1. What happens to the wavelength of a wave when its frequency increases while the speed remains constant?

• A. Wavelength increases
• B. Wavelength decreases
• C. Wavelength remains the same
• D. Wavelength becomes zero

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When the speed of a wave is constant and the frequency increases, the wavelength must decrease to keep the speed constant. The speed of a wave is determined by the product of frequency and wavelength (speed = frequency x wavelength). If the frequency increases while the speed remains constant, the wavelength has to decrease proportionally to maintain the speed unchanged. Therefore, as the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases to ensure that the speed of the wave remains constant. Choice A is incorrect because as frequency increases, wavelength decreases. Choice C is incorrect as the wavelength cannot remain the same when frequency increases while speed is constant. Choice D is incorrect as the wavelength cannot become zero under these conditions.

2. Which of the following is the meaning of the word bestowed as it is used in the passage?

• A. purchased
• B. forgotten
• C. accepted
• D. given

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'bestowed' in this context means to be given or presented with something. In the passage, it is mentioned that good powers were bestowed upon different animals by Epimetheus. This implies that these powers were given or presented to the animals. Choice A, 'purchased,' does not align with the context of the passage as the animals did not buy or acquire these powers. Choice B, 'forgotten,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the act of giving. Choice C, 'accepted,' is also incorrect as it implies that the animals willingly received these powers, which is not the case in the passage. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D: given.'

3. Which of the following is part of the cardiovascular system?

• A. Blood vessels
• B. Brain
• C. Kidneys
• D. Lungs

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Blood vessels are indeed part of the cardiovascular system. They are crucial components that facilitate blood circulation by carrying blood throughout the body. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), and blood. Blood vessels play a vital role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste products. The brain, kidneys, and lungs are not part of the cardiovascular system; instead, they belong to other body systems. The brain is part of the nervous system, kidneys are part of the urinary system, and lungs are part of the respiratory system. Therefore, the correct answer is blood vessels (Choice A). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not components of the cardiovascular system but belong to different body systems.

4. What is 0.45 liters in milliliters?

• A. 450 ml
• B. 45 ml
• C. 4.5 ml
• D. 0.45 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.45 liters is equivalent to 450 milliliters. Choice B, 45 ml, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.045 liters to milliliters. Choice C, 4.5 ml, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.0045 liters to milliliters. Choice D, 0.45 ml, is incorrect as it is the initial quantity in milliliters and not the result of the conversion.

5. Two friends get frozen yogurt. The ratio of yogurt to toppings is 4:3. If one of the friends has 4.5 oz of toppings in their bowl, what is the amount of yogurt in their dessert?

• A. 6 oz
• B. 5.5 oz
• C. 3 oz
• D. 3.5 oz

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The ratio 4:3 implies that for every 4 oz of yogurt, there are 3 oz of toppings. To find the amount of yogurt when the friend has 4.5 oz of toppings, we use the proportion: (4/3) × 4.5 = 6 oz. Therefore, the amount of yogurt in their dessert is 6 oz. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given ratio.
