1. What is the complete subject in the sentence: Sandra’s principal reason for choosing the job was that it would be full-time and would offer benefits?

• A. Sandra’s principal reason for choosing the job
• B. Sandra’s principal reason
• C. Sandra’s principal
• D. Sandra

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The complete subject in a sentence includes all the words that describe the main focus of the sentence. In this case, the complete subject is "Sandra’s principal reason for choosing the job" as it encompasses all the relevant details about Sandra and her reason for selecting the job. Choice A is the correct answer because it provides the most comprehensive and specific information, making it the complete subject. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not include all the necessary elements to form the complete subject and do not convey the full context of the sentence.

2. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?

• A. Getting a job is easier now than it ever has been before.
• B. Earning money is much less difficult than managing it properly.
• C. Dr. Franklin advocated getting a job in a mill.
• D. Spending money is the greatest temptation in the world.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The main idea of the passage is that while making money may seem easy, managing it wisely is much more challenging. The author emphasizes the importance of spending less than what is earned to achieve financial stability. Choice A is incorrect as the passage focuses on the challenges of managing money, not on the ease of getting a job. Choice C is incorrect as Dr. Franklin is mentioned in the context of a quote about the simplicity of the road to wealth, not advocating getting a job in a mill. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not primarily discuss spending money as the greatest temptation, but rather highlights the difficulty in managing money effectively.

3. During which stage of meiosis II are sister chromatids separated, resulting in four genetically unique daughter cells?

• A. Prophase I
• B. Prophase II
• C. Anaphase I
• D. Anaphase II

Correct answer: D

Rationale: - Prophase I occurs in meiosis I, not meiosis II. During Prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material in a process called crossing over. - Prophase II is the stage where the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers start to reappear, preparing the cell for division. Sister chromatids are still attached during Prophase II. - Anaphase I is the stage in meiosis I where homologous chromosomes are separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell. - Anaphase II is the stage in meiosis II where sister chromatids are separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell, resulting in four genetically unique daughter cells. This is the stage where the final separation of genetic material occurs, leading to the formation of haploid daughter cells.

4. What is 0.16 as a fraction?

• A. 16\100
• B. 16\1000
• C. 4\25
• D. 4\50

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 0.16 into a fraction, you write it as 16\100, which simplifies to 4\25. This fraction is in its simplest form and accurately represents the original decimal value without further reduction. Choice A (16\1000) is incorrect because the fraction is not simplified, and Choice D (4\50) is incorrect as it simplifies to 2\25, not representing the original decimal value. Therefore, Choice C is the correct answer.

5. The tonsils and adenoids, located in the throat, are part of the:

• A. Lymphatic system
• B. Endocrine system
• C. Respiratory system
• D. Digestive system

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The tonsils and adenoids are part of the lymphatic system, not the respiratory, endocrine, or digestive systems. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in the body's defense against infections and diseases by producing white blood cells and lymphatic fluid, which help in filtering harmful substances. The respiratory system is primarily responsible for breathing and gas exchange in the body, the endocrine system regulates hormones, and the digestive system is involved in the breakdown and absorption of nutrients from food. Therefore, the correct answer is the lymphatic system.
