1. What is 0.5 liters expressed in milliliters?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.5 liters x 1000 = 500 ml. Choice A (50 ml) is incorrect as it would be the conversion of 0.05 liters. Choice C (5 ml) is incorrect as it would be the conversion of 0.005 liters. Choice D (0.5 ml) is incorrect as it is the original measurement in milliliters, not the converted value from liters.

2. Classifications of human tissues exclude:

• A. Epithelial tissue
• B. Nervous tissue
• C. Adipose tissue (a specialized form of connective tissue)
• D. Bony tissue

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Bony tissue. Classifications of human tissues typically include epithelial tissue, nervous tissue, and connective tissue types such as adipose tissue. Bony tissue, also known as bone tissue, is a specialized form of connective tissue that provides structural support and protection for the body. Therefore, it is not excluded from classifications of human tissues. Choices A, B, and C are valid types of human tissues and are correctly included in classifications of human tissues.

3. A farmer plans to install fencing around a certain field. If each side of the hexagonal field is 320 feet long, and fencing costs $75 per foot, how much will the farmer need to spend on fencing material to enclose the perimeter of the field?

• A. $2,240
• B. $2,800
• C. $3,360
• D. $4,480

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The field is a hexagon with six equal sides, each 320 feet long. To find the total cost of fencing material needed, multiply the cost per foot ($75) by the total perimeter of the field (6 sides x 320 feet). Therefore, the total cost will be $75 x 6 x 320 = $3,360. Thus, the farmer will need to spend $3,360 on fencing material. Choice A, $2,240, is incorrect as it does not account for the total perimeter of the field. Choice B, $2,800, is incorrect as it underestimates the total cost by not considering all sides of the hexagon. Choice D, $4,480, is incorrect as it overestimates the total cost by multiplying incorrectly or considering extra sides.

4. Which version of the sentence does NOT contain any misspelled words?

• A. The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.
• B. The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.
• C. The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.
• D. The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct version of the sentence is option D: 'The suspect remained detained while the police conducted their inquisition.' This option is correct as it does not contain any misspelled words. 'Inquisition' is spelled correctly in this option, while the other options have misspelled variations of the word. Option A, B, and C all contain misspelled versions of 'inquisition,' making them incorrect choices.

5. Which of the following does not describe a general trait of macromolecules?

• A. They can exist as single chains.
• B. They can be branched.
• C. They all contain carbon, hydrogen, and phosphorus.
• D. They are all used by the body.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. While many macromolecules contain carbon, hydrogen, and phosphorus, not all of them do. For example, lipids, a type of macromolecule, may not contain phosphorus. Choice A and B describe structural features that macromolecules can exhibit, whether as single chains or branched forms. Choice D is incorrect as not all macromolecules are used by the body, such as synthetic polymers or certain non-digestible fibers.
