1. Which element has the highest atomic number?

• A. Uranium
• B. Hydrogen
• C. Radon
• D. Bismuth

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is Uranium. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. Among the options provided, Uranium has the highest atomic number, which is 92. Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1, Radon has an atomic number of 86, and Bismuth has an atomic number of 83. Therefore, Uranium is the element with the highest atomic number in the given choices.

2. What punctuation is needed in the following sentence to make it correct? Have you finished reading the lab results so we can schedule an appointment with the patient?

• A. Period
• B. Comma
• C. Question mark
• D. Exclamation mark

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct punctuation needed in the sentence is a question mark. The sentence is a question, asking whether the lab results have been read in order to schedule an appointment. Therefore, a question mark is needed at the end of the sentence to indicate that it is an inquiry. The period is used for statements, not questions. A comma would not be appropriate here as the sentence is not a list or a compound sentence. An exclamation mark would imply excitement or surprise, which is not the tone of the sentence.

3. Finishing isn't as important as answering correctly.

• A. Quick
• B. As quick
• C. So quickist
• D. Quickly

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, 'quickly' is the correct adverb form that should be used to modify the verb 'answering.' 'Quickly' is the adverb form needed here to describe how the action is performed. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not provide the appropriate adverb form required in the sentence.

4. What does Audible mean?

• A. Impossible to hear
• B. Able to be heard
• C. Visible
• D. Silent

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Able to be heard.' Audible refers to something that can be heard. Choice A, 'Impossible to hear,' is the opposite of the meaning of audible. Choice C, 'Visible,' is unrelated as it pertains to sight, not hearing. Choice D, 'Silent,' is also not correct as it refers to the absence of sound, which is different from something being able to be heard.

5. According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to what factor?

• A. the gravitational constant
• B. the distance between them
• C. the product of their masses
• D. the square of the distance between them

Correct answer: C

Rationale: According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. The equation is: F = G × (m₁ × m₂) / r², where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between them. Choice A is incorrect because the gravitational constant is a constant value. Choice B is incorrect because the distance between the objects affects the strength of the gravitational force inversely proportional to the square of the distance, not directly proportional. Choice D is incorrect as it represents the inverse square law, where the gravitational force decreases with the square of the distance between the objects.
