1. What is the freezing point of water in degrees Celsius?

• A. 0°C
• B. 100°C
• C. 50°C
• D. 25°C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 0°C. The freezing point of water is 0°C under standard conditions. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the freezing point of water. 100°C is the boiling point of water, 50°C and 25°C are not related to the freezing point of water.

2. Solve for x: 3x + 2 = 14

• A. x = 4
• B. x = 2
• C. x = 6
• D. x = 3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 3x + 2 = 14, first, subtract 2 from both sides to isolate 3x: 3x = 12. Then, divide by 3 to solve for x: x = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is A, x = 4. Choice B, x = 2, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation. Choice C, x = 6, is incorrect as well since it does not satisfy the equation. Choice D, x = 3, is also incorrect as it does not satisfy the given equation.

3. A newspaper kiosk sells 10 varieties of newspapers from around the world. The average daily sales for some of the varieties are as follows: English language newspapers sell 25 each day, French language newspapers sell 1 each day, Korean language newspapers sell 16 each day, Japanese language newspapers sell 16 each day, and Russian language newspapers sell 22 each day. How many newspapers are sold each day?

• A. 368 papers
• B. 370 papers
• C. 500 papers
• D. 400 papers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total number of newspapers sold each day, add the sales for each language: 25 (English) + 1 (French) + 16 (Korean) + 16 (Japanese) + 22 (Russian) = 80. Multiply this by the number of language varieties (10) to get the total number of newspapers sold: 80 x 10 = 800. Therefore, the kiosk sells 800 newspapers each day, not 368 as erroneously stated. The correct answer is 800 papers.

4. A scientific illustrator uses a scale of 3:1 for drawings of insects. If the length of a cicada in the drawing is 6 centimeters, how long is the actual cicada in real life?

• A. 18 centimeters
• B. 6.3 centimeters
• C. 4.6 centimeters
• D. 4.2 centimeters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The scale of 3:1 means that for every 3 centimeters in the drawing, it represents 1 centimeter in real life. If the length of the cicada in the drawing is 6 centimeters, in real life, it would be 6 x 3 = 18 centimeters long. Therefore, the actual length of the cicada in real life is 18 centimeters. Choice B, 6.3 centimeters, is incorrect because it does not account for the scale factor. Choices C and D, 4.6 centimeters and 4.2 centimeters respectively, are also incorrect as they do not consider the 3:1 scale used in the drawing.

5. How many liters are in 2,000 milliliters?

• A. 4 liters
• B. 1 liter
• C. 2 liters
• D. 4 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 2 liters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 2,000 milliliters is equal to 2 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly doubles the conversion. Choice B is incorrect as it represents the amount in milliliters, not liters. Choice D is a duplicate of choice A, which is incorrect.
