1. What is 0.5 liters equivalent to?

• A. 500 ml
• B. 50 ml
• C. 5 ml
• D. 0.5 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 0.5 liters is equivalent to 500 milliliters. This conversion is straightforward because 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters. Choice A is correct because it accurately converts 0.5 liters into milliliters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert the given volume into milliliters.

2. The patient was experiencing intraocular pressure. Based on the analysis of word parts, what is the meaning of 'intraocular' as used in the sentence above?

• A. Within the eyes
• B. Between the eyes
• C. Above the eyes
• D. Below the eyes

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'intraocular' is derived from 'intra-' meaning within and 'ocular' referring to the eyes. Therefore, 'intraocular' means within the eyes. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'intraocular' based on the analysis of word parts.

3. What is the formula to calculate acceleration?

• A. Acceleration = Mass/Force
• B. Acceleration = Force/Mass
• C. Acceleration = Time/Distance
• D. Acceleration = Time Change in Velocity

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. The correct formula to calculate acceleration is Acceleration = Time Change in Velocity. This formula specifically represents how much an object's velocity changes over a specified time period, providing a measure of the object's speed change rate. Choices A and B are incorrect as they do not represent the relationship between acceleration and time change in velocity. Choice C is incorrect as it involves time and distance, which are not directly related to acceleration.

4. Which of these examples shows incorrect use of subject-verb agreement?

• A. Neither of the cars is parked on the street.
• B. Both of my kids are going to camp this summer.
• C. Any of your friends are welcome to join us on the trip in November.
• D. Each of the clothing options is appropriate for the job interview.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The sentence 'Neither of the cars is parked on the street' is incorrect in terms of subject-verb agreement. The subject 'Neither' is singular, so the verb should also be singular, which should be 'is' instead of 'are.' The correct sentence should be 'Neither of the cars is parked on the street.' Choices B, C, and D demonstrate correct subject-verb agreement. In choice B, 'Both' is plural and agrees with the plural verb 'are.' In choice C, 'Any' is singular and agrees with the singular verb 'are.' In choice D, 'Each' is singular and agrees with the singular verb 'is.'

5. What defines a composite number?

• A. A number with only two factors
• B. A number that is a fraction
• C. A number with more than 2 factors
• D. A number with exactly two factors

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A composite number is a positive integer greater than one that has more than two factors. Choice A is incorrect because a number with only two factors is a prime number. Choice B is incorrect as being a fraction does not define a composite number. Choice D is incorrect because a number with exactly two factors is a prime number, not a composite number.
