1. How many kilometers is 4382 feet?

• A. 1.336 kilometers
• B. 14.376 kilometers
• C. 1.437 kilometers
• D. 13.336 kilometers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert feet to kilometers, you need to divide the number of feet by 3280.84 (the number of feet in a kilometer). Therefore, 4382 feet is equal to 4382/3280.84 ≈ 1.336 kilometers. Choice B, 14.376 kilometers, is incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation. Choice C, 1.437 kilometers, is also incorrect, as it is slightly off from the correct conversion. Choice D, 13.336 kilometers, is significantly higher than the correct answer and does not align with the conversion factor.

2. What is the purpose of the use of repetition in the following passage? It was a night of little ease to his toiling mind, toiling in mere darkness and besieged by questions.

• A. It serves as a demonstration of Mr. Lanyon's mental state.
• B. It highlights the church bells mentioned in the story.
• C. It reflects Mr. Utterson's ambivalence.
• D. It emphasizes Mr. Utterson's anguish in failing to identify Hyde's whereabouts.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The repetition in the passage emphasizes Mr. Utterson's mental struggle and persistence as he grapples with his thoughts and questions. It conveys the intensity of his anguish and frustration in trying to identify Hyde's whereabouts, rather than reflecting Mr. Lanyon's or Mr. Utterson's ambivalence. The mention of church bells is not relevant to the passage, making choice B incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as the repetition underscores Mr. Utterson's emotional turmoil and his desperate search for answers.

3. Which hormone, produced by the pituitary gland, stimulates the growth and development of bones, muscles, and organs?

• A. Growth hormone (GH)
• B. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
• C. Prolactin
• D. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is Growth hormone (GH). GH, produced by the pituitary gland, is responsible for stimulating the growth and development of bones, muscles, and organs. It plays a critical role in regulating growth during childhood and adolescence by promoting cell division, protein synthesis, and tissue growth. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) functions to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones, while prolactin is involved in milk production. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is primarily responsible for reproductive functions like egg development in females and sperm production in males.

4. When rounding 2678 to the nearest thousandth, which place value would be used to decide whether to round up or round down?

• A. Ten-thousandth
• B. Thousandth
• C. Hundredth
• D. Thousand

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When rounding 2678 to the nearest thousandth, you would look at the digit in the thousandth place, which is 7. To decide whether to round up or down, you consider the digit to the immediate right of the place you are rounding to. Since 7 is equal to or greater than 5, you round up. Choice A, ten-thousandth, is incorrect as we are rounding to the thousandth place. Choice C, hundredth, is not relevant as we are not rounding to that place value. Choice D, thousand, is incorrect as it is the original number being rounded, not the place value used for rounding.

5. Joshua is taking a test with 30 questions. To qualify for an academic scholarship, he needs to answer at least 80% of the questions correctly. What is the minimum number of questions Joshua must answer correctly to qualify for the scholarship?

• A. 23
• B. 24
• C. 26
• D. 27

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To qualify for an academic scholarship, Joshua needs to answer at least 80% of the 30 test questions correctly. 80% of 30 is 24, so Joshua must answer at least 24 questions correctly to qualify for the scholarship. Choice A (23) is incorrect as it is below the minimum required percentage. Choices C (26) and D (27) are also incorrect as they exceed the minimum number of questions Joshua needs to answer correctly for the scholarship.
