1. Which of the following law firms would provide the necessary experience to pursue her claim and ensure the lowest overall cost?

• A. Smith and Jones
• B. Martin and Sons
• C. Williams Attorneys
• D. Thorn and Thomas

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Smith and Jones. In the provided extract, it mentions that Shia wanted to pursue a claim, and in the text, Smith and Jones specialize in worker's compensation legal issues. Furthermore, they offer a no-fee-unless-you-win service, ensuring the lowest cost for the employee. Choice B, Martin and Sons, Choice C, Williams Attorneys, and Choice D, Thorn and Thomas, are incorrect as they are not mentioned in the extract and do not offer the specific services required for the worker's compensation claim.

2. Which type of nutrients require minimal digestion before absorption?

• A. Carbohydrates
• B. Proteins
• C. Fats
• D. Vitamins

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A) Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates require digestion by enzymes in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine before they can be broken down into simple sugars for absorption. B) Proteins: Proteins need to be broken down into amino acids by stomach acid and digestive enzymes in the stomach and small intestine before they can be absorbed. C) Fats: Fats require bile from the gallbladder to emulsify them into smaller droplets for enzymes to break them down into fatty acids and glycerol for absorption. D) Vitamins: Vitamins are organic compounds that are already in a form that can be readily absorbed by the body without extensive digestion. They are absorbed directly into the bloodstream from the small intestine and do not require significant breakdown before absorption.

3. What is an actuary?

• A. A doctor who works in a hospital.
• B. The same as a hospitalist.
• C. An insurance agent who works in a hospital.
• D. A person who assesses insurance risks and premiums.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: An actuary is a person who assesses insurance risks and premiums. This is the primary role of an actuary, involving the analysis of financial consequences of risk. Choice A is incorrect as actuaries are not medical professionals. Choice B is incorrect as a hospitalist is a physician who works in a hospital, not related to actuarial work. Choice C is incorrect as actuaries are not insurance agents; they focus on risk assessment and not sales.

4. What is the scientific name for the building blocks of proteins?

• A. Residues
• B. Monomers
• C. Macromolecules
• D. Peptides

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids. - Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are considered monomers. - Monomers are the individual units that can be linked together to form larger molecules called polymers. - In the context of proteins, amino acids are the monomers that are linked together through peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains, which then fold into functional proteins. - Residues refer to the specific amino acids within a protein after certain modifications or cleavages have occurred, so it is not the correct term for the building blocks of proteins. - Macromolecules are large molecules made up of smaller subunits, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates, but they are not the specific building blocks of proteins. - Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, but they are not the fundamental building blocks of proteins.

5. What is 0.5 multiplied by 20?

• A. 10
• B. 15
• C. 20
• D. 25

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.5 and 20, you multiply them together. 0.5 x 20 = 10. This calculation involves multiplying a decimal (0.5) by a whole number (20). Choice A, '10', is the correct answer. Choice B, '15', is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the result of multiplying 0.5 by 20. Choices C and D, '20' and '25', are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation. This question assesses your ability to perform basic arithmetic operations involving decimals and whole numbers.
