1. It is required that he _____ payment immediately.

• A. make
• B. sends
• C. sent
• D. deliver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'make.' In this context, 'make' is the correct verb to use with 'payment.' The sentence structure requires a base form of the verb after 'required that.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'sends,' 'sent,' and 'deliver' do not match the structure needed in this sentence.

2. A gross is equal to 12 dozen. If Lanyard Farms sells 15 gross of eggs a week and packages them in one dozen egg containers, how many containers do they need for a week’s worth of eggs?

• A. 15
• B. 150
• C. 180
• D. 2,160

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Given that a gross is equal to 12 dozen, 15 gross of eggs would be equal to 15 * 12 = 180 dozen eggs. Since the eggs are packaged in one dozen egg containers, Lanyard Farms would need 180 containers for a week's worth of eggs. Choice A (15) is incorrect as it represents the number of gross, not containers. Choice B (150) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total number of containers needed. Choice D (2,160) is incorrect as it overestimates the number of containers required.

3. Divide: 5 ÷ 9 =

• A. 0.05
• B. 0.5
• C. 5
• D. 50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When dividing 5 by 9, you are finding how many times 9 can fit into 5. Since 9 is greater than 5, the result will be less than 1. Therefore, 5 ÷ 9 equals 0.555... which is approximately 0.5. Choice A (0.05) is incorrect because it implies a smaller value than the correct answer. Choice C (5) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 5 by 9. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it is a much larger value than the correct answer.

4. Which of the following is true about skeletal muscle?

• A. Skeletal muscle makes up 40% of the body's weight.
• B. Skeletal muscle attaches to bones by tendons.
• C. Muscle contraction is not involved in temperature regulation.
• D. Skeletal muscles contract only when in use.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct statement is that skeletal muscle attaches to bones through tendons, enabling movement. Tendons connect muscles to bones and allow the force generated by muscle contraction to be transmitted to the bones, facilitating voluntary movements. Choice A is incorrect because skeletal muscle typically makes up around 40-50% of an individual's body weight, not a fixed 40%. Choice C is incorrect as muscle contraction plays a vital role in temperature regulation by generating heat. Choice D is incorrect as skeletal muscles may have constant low-level contractions even at rest, known as muscle tone.

5. What structures are likely torn in a rotator cuff tear?

• A. Tendon and possibly ligament
• B. Muscle and possibly tendon
• C. Ligament and possibly muscle
• D. Tendon only

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In a rotator cuff tear, the most common structures torn are the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles. In severe cases, the tear may also extend to involve the surrounding ligaments. Therefore, the correct answer is A, as it accurately represents the structures that are likely to be affected in a rotator cuff tear. Choice B is incorrect as muscles are not typically torn in a rotator cuff tear. Choice C is also incorrect as ligaments are not the primary structures involved in a rotator cuff tear. Choice D is incorrect because a rotator cuff tear typically involves more than just the tendons.
