1. Which conclusion can the reader draw after reading this passage?

• A. The climate crisis has increased deaths from heatstroke.
• B. Heat exhaustion rarely occurs in dry environments.
• C. The cessation of sweat is not necessarily a positive sign.
• D. Temperatures below 90 degrees are usually not dangerous.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage notes that stopping sweating entirely is a serious sign that requires medical attention.

2. What does Exposure mean?

• A. Protection from external elements
• B. Contact
• C. Absorption
• D. Isolation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Exposure refers to coming into contact with external elements. Choice A is incorrect as exposure does not imply protection but rather contact. Choice C, absorption, refers to the process of soaking up or taking in something. Choice D, isolation, means being separated or kept apart from others, which is not synonymous with exposure.

3. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 3/4 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?

• A. 25 mL
• B. 22.5 mL
• C. 15 mL
• D. 20 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, multiply the number of ounces by 29.5735. 3/4 oz × 29.5735 ≈ 22.5 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.5 mL. Choice A (25 mL) is incorrect as it does not result from the correct conversion. Choices C (15 mL) and D (20 mL) are also incorrect conversions.

4. When the genotype consists of a dominant and a recessive allele, the phenotype will be like the _ allele.

• A. Dominant
• B. Recessive
• C. Both
• D. Neither

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When the genotype consists of a dominant and a recessive allele, the phenotype will be like the dominant allele. This is because dominant alleles typically mask the expression of recessive alleles. Therefore, the dominant allele will be expressed in the phenotype in most basic cases. The recessive allele will only be expressed phenotypically if the individual is homozygous recessive. Choice B, 'Recessive,' is incorrect because the phenotype will not be like the recessive allele in this case. Choice C, 'Both,' is incorrect because in simple dominant-recessive inheritance, the dominant allele will overshadow the recessive allele. Choice D, 'Neither,' is incorrect as the phenotype will resemble the dominant allele.

5. What is 60% of 90?

• A. 54
• B. 58
• C. 60
• D. 65

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 60% of 90, you multiply 90 by 0.60 (which is the decimal form of 60%). So, 90 * 0.60 = 54. Therefore, 60% of 90 is 54. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding 60% of 90.
