1. Enzymes are typically _ _.

• A. Fats
• B. Proteins
• C. Sugars
• D. Neurons

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Enzymes are typically proteins that act as biological catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions in living organisms. While most enzymes are made of proteins, a few exceptions, known as ribozymes, are made of RNA. Proteins are composed of amino acids arranged in specific sequences that give enzymes their unique shape and functionality. Choice A, 'Fats,' is incorrect as enzymes are not typically composed of fats. Choice C, 'Sugars,' is incorrect as enzymes are not typically composed of sugars. Choice D, 'Neurons,' is incorrect as neurons are a type of cell in the nervous system, not typically associated with enzymes.

2. How many grams are in 10 kilograms?

• A. 10,000 grams
• B. 100 grams
• C. 1000 grams
• D. 100,000 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10,000 grams. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to find the number of grams in 10 kilograms, you multiply 10 (kilograms) by 1,000 (grams/kilogram) to get 10,000 grams. Choice B (100 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice C (1000 grams) is incorrect as it is equal to 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice D (100,000 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 100 kilograms, not 10 kilograms.

3. What is the result of the addition: 34 + 4 + 234?

• A. 70.2
• B. 230.72
• C. 234.74
• D. 272

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Adding the given numbers together: 34 + 4 + 234 = 272. The correct sum is 272. Choice A, 70.2, is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate addition of the numbers. Choice B, 230.72, is incorrect as well. Choice C, 234.74, is also incorrect since the correct sum is 272, not 234.74.

4. Which word means TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING BEFORE MAKING A DECISION?

• A. Imply
• B. Transgress
• C. Allay
• D. Ruminate

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'ruminate' means to think deeply about something before making a decision. It specifically implies reflecting or pondering carefully on a matter, indicating a thoughtful consideration process. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Imply' means to suggest indirectly, 'transgress' means to go beyond limits or boundaries, and 'allay' means to diminish or put to rest feelings of fear or suspicion. These words do not convey the concept of thoughtful contemplation before making a decision.

5. Multiply 12 by 15 and express the result as a decimal:

• A. 0.0018
• B. 0.018
• C. 0.18
• D. 1.8

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 12 and 15, you simply multiply them together. 12 multiplied by 15 equals 180. To express 180 as a decimal, you divide by 100. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they represent values that are not the correct result of multiplying 12 by 15 and converting it to a decimal.
