1. Which of the following is not part of the axial skeletal system?

• A. the skull
• B. the ribs
• C. the breastbone
• D. the radius

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, the radius. The axial skeleton comprises bones located along the central axis of the body. It includes the skull, ribs, breastbone (sternum), vertebrae, and sacrum. The radius, on the other hand, is a bone of the forearm, part of the appendicular skeleton. The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the limbs and their girdles, not the central axial bones.

2. Subtract 12 - 7 & 4\5.

• A. 4 & 4\5
• B. 5 & 4\5
• C. 4 & 1\5
• D. 5 & 1\5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 12 - 7 & 4\5 equals 4 & 1\5.

3. What number is 98 175% of?

• A. 48
• B. 52
• C. 54
• D. 56

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the number that 98 is 175% of, we can set up the equation: x = 1.75 * x. By solving this equation, we get x = 56. Therefore, 98 is 175% of 56. Choice D, 56, is the correct answer as it represents the number that satisfies the given condition. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result in 98 when multiplied by 1.75.

4. A farmer wants to plant trees at the outside boundaries of his rectangular field with dimensions 650 meters × 780 meters. Each tree requires 5 meters of free space all around it from the stem. How much free area will be left?

• A. 478,800 m²
• B. 492,800 m²
• C. 507,625 m²
• D. 518,256 m²

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the area taken by the trees, we need to account for the space each tree requires. Each tree needs 5 meters of free space all around it, totaling 10 meters added to each dimension. Therefore, the new dimensions of the field are (650-10) meters by (780-10) meters. Calculating the area of the new field: (640m × 770m = 492,800m²). To find the free area remaining, subtract the new field's area from the original field's area: 507,000m² - 492,800m² = 14,200m². Therefore, the free area left after planting the trees is 14,200m². Choice A is the correct answer as it represents the free area left after planting the trees.

5. A patient who is Querulous might be guilty of __________

• A. Complaining
• B. Sleeping
• C. Shouting
• D. Crying

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Complaining.' Querulous means to be habitually complaining or whining. It is characterized by a tendency to find fault or raise petty objections. This behavior aligns with the definition of being querulous. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the meaning of querulous. Sleeping, shouting, or crying are not behaviors typically associated with being querulous.
