1. How many electrons are shared in a single covalent bond?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: '2'. In a single covalent bond, two electrons are shared between two atoms. Each atom contributes one electron to form the bond, resulting in the sharing of a total of two electrons. Choice A is incorrect because a single covalent bond involves the sharing of two electrons, not one. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct number of electrons shared in a single covalent bond.

2. What is the average of the numbers 14, 73, and 7?

• A. 28.57
• B. 30.57
• C. 29.56
• D. 31.33

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Adding 14 + 73 + 7 gives a total of 94. To find the average, we divide the sum by the number of values (3), which equals 31.33. Rounding this average to two decimal places gives us 31.33, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the average of the given numbers. Choice A is close to the sum of the numbers, not the average. Choices B and C are also not correct averages calculated from the provided numbers.

3. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? I like the way the bride’s stationery complements her wedding decor.

• A. bride’s
• B. stationery
• C. complements
• D. decor

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'complements' is not spelled correctly in the context of the sentence. The correct spelling should be 'complements,' which means 'enhances or goes well with.' 'Compliments' in this context would refer to expressions of praise or admiration. The other choices ('bride’s,' 'stationery,' 'decor') are correctly spelled and fit the context of the sentence.

4. The height of a building is 150 feet. If each floor of the building is 12 feet high, how many floors are in the building?

• A. 13 floors
• B. 15 floors
• C. 10 floors
• D. 18 floors

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the number of floors in the building, divide the total height of the building (150 feet) by the height of each floor (12 feet). 150 feet ÷ 12 feet per floor = 12.5 floors. Since floors cannot be in fractions, the answer is rounded down to the nearest whole number, which is 13 floors. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 13 floors. Choice B (15 floors) is incorrect because the calculation results in 12.5 floors, which should be rounded down. Choices C (10 floors) and D (18 floors) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division result and rounding down process.

5. Temperature Conversion & Interpretation: A patient's body temperature is 102°F. Convert this to °C and assess if it indicates a fever.

• A. 37�C (Normal)
• B. 39�C (Low-grade fever)
• C. 39�C (Fever)
• D. 42�C (Hyperthermia)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: 1. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. 2. Given that the patient's body temperature is 102°F, we can calculate the equivalent temperature in Celsius: °C = (102 - 32) x 5/9 °C = 70 x 5/9 °C = 350/9 °C ≈ 38.9°C, which can be rounded to 39°C. 3. A body temperature of 39°C is considered to indicate a fever. Normal body temperature typically ranges from 36.1°C to 37.2°C, so a temperature of 39°C is higher than the normal range and suggests a fever. 4. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not reflect the conversion of 102°F to °C
