1. What is 0.5 x 200?

• A. 100
• B. 50
• C. 150
• D. 200

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.5 and 200, you multiply the two numbers, which equals 100. The correct answer is A. Choice B, 50, is the result of multiplying 0.5 by 100 instead of 200. Choice C, 150, is the result of adding 0.5 and 200 instead of multiplying them. Choice D, 200, is the second number in the multiplication operation and not the correct product.

2. Which pronoun would not work in the following sentence? 'I asked a colleague to bring it to you.'

• A. my
• B. our
• C. your
• D. whose

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the sentence 'I asked a colleague to bring it to you,' the pronoun 'whose' does not fit grammatically. The pronoun 'whose' is used to indicate possession or belonging to someone, which is not relevant in this context. The other pronouns 'my,' 'our,' and 'your' are all appropriate to use in this sentence based on the context of the sentence. Therefore, 'whose' is the correct answer as it does not work in the given sentence.

3. How do you convert pounds to kg and kg to pounds?

• A. Multiply by 2.2 for pounds; divide by 2.2 for kg
• B. Multiply by 2 for pounds; divide by 2 for kg
• C. Multiply by 1.8 for pounds; divide by 1.8 for kg
• D. Multiply by 1.5 for pounds; divide by 1.5 for kg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert pounds to kg, you need to divide by 2.2, not multiply. Similarly, to convert kg to pounds, you should multiply by 2.2. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they provide incorrect conversion factors for pounds and kg, leading to inaccurate results.

4. Dendrites are finger-like extensions found on

• A. Muscle cells
• B. Connective tissue cells
• C. Neurons
• D. Epithelial cells

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Dendrites are the branched extensions of neurons that receive signals from other neurons and transmit those signals to the cell body. They play a crucial role in the communication process within the nervous system, allowing neurons to communicate with each other and integrate incoming signals to generate responses. The other choices are incorrect because dendrites specifically belong to neurons, not muscle cells, connective tissue cells, or epithelial cells.

• A. 49%
• B. 23%
• C. 18%
• D. 10%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (23%). The information was obtained from the pie chart which indicated that 23% of the funds were allocated to support construction costs. Choice A (49%), Choice C (18%), and Choice D (10%) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate percentage designated for construction costs according to the data provided.
