1. Which of the following resources would help a reader gather information about economic trade during World War 1?

• A. News articles and textbooks
• B. Social media and photographs
• C. Atlases and works of art
• D. Almanacs and music

Correct answer: A

Rationale: News articles and textbooks would provide the most relevant historical data on economic trade during World War 1. During significant events like World War 1, news articles would have reported on the economic aspects, such as trade disruptions and policies. Textbooks that cover the period would also delve into the economic impacts of the war. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because social media, photographs, atlases, works of art, almanacs, and music are less likely to contain specific information about economic trade during World War 1. Social media did not exist during that time, photographs, atlases, works of art, almanacs, and music are more focused on visual, geographical, artistic, or general historical aspects rather than detailed economic data.

2. Out of 9 trips, a person chooses the longest route for 3 of them. What percentage of their trips is the longest route?

• A. 0.25
• B. 0.33
• C. 0.5
• D. 0.75

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of trips where the person chose the longest route, divide the number of longest route trips (3) by the total number of trips (9) and multiply by 100. This gives (3/9) * 100 = 33.33%, which can be rounded to 33%. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (0.25), C (0.5), and D (0.75) are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the percentage of trips where the longest route was chosen based on the given information.

3. What is the hypodermis composed of?

• A. Epithelial tissue
• B. Adipose and areolar connective tissue
• C. Collagen fibers
• D. Dense connective tissue

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Adipose and areolar connective tissue. The hypodermis, also known as the subcutaneous layer, is primarily composed of adipose (fat) and areolar (loose) connective tissue. These tissues provide insulation, cushioning, and energy storage. Epithelial tissue (Choice A) is not a significant component of the hypodermis, as it is mainly found in the epidermis and lining of internal organs. Collagen fibers (Choice C) are more abundant in the dermis, providing strength and support. Dense connective tissue (Choice D) is also present in the dermis but is not a major component of the hypodermis.

4. Which of the following sets of words correctly fill in the blanks in the sentence below: We cannot allow the budget cuts to _______ the plans to improve education; the futures of _______ children are at stake.

• A. effect; your
• B. affect; you're
• C. affect; your
• D. effect; you're

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, 'affect' is the correct verb meaning 'to influence,' and 'your' is the correct possessive pronoun. Therefore, the sentence should read, 'We cannot allow the budget cuts to affect the plans to improve education; the futures of your children are at stake.' Choice A is incorrect because 'effect' is a noun, not a verb, and 'your' is the correct possessive pronoun. Choice B is incorrect because 'you're' is a contraction for 'you are,' which does not make sense in this context. Choice D is incorrect because 'effect' should be 'affect' as the verb is needed to show influence.

5. Which of the following spellings is correct?

• A. Dependant
• B. Dependent
• C. Dependunt
• D. Dependent

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct spelling is 'dependent,' meaning someone who relies on another for support. Choice A, 'Dependant,' is a common misspelling. Choice B, 'Dependint,' is incorrect. Choice C, 'Dependunt,' is also incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Dependent.'
