1. What is the value of 0.0523 expressed as a fraction?

• A. 523/10000
• B. 523/1000
• C. 523/100
• D. 523/10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value over the place value of the last digit. In this case, 0.0523 can be expressed as 523/10000 since the last digit is in the ten-thousandths place. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they represent different decimal values and do not match the correct conversion of 0.0523.

2. A circle has an area of 121π in². Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi (π)?

• A. 11π in
• B. 22π in
• C. 44π in
• D. 5.5π in

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the circumference of the circle, we first need to determine the radius. Given that the area of the circle is 121π in², we use the formula for the area of a circle (A = πr²) to find the radius squared. So, r² = 121, which means the radius (r) is 11 in. The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula 2πr. Substituting the radius value of 11 in, we get 2π(11) = 22π in. Therefore, the correct answer is 22π in. Choice A (11π in), Choice C (44π in), and Choice D (5.5π in) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the circumference based on the given area of the circle.

3. Which of the following is NOT a way to write 40 percent of N?

• A. 0.4N
• B. N/40
• C. 2/5 N
• D. 40N/100

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: N/40. To find 40% of N, you multiply N by 0.4, so 0.4N is the correct representation. Choice B, N/40, is incorrect because dividing N by 40 does not give you 40% of N. Choice C, 2/5 N, is equivalent to 40% of N since 2/5 is the same as 40% when simplified. Choice D, 40N/100, is also correct since 40% can be represented as 40/100, which simplifies to 0.4, making 40N/100 another valid way to write 40% of N.

4. What is the sensory threshold?

• A. The smallest amount of stimulus required for an individual to feel a sensation
• B. The amount of stimulus required for an individual to feel pain
• C. The amount of stimulus required to cause an individual to move away from the stimulus
• D. The place from which the stimulus is coming

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The sensory threshold refers to the smallest amount of stimulus required for an individual to perceive or feel a sensation. It is the minimum level of stimulus intensity that is detectable by an individual. Choice B is incorrect because the sensory threshold is not specifically related to feeling pain but rather to perceiving any sensation. Choice C is incorrect as the sensory threshold is about perception and not necessarily physical reaction. Choice D is incorrect as it describes the source of the stimulus, not the threshold for perception.

5. Based on the information in the passage, which of the composers among The Five would the author likely agree was the most influential?

• A. Alexander Glazunov
• B. Modest Mussorgsky
• C. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
• D. Cesar Cui

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The passage highlights Rimsky-Korsakov's significant influence by mentioning that composers such as Alexander Glazunov, Sergei Prokofiev, and Igor Stravinsky studied under him. This demonstrates that Rimsky-Korsakov had a lasting impact on the development of these renowned composers. Choice A, Alexander Glazunov, is incorrect because the passage states that Glazunov studied under Rimsky-Korsakov, indicating he was influenced by him rather than being the most influential among The Five. Choice B, Modest Mussorgsky, is incorrect as the passage mainly focuses on his works and contributions but does not mention his influence on other composers. Choice D, Cesar Cui, is incorrect as he is considered one of the founders of the movement but is not highlighted for influencing other significant composers as Rimsky-Korsakov is. Therefore, based on the information provided, the author would likely agree that Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was the most influential among The Five.
