1. Which of the following quotes offers the best summary for the instructor's motive in sending the email to the students?

• A. By now, many of you have probably seen your grade and are a little concerned. (And if you're not concerned, you should be-at least a bit!)
• B. With each class comes a new challenge, however, and as any good instructor will tell you, sometimes the original plan has to change.
• C. The purpose of the group project is to allow students to work together and arrive at a stronger response than if each worked individually.
• D. At the beginning of the semester, I informed the class that I have a strict grading policy and that all scores will stand unquestioned.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. This quote best captures the instructor's motive in the email to adjust the original plan to better support the students. Dr. Edwards is offering alternative options, including extra credit projects and a group project, to help students improve their scores after the essay exam. These options aim to provide students with opportunities to enhance their grades and succeed in the course. Choice A focuses on students feeling concerned about their grades but does not address the instructor's motive. Choice C highlights the purpose of the group project but does not capture the instructor's motive for sending the email. Choice D emphasizes the instructor's strict grading policy but does not explain the motive behind offering alternative ways to improve scores.

2. How does an increase in mass affect the force required to produce the same acceleration on an object?

• A. Increases force required
• B. Decreases force required
• C. Has no effect on force required
• D. Causes unpredictable changes in force required

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Increases force required.' According to Newton's second law of motion, force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration (F = ma). Therefore, an increase in mass will require an increase in force to produce the same acceleration on an object. Choice B is incorrect because an increase in mass does not decrease the force required; it increases it. Choice C is incorrect as increasing mass does affect the force required. Choice D is incorrect as the relationship between mass and force is predictable according to Newton's laws of motion.

3. A consumer makes a $400 down payment on a television that costs $1,570. Which of the following is the number of months it will take to pay off the television with monthly payments of $100?

• A. 12
• B. 16
• C. 15
• D. 11

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After the $400 down payment, the remaining balance is $1,170. With monthly payments of $100, it will take 12 months to pay off the remaining balance. Therefore, the correct answer is 12 months. Choice B (16) is incorrect as it exceeds the required timeframe. Choice C (15) is incorrect as it is close but still one month over the correct timeframe. Choice D (11) is incorrect as it underestimates the time needed to pay off the remaining balance.

4. Which plane divides the body into left and right halves?

• A. Sagittal/Median Plane
• B. Frontal/Coronal Plane
• C. Transverse/Cross-Section Plane
• D. Horizontal Plane

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Sagittal/Median Plane. This plane divides the body into left and right halves. The Frontal/Coronal Plane (choice B) divides the body into front and back, while the Transverse/Cross-Section Plane (choice C) divides it into top and bottom. The Horizontal Plane (choice D) divides the body into upper and lower portions. Understanding these planes is essential in anatomy as they help describe the orientation and relationships of body structures.

5. An uncharged atom has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 and a mass number of 14. How many protons does it have?

• A. 14
• B. 6
• C. 8
• D. 12

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (6 protons). The electron configuration provided corresponds to the element carbon, which has 6 protons. The mass number does not affect the number of protons in an atom, so despite the mass number of 14, the atom still contains 6 protons. Choice A (14) is incorrect because the mass number does not determine the number of protons. Choices C (8) and D (12) are incorrect as they do not match the number of protons in a carbon atom.
