1. What is the equivalent of 0.3 milliliters?

• A. 0.03 ml
• B. 0.3 ml
• C. 3 ml
• D. 30 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 0.3 milliliters is equivalent to 0.3 ml. This is a precise measurement commonly used in medical settings for administering small doses of liquid medication. It is important to understand and recognize the decimal point placement when converting between milliliters and other volume units. Choice A (0.03 ml) is incorrect as it represents a smaller amount than 0.3 ml. Choice C (3 ml) and Choice D (30 ml) are also incorrect as they are larger measurements and do not match the given amount of 0.3 ml.

2. Convert 0.025 mg to micrograms.

• A. 25 mcg
• B. 250 mcg
• C. 2.5 mcg
• D. 0.25 mcg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milligrams to micrograms, you multiply by 1000, not 10000. Therefore, 0.025 mg equals 25 mcg. Choice B (250 mcg) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 10000. Choice C (2.5 mcg) is incorrect as it incorrectly divides by 10. Choice D (0.25 mcg) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 10.

3. Which of the following statements most closely correlates with the definition of the term working man?

• A. A working man is not someone who works for institutions or corporations, but someone who is well-versed in the workings of the soul.
• B. A working man is someone who is probably not involved in social activities because the physical demand for work is too high.
• C. A working man is someone who works for wages among the middle class.
• D. The working man has historically taken to the field, to the factory, and now to the screen.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Option D provides a succinct summary of the historical shifts in the type of work commonly associated with the 'working man.' It references how the working man has transitioned from agricultural fields to factories and eventually to modern society's dependence on technology, represented by the 'screen.' This progression highlights the evolution of labor and the changing landscape of work over time. Choices A, B, and C do not accurately capture the essence of a working man's historical journey through various types of labor and the societal changes that have influenced it.

4. How are the bones of the skull classified?

• A. Long bones
• B. Short bones
• C. Flat bones
• D. Irregular bones

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The bones of the skull are classified as flat bones. Flat bones are thin, flattened, and usually curved bones that provide protection to underlying organs and have a large surface area for muscle attachment. The skull bones fit this description as they protect the brain and have a broad surface for muscle attachment. Choice A (Long bones), B (Short bones), and D (Irregular bones) are incorrect classifications. Long bones are typically found in the extremities like the arms and legs, short bones are cube-shaped like the wrist and ankle bones, and irregular bones have complex shapes like the vertebrae. These classifications do not describe the bones of the skull, which are predominantly flat bones.

5. Please don't take what I said so personally. Which of the following parts of speech is 'personally' as used above?

• A. Article
• B. Adjective
• C. Verb
• D. Adverb

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the sentence, 'personally' is modifying the verb 'take,' indicating how the action is done. Adverbs often answer questions like how, when, where, and to what extent. 'Personally' in this context is an adverb, making choice D the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as 'personally' does not function as an article (a, an, the), adjective (describing a noun), or verb (action word) in this sentence.
