1. Jill saved $140 out of the $400 she earned in one month. What percent of her earnings did she save?

• A. 30%
• B. 35%
• C. 40%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage of her earnings that Jill saved, divide the amount saved ($140) by the total earnings ($400) and then multiply by 100 to find the percentage. Therefore, (140/400) * 100 = 35%. Jill saved 35% of her earnings. Choice A (30%) is incorrect because it underestimates the percentage saved. Choice C (40%) is incorrect as it overestimates the percentage saved. Choice D (25%) is incorrect for the same reason. The correct calculation is 140/400 = 0.35 * 100 = 35%.

2. The lateral side of the right knee would be ___________.

• A. the kneecap
• B. closest to the left knee
• C. farthest from the left knee
• D. on the underside of the knee

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The lateral side of the right knee is the side that is farthest from the left knee when looking at the knee joint from the front. The term 'lateral' refers to the side of the body that is farther away from the midline or center of the body. In this case, the lateral side of the right knee is on the outer side of the knee joint, away from the other knee. Choice A is incorrect as the kneecap is located at the front of the knee. Choice B is incorrect as it describes the medial side, not the lateral side. Choice D is incorrect as it refers to the underside, which is not related to the lateral aspect of the knee.

3. What is the passage primarily about?

• A. What we know about the Moon and its differences from Earth
• B. A comparison of the Moon and Earth
• C. The Moon’s effect on Earth
• D. The origin of the Moon

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'What we know about the Moon and its differences from Earth.' The passage discusses various aspects of the Moon, including its origin, gravitational influence on Earth, physical characteristics, lack of atmosphere, and surface features. It provides insights into what humans know about the Moon and highlights its differences from Earth. Choice B is incorrect because while the passage does compare certain aspects of the Moon and Earth, it primarily focuses on the Moon itself rather than a direct comparison. Choice C is incorrect as the passage briefly mentions the Moon's effect on Earth in relation to tides but does not primarily focus on this aspect. Choice D is incorrect as the origin of the Moon is mentioned in the passage, but it is not the primary focus of the text.

4. What does 'Ongoing' mean?

• A. Ended
• B. Continuous
• C. Delayed
• D. Occasional

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Continuous.' 'Ongoing' is used to describe something that is currently happening or continuing without interruption. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Ended,' 'Delayed,' and 'Occasional' do not reflect the continuous nature associated with 'Ongoing.'

5. Select the phrase in the following sentence that is not used correctly: He had never had to be on his own in the past.

• A. had never
• B. never had
• C. to be
• D. on his own

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The phrase 'to be' is not used correctly in the sentence. The correct phrase should be 'to be' in this context. The infinitive form of the verb 'be' is used after 'to.' In this sentence, the infinitive form 'to be' should follow 'had' to form the correct structure. Choices A, B, and D are all used appropriately in the sentence, focusing on the order and placement of the words in the context provided.
