better than rest.
• C. It’s often been said that work is better than rest.
• D. Its often been said that work is better than rest.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, 'It’s' is the contraction for 'it is,' and 'than' is used correctly for comparisons (e.g., better than). Therefore, sentence C is correct because it uses 'It’s' (it is) and 'than' (for comparison) properly. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Choice A lacks the necessary apostrophe in 'It's' (it is) and incorrectly uses 'then' instead of 'than.' Choice B incorrectly uses 'Its' (possessive form) instead of 'It’s.' Choice D lacks the necessary apostrophe in 'It's' (it is) and incorrectly uses 'then' instead of 'than.'
