1. Which of the following best describes a group of cells working together?

• A. Organelle
• B. Tissue
• C. Organ
• D. Organ system

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tissue. Tissue is a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function. Organelle refers to specialized structures within a cell, organ is a structure made up of different types of tissues working together, and organ system is a group of organs working together to perform complex functions. Therefore, tissue is the most appropriate term to describe a group of cells working together.

2. While researching Chomsky's Jewish heritage, Teddy wants to research traditional Judaism. Which section of the library would most likely contain the most relevant information?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: '200.' According to the Dewey Decimal System, religion falls under section 200. Traditional Judaism research aligns with religious studies, making section 200 the most suitable for finding relevant information. Choices A, C, and D do not directly relate to religious topics and are therefore less likely to contain information on traditional Judaism.

3. What type of intermolecular force is responsible for the high surface tension of water?

• A. Hydrogen bonding
• B. London dispersion forces
• C. Ionic bonding
• D. Metallic bonding

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The high surface tension of water is primarily due to the strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules. Hydrogen bonding is a specific type of intermolecular force that occurs between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom, like oxygen in water, and another electronegative atom nearby. This unique interaction results in a strong attraction between water molecules at the surface, leading to the cohesive forces responsible for the high surface tension of water. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because London dispersion forces, ionic bonding, and metallic bonding do not account for the high surface tension observed in water. London dispersion forces are relatively weaker intermolecular forces, while ionic and metallic bonding are types of intramolecular forces that do not directly contribute to the surface tension of water.

4. A bucket can hold 2500 mL. How many liters can the bucket hold?

• A. 0.25 L
• B. 25 L
• C. 2.5 L
• D. 250 L

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert milliliters (mL) to liters (L), you divide by 1000 since 1000 mL is equivalent to 1 liter. Therefore, 2500 mL is equal to 2.5 liters (2500 mL ÷ 1000 = 2.5 L). Choice A (0.25 L) is incorrect as it represents a conversion error by a factor of 10. Choice B (25 L) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies instead of dividing by 1000. Choice D (250 L) is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion by a factor of 100.

5. Lise is doing a research project on the various psychological theories that Sigmund Freud developed and on the modern response to those theories. To which section of the library should she go to begin looking for research material?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: '100.' Freud's theories fall under psychology, which is classified under the 100 section according to the Dewey Decimal Classification system. Section 200 is for Religion, 300 for Social sciences, and 900 for History, geography, and biography. Therefore, A is the most appropriate section for Lise to find research material related to Freud's psychological theories.
