1. There are 800 students enrolled in four allied health programs at a local community college. The percentage of students in each program is displayed in the pie chart. What is the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program?

• A. 336
• B. 152
• C. 144
• D. 168

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program, you need to calculate 19% of 800. 19% of 800 is (19/100) * 800 = 152 students. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (336), Choice C (144), and Choice D (168) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct percentage of students enrolled in the respiratory care program as indicated by the pie chart.

2. What is the structure that connects the ovary to the uterus in the female reproductive system?

• A. Urethra
• B. Fallopian tube
• C. Vagina
• D. Cervix

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The fallopian tubes are the structures that connect the ovaries to the uterus in the female reproductive system. These tubes serve as a pathway for the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus, where fertilization typically occurs. Options (A) Urethra, (C) Vagina, and (D) Cervix are not the structures responsible for connecting the ovary to the uterus, making them incorrect choices for this question.

3. Jorgen learns that Eratosthenes was fascinated by the story of the Trojan War and attempted to determine the exact dates when this event occurred. Unfamiliar with the story of the fall of Troy, Jorgen decides to look into writings such as The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to locate these works?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 700
• D. 800

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Section 800 features works of literature, making it the best place for Jorgen to find The Iliad and The Odyssey. While the philosophy and psychology section (100) might contain references to these works, Jorgen would still have to go to the literature section to obtain the works themselves, as they are literary works. Similarly, the religion section (200) and the arts and recreation section (700) are not where these specific literary works would be located.

4. What is the average length of a human eyelash?

• A. 1 nanometer
• B. 1 centimeter
• C. 1 meter
• D. 1 kilometer

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The average length of a human eyelash is approximately one centimeter. A nanometer is too small to describe the length of an eyelash. A meter and a kilometer are much longer lengths and not suitable to describe the average human eyelash.

5. What type of sentence is the following: 'If it rains tomorrow, the picnic will be canceled'?

• A. Simple
• B. Compound
• C. Complex
• D. Compound-complex

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The given sentence, 'If it rains tomorrow, the picnic will be canceled,' is a complex sentence. It consists of an independent clause 'the picnic will be canceled' and a dependent clause 'If it rains tomorrow.' A simple sentence contains just one independent clause, a compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses, and a compound-complex sentence contains two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are incorrect for this sentence.
