1. Choose the meaning of the word quandary in the following sentence: 'Too many potential job choices put Martin in a quandary.'

• A. A place where rocks are mined
• B. A journey of discovery
• C. A state of uncertainty
• D. A major attempt or trial

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, the word 'quandary' refers to a state of uncertainty or confusion caused by being faced with a difficult decision or choice. This matches the meaning of option C. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'quandary' does not relate to a place where rocks are mined (A), a journey of discovery (B), or a major attempt or trial (D), but rather to a state of uncertainty or confusion.

2. What number is 80 125% of?

• A. 48
• B. 64
• C. 68
• D. 78

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number that 80 is 125% of, we can set up the equation: x = 80 / 1.25. Solving this equation gives x = 64. Therefore, 80 is 125% of 64. Choice A (48) is incorrect because it is not the correct value that 80 is 125% of. Choice C (68) is incorrect as it is not the value that satisfies the given percentage relationship. Choice D (78) is incorrect as it does not match the calculation result.

3. A pizza has a diameter of 40cm. What is its perimeter (circumference)?

• A. 62.8cm
• B. 125.5cm
• C. 125.6cm
• D. 251.2cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is obtained by applying the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is \(C = \pi \times d\), where \(d\) is the diameter of the circle. By substituting the given diameter of 40cm into the formula and performing the calculation, we find that the circumference of the pizza is 125.6cm.

4. What type of transport moves substances across the cell membrane using energy?

• A. Passive Transport
• B. Active Transport
• C. Facilitated Diffusion
• D. Osmosis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Active Transport. Active transport moves substances across the cell membrane by utilizing energy from the cell, typically in the form of ATP. This process allows the cell to move molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy expenditure. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because passive transport does not require energy input, facilitated diffusion involves the assistance of proteins but does not directly use energy, and osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules specifically, not substances, across a selectively permeable membrane.

5. I will call you when I _____ back from visiting my sister.

• A. get
• B. will get
• C. return
• D. came

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'get' because it appropriately indicates a future action in the sentence. In English, when 'when' is used in future time clauses, the following verb should be in the present simple tense to indicate a future event, making 'get' the correct choice. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Will get' is redundant after 'when' in this context, 'return' is not the appropriate tense for a future action, and 'came' is in the past tense, which is not suitable for a future event.
