1. What is 80% of 55?

• A. 40
• B. 44
• C. 39
• D. 45

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find 80% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.8. Therefore, 80% of 55 is calculated as 0.8 × 55 = 44. Choice A (40), choice C (39), and choice D (45) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation for 80% of 55.

2. Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. One out of four doctors ___________ to this plan.

• A. subscribe
• B. subscribes
• C. subscribing
• D. are subscribed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the sentence 'One out of four doctors,' the subject is 'One,' which is singular. Therefore, the verb that follows should also be singular. The correct verb form in this case is 'subscribes,' not 'subscribe' or any other form. This subject-verb agreement rule ensures that the sentence is grammatically correct. Choice A 'subscribe' is incorrect as it is in the plural form and does not agree with the singular subject. Choice C 'subscribing' is in the gerund form and does not function as the main verb of the sentence. Choice D 'are subscribed' is in the passive voice and does not match the active voice required in this sentence.

3. Subtract 32 divided by 8\9.

• A. 36
• B. 32
• C. 40
• D. 44

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 32 ÷ (8\9) is the same as 32 × (9\8) = 36.

4. What is the average normal body temperature in degrees Celsius?

• A. 30°C
• B. 32°C
• C. 35°C
• D. 37°C

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The average normal body temperature in degrees Celsius is 37°C. This temperature is considered the standard measurement for the human body under normal conditions. It is essential to know this baseline temperature for monitoring health and detecting abnormalities such as fever. Choice A, 30°C, is too low for the average normal body temperature. Choice B, 32°C, is also below the standard normal body temperature. Choice C, 35°C, is closer but still lower than the average normal body temperature of 37°C.

5. The voice box may be called the ______

• A. Pharynx
• B. Larynx
• C. Trachea
• D. Esophagus

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct term for the voice box is the larynx. The pharynx is part of the throat involved in swallowing and breathing but not the voice production. The trachea is the windpipe responsible for air passage, and the esophagus is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. Therefore, in this context, the larynx is the most appropriate term.
