Refer to the following information and table.
The table below indicates the results of a preliminary study of a flu medication (RX). The subjects were randomly selected groups of males, ages 50­70, residing in a North American city with a population of more than one million people.
Exhibit:

Based on the data in the chart and the information provided, which treatment appeared to be most effective in treating the early stages of the flu in these subjects?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D
  5. E

Answer(s): D



The energy of an earthquake may cause other catastrophic events that continue long after the ground stops shaking. For instance, fires caused after the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 killed more than 200 people. However, not all deaths are necessarily confined to the immediate area of an earthquake. The effects of a Chilean earthquake in 1960--the strongest ever recorded--killed hundreds of people who lived thousands of miles away, from Hawaii, the Philippines, and Japan.
Which event was most likely the reason for the loss of life in Hawaii, the Philippines, and Japan in 1960?

  1. Telephone lines went down between Chile and the rest of the world.
  2. Massive ocean waves caused by the quake flooded low-lying areas.
  3. Forest fires that started in Chile spread to Hawaii and Japan.
  4. Airplanes flying from Chile crashed in Hawaii and the Philippines.
  5. The quake was not reported in newspapers or on radio or TV.

Answer(s): B



In the gear arrangement shown at the left, turning gear A will turn gear B in the direction marked with arrows.


Which of the following will cause gear B to turn more rapidly?

  1. turning gear A more slowly
  2. putting a gear of smaller diameter at B
  3. using a much more dense metal in gear B than gear A
  4. using gears that have an equal number of "teeth"
  5. putting a gear of larger diameter at B

Answer(s): B



Plant and animal cells have some structural differences. One of these differences is a rigid structure that helps support and protect plant cells. The diagram below shows a plant and an animal cell.

Wood, made up of plant cells, is a strong construction material. Based on the information and diagram, which structure enables plant cells to be used as construction material?

  1. nucleus
  2. cell wall
  3. mitochondria
  4. cytoplasm
  5. cell membrane

Answer(s): B



-- Exhibit --
The carbon cycle is illustrated above. Two of the essential processes involved are photosynthesis in green plants and algae and respiration by almost all organisms. Respiration, as well as burning and other natural decomposition (breakdown) processes, contributes to the amount of CO2 in the air and soil. Photosynthesis uses up CO2 and produces O2, which, in turn, is used up in respiration and the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas.


-- Exhibit --
Based on the information and diagram, which process does not release CO2?

  1. human respiration
  2. burning fossil fuels
  3. photosynthesis
  4. animal respiration
  5. auto exhaust

Answer(s): C
