1. The accident _____ if the motorist had obeyed the speed limit sign.

• A. could have happened
• B. never would have happened
• C. wouldn't have occurred
• D. could happen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'never would have happened.' This choice correctly expresses the hypothetical outcome that did not occur due to the motorist obeying the speed limit sign. The phrase 'never would have happened' is the most suitable option in this context as it indicates a past event that was prevented by following a certain condition. Choice A ('could have happened') is incorrect as it does not convey the same level of certainty and definiteness as 'never would have happened.' Choice C ('wouldn't have occurred') is close but lacks the emphasis on the event not taking place at all. Choice D ('could happen') is in the present tense and does not fit the context of a past hypothetical situation.

2. If they _____ that the weather was going to be so bad, they wouldn't have gone to the beach.

• A. knew
• B. had known
• C. knew
• D. could have known

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: had known.' In this conditional sentence, the past perfect tense is required to indicate that knowing about the weather should have happened before going to the beach. 'Knew' (choice A and C) is in the simple past tense, which doesn't convey the sequence of events accurately. 'Could have known' (choice D) is incorrect as it implies a possibility of knowing in the past, but it doesn't fit the context of the sentence where the emphasis is on prior knowledge before going to the beach.

3. A medication dosage is listed as 1/4 gram. What is the equivalent dosage in milligrams (1 gram = 1000 milligrams)?

• A. 125mg
• B. 250mg
• C. 375mg
• D. 500mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 1/4 gram is equivalent to 1/4 * 1000 milligrams (since 1 gram = 1000 milligrams). 1/4 * 1000 = 250 milligrams. Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milligrams is 250mg, which corresponds to option B. The other choices are incorrect because they do not correctly convert 1/4 gram to milligrams using the conversion factor of 1 gram = 1000 milligrams.

4. Which form of fermentation is used to produce beer?

• A. Lactic acid fermentation
• B. Acetic acid fermentation
• C. Propionic acid fermentation
• D. Ethyl alcohol fermentation

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Ethyl alcohol fermentation. During beer production, yeast metabolizes sugars in the wort to produce ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and carbon dioxide, which are responsible for the alcohol content and carbonation in beer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid, acetic acid fermentation produces acetic acid, and propionic acid fermentation produces propionic acid, none of which are used in the production of beer.

5. An object with a mass of 45 kg has momentum equal to 180 kg⋅m/s. What is the object’s velocity?

• A. 4 m/s
• B. 8.1 km/s
• C. 17.4 km/h
• D. 135 m/s

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The momentum of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass and velocity. Mathematically, momentum = mass x velocity. Given that the mass is 45 kg and the momentum is 180 kg⋅m/s, we can rearrange the formula to solve for velocity: velocity = momentum / mass. Plugging in the values, velocity = 180 kg⋅m/s / 45 kg = 4 m/s. Therefore, the object's velocity is 4 m/s. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the correct calculation based on the given mass and momentum values.
