1. Which word is not used correctly in the context of the following sentence: 'There is no real distinction between the two treatment protocols recommended online.'

• A. real
• B. among
• C. protocols
• D. online

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct word that should replace 'among' in the sentence is 'between' when referring to a distinction between two things. 'Among' is used when referring to more than two items or when the items are part of a group. In this context, 'between' is more appropriate as there are only two treatment protocols being compared.

2. Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? Fredericka always orders pancakes, but Louis prefers waffles.

• A. always
• B. orders
• C. but
• D. prefer

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'prefer' should be changed to 'prefers' to match the singular subject 'Louis.' The correct sentence should be: 'Fredericka always orders pancakes, but Louis prefers waffles.' Choice A 'always,' Choice B 'orders,' and Choice C 'but' are used correctly in the sentence and do not need any corrections.

3. In the world of pharmaceuticals, a recall policy is a policy involving the ___________.

• A. ability to remember
• B. the withdrawal of products
• C. manufacture of cosmetics
• D. effectiveness of customers

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the world of pharmaceuticals, a recall policy is a policy involving the withdrawal of products from the market, typically due to safety concerns, defects, contamination, or other issues that could potentially harm consumers. This process is essential to protect public health and ensure the safety and quality of pharmaceutical products. Choice A, 'ability to remember,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the concept of recalling products in the pharmaceutical industry. Choice C, 'manufacture of cosmetics,' is incorrect as it is unrelated to pharmaceutical recalls. Choice D, 'effectiveness of customers,' is also incorrect as it does not pertain to the purpose of a recall policy in the pharmaceutical field.

4. Eighty percent of the class passed with a 75 or higher. If that percentage equals 24 students, how many students were in the whole class?

• A. 18
• B. 30
• C. 36
• D. 60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If 80% of the class passed with a 75 or higher, and that equals 24 students, you can set up a proportion to find the total number of students in the class. Since 80% is equal to 24 students, 100% (the whole class) would be equal to (24/80) x 100 = 30 students. Therefore, the total number of students in the whole class is 30 / 80 x 100 = 36. Choice A (18) is incorrect as it does not match the calculation based on the information given. Choice B (30) is incorrect because it represents the intermediate calculation but not the total number of students in the class. Choice D (60) is incorrect as it is double the correct answer and does not align with the given information.

5. Convert 3/8 to a decimal.

• A. 0.25
• B. 0.25
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.375

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 3/8 to a decimal, divide 3 by 8: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375. The correct answer is 0.375. Choice A (0.25), Choice B (0.25), and Choice C (0.3) are incorrect because they do not represent the equivalent decimal value of 3/8.
