1. What is the volume of water needed to fill a rectangular swimming pool with dimensions 10 meters by 5 meters and a depth of 2 meters?

• A. 50 cu m
• B. 100 cu m
• C. 150 cu m
• D. 200 cu m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the volume of the rectangular swimming pool, you need to multiply the length by the width by the depth. Volume = Length x Width x Depth. Therefore, Volume = 10m x 5m x 2m = 100 cubic meters. This means it takes 100 cubic meters of water to fill the pool. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume based on the provided dimensions.

2. A marathon runner is training for her next race. On her weekly weekend run she completes 21.4 miles and burns 2276 calories. What is her rate of calories burned per mile?

• A. 106.4
• B. 105.6
• C. 107.5
• D. 109.3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned by the total miles run: 2276 ÷ 21.4 ≈ 106.4 calories per mile. The correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation result. Therefore, they can be eliminated. It is essential to divide the total calories burned by the total miles run to determine the rate of calories burned per mile accurately.

3. What does Collusion refer to?

• A. Agreement
• B. Conspiracy
• C. Misunderstanding
• D. Honesty

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Collusion refers to a secret agreement or conspiracy, often for deceitful or illegal purposes. While choices A, C, and D may involve some level of agreement or understanding, collusion specifically implies a secretive and usually dishonest arrangement, making choices A, C, and D incorrect in this context.

4. What is the function of hemoglobin in red blood cells?

• A. To fight infections
• B. To transport oxygen
• C. To carry carbon dioxide
• D. To store oxygen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To transport oxygen.' Hemoglobin in red blood cells plays a crucial role in transporting oxygen. It binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to the body's tissues and organs for cellular respiration. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because hemoglobin's primary function is to bind and transport oxygen, not to fight infections, carry carbon dioxide, or store oxygen.

5. What is the meaning of Contrite?

• A. Guilty
• B. Regretful
• C. Shameful

'Shameful' (C) means feeling ashamed, which is related but not the same as feeling regret. 'Pleased' (D) means feeling satisfied or happy, which is the opposite of contrite.
