1. Her mother asked her what she would do after she _____.

• A. graduated
• B. completes
• C. finishes
• D. finished

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'graduated.' In reported speech, the verb tense often shifts back, so 'graduated' (past tense) is the appropriate choice here. 'Completes' (present tense), 'finishes' (present tense), and 'finished' (past tense) are incorrect as they do not match the reported speech context where the verb tense typically shifts back. Therefore, 'graduated' is the most suitable choice to complete the sentence.

2. If 9 out of 75 band members missed practice, what percentage of band members missed practice?

• A. 10%
• B. 12%
• C. 15%
• D. 18%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage of band members who missed practice, divide the number of members who missed practice (9) by the total number of band members (75) and multiply by 100. (9/75) * 100 = 12%. Therefore, 12% of the band members missed practice. Choice A (10%) is incorrect because it is not the correct calculation result. Choices C (15%) and D (18%) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate percentage of band members who missed practice.

3. What percentage of her income is left after Mary spent 15%?

• A. 12%
• B. 85%
• C. 75%
• D. 95%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the percentage of income remaining after spending 15%, subtract the percentage spent from 100% (100% - 15% = 85%). Therefore, Mary has 85% of her income left, which aligns with answer choice B. Choice A (12%) is incorrect because it represents the remaining amount after spending 88% of her income. Choice C (75%) is incorrect as it does not account for the 15% already spent. Choice D (95%) is incorrect as it does not consider the amount spent by Mary.

4. Which muscle is involved in the flexion of the forearm?

• A. Biceps brachii
• B. Triceps brachii
• C. Deltoid
• D. Brachialis

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The biceps brachii muscle is the primary muscle responsible for flexing the forearm at the elbow joint. When the biceps brachii contracts, it causes the forearm to move towards the upper arm, resulting in flexion at the elbow. In contrast, the triceps brachii is responsible for extending the forearm, the deltoid muscle is primarily involved in shoulder movements, and the brachialis muscle also aids in flexion of the forearm but to a lesser extent compared to the biceps brachii.

5. Why was the roadway of the Golden Gate Bridge so dangerous to build?

• A. It was located above a fast-moving river.
• B. It had to be perfectly balanced to avoid collapse.
• C. The materials used were very unstable.
• D. It was built during bad weather.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The passage describes how the road had to be balanced during construction to avoid collapse into the bay. Choice A is incorrect as the Golden Gate Bridge crosses a strait, not a river. Choice C is incorrect as there is no mention of unstable materials. Choice D is incorrect as bad weather is not highlighted as a specific reason for the danger in building the roadway.
