Question 1 of 5
In the 18th century, women were more likely to die in childbirth compared to the 21st century. What is a possible explanation for why women are less likely to die in childbirth in the present age?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because all the statements provide reasonable explanations for the decrease in mortality during childbirth in the 21st century. A: Cesarean sections can be life-saving in cases of complications like prolonged labor or fetal distress. B: Monitoring tools help detect issues early, allowing for timely interventions and prevention of complications. C: Good hand hygiene reduces the risk of infections that could lead to maternal mortality. Therefore, by combining the advancements in cesarean sections, monitoring tools, and infection prevention practices, modern healthcare has significantly reduced maternal mortality rates compared to the 18th century.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following statements is true about the immune system?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the immune system is responsible for protecting the body from infections by identifying and eliminating harmful pathogens. It helps the body recognize and respond to foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. The hypothalamus (Choice A) is not directly involved in immune system function. While the immune system can help remove toxins, its primary role is to combat infections, not filter toxins from the blood (Choice B). Although infections can sometimes trigger the production of more white blood cells, the immune system's primary function is not to stimulate blood cell production (Choice C).
Question 3 of 5
The acceleration of a falling object due to gravity has been proven to be 9.8 m/s�. A scientist drops a cactus four times and measures the acceleration with an accelerometer and gets the following results: 9.79 m/s�, 9.81 m/s�, 9.80 m/s�, and 9.78 m/s�. Which of the following accurately describes the measurements?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
If an organism is AB, which of the following combinations in the gametes is NOT possible?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. If an organism is AB, it means they have alleles A and B. In gametes, each gamete carries only one allele. Therefore, gametes with AA are not possible as they lack the B allele. Gametes with AB are possible since they can carry either A or B allele. Gametes with BB are not possible as they lack the A allele. Gametes with AB are possible as they can carry either A or B allele.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following best describes the statement: 'This flower is dead; someone must have forgotten to water it'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: An inference. This is because the statement "someone must have forgotten to water it" is not a direct observation but a conclusion drawn based on the observed condition of the dead flower. In making this statement, the speaker is connecting the lack of water to the flower being dead, which requires logical reasoning. A: A classification - This choice does not apply as the statement does not categorize or group anything. B: An observation - While the initial part of the statement is an observation (the flower is dead), the second part goes beyond just stating what is observed to drawing a conclusion based on that observation. D: A collection - This choice does not make sense in this context as the statement does not involve gathering or assembling items.
