1. Your graduating grade point average (GPA) is a 2.8 (out of 4).  You should reveal this on your resume.

Explanation

Revealing a GPA of 2.8 on a resume may not be advisable as it is below average and may not create a positive impression on potential employers. It is generally recommended to only include GPA on a resume if it is above a certain threshold, such as 3.0 or higher. By omitting a lower GPA, it allows the applicant to focus on other strengths and qualifications that may be more relevant and appealing to employers.

The correct answer is "A hot, a neutral and a ground."

This combination of wires is commonly found in residential electrical systems to ensure safe and efficient electricity distribution.

Submit
3. The accepted "normal" blood pressure is:

Explanation

The accepted "normal" blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. This is considered normal because it falls within the range of healthy blood pressure readings. The top number, 120, represents the systolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats and pumps blood. The bottom number, 80, represents the diastolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. A blood pressure reading of 120/80 mm Hg indicates that the person has a healthy blood pressure level.

Submit
5. A friend of yours is stung by a bee and has a life-threatening allergic reaction. You're hours away from getting good medical help, but you're fortunate to have some of this to give him in the mean time:

Explanation

Benadryl is the correct answer because it is an antihistamine medication that can help alleviate the symptoms of an allergic reaction, including those that are life-threatening. It can help reduce swelling, itching, and hives caused by the bee sting. Sudafed, Tylenol, and Tums are not suitable for treating an allergic reaction and would not provide the necessary relief in this situation.

Explanation

Asking for permission before attempting the first kiss is not necessary in all situations. It depends on the individuals involved and the context of the situation.

Ultimately, it is important to communicate and gauge the comfort levels of both parties before initiating any physical contact.

Submit
8. The four primary filters in your car are:

Explanation

The correct answer is air, water, oil, gas. These four filters are essential components in a car's maintenance. The air filter removes impurities from the air before it enters the engine, ensuring proper combustion. The water filter helps to keep the coolant system clean and free from contaminants. The oil filter removes dirt and debris from the engine oil, preventing engine damage. Lastly, the gas filter removes impurities from the fuel before it reaches the engine, ensuring optimal performance.

Submit
9. When writing about your job experience, it’s best to begin your sentences with what type of words, and why?

Explanation

When writing about your job experience, it is best to begin your sentences with action verbs because they imply accomplishment. By using action verbs, you are able to convey the specific tasks and responsibilities you had in your previous job, highlighting your achievements and contributions. This helps to demonstrate your skills and abilities to potential employers, making your job experience more impactful and impressive. Starting sentences with action verbs also adds a sense of dynamism and energy to your writing, making it more engaging and compelling for the reader.

Submit
10. In order to pass through airport security, all liquids, gels and aerosols must be in ___ ounce or smaller containers. .

Explanation

In order to pass through airport security, all liquids, gels, and aerosols must be in 3 oz. or smaller containers. This restriction is in place to comply with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations, which limit the amount of liquids that passengers can bring in their carry-on bags. This rule helps to ensure the safety and security of air travel by reducing the risk of potential threats posed by larger quantities of liquids.

Submit
11. You need to test an egg to see if it’s spoiled.  If it sinks in bowl of water, it’s most likely spoiled.

Explanation

If an egg sinks in a bowl of water, it is actually a sign that the egg is fresh. Fresh eggs have a higher density than water, causing them to sink. On the other hand, spoiled eggs have gases inside them, which makes them less dense and causes them to float in water. So, the correct answer is false.

Submit
12. The accepted normal range for a person’s total cholesterol level is:

Explanation

Cholesterol levels between 200-239 are considered borderline high, while levels between 240-285 are considered high. Therefore, a total cholesterol level below 200 is considered ideal for maintaining good cardiovascular health.

Explanation

It is the wholesale cost of the vehicle to the dealer, not the price that the dealer pays for a specific customer's vehicle.

Submit

Explanation

The bowline knot is the best choice for lifting a person because it is known for its strength and security. It creates a secure loop that will not slip or come undone under tension.

Explanation

A corporate "bond" refers to a debt obligation of a company. It represents a loan made by investors to the company, which the company agrees to repay with periodic interest payments and the return of the principal amount at maturity. Unlike shares of ownership, bonds do not confer ownership rights or voting privileges to the bondholders. Instead, bondholders are creditors of the company and have a claim on the company's assets in case of default. Therefore, the correct answer is that a corporate bond is a debt obligation of a company.

Submit

Explanation

Submit
21. Your chances of surviving an airline crash improve 40% by sitting in the back of the plane.

Explanation

Sitting in the back of the plane can improve your chances of surviving an airline crash by 40% because statistically, the back of the plane is considered to be the safest area during a crash. This is because during impact, the front of the plane usually absorbs most of the force, leaving the back relatively less affected. Additionally, the rear exits are often less crowded and easier to access, allowing for a quicker evacuation.

Submit
23. In an interview, your prospective employer asks you what your current (or last) salary was. You should:

Explanation

When asked about your current or last salary, it is generally recommended to avoid disclosing the exact figure. By stating that your salary is within the industry range for your qualifications, you are providing a general response without revealing the specific amount. This approach allows you to maintain your privacy and negotiate a fair salary based on your skills and the value you bring to the company, rather than being limited by your previous earnings.

Submit
24. You're driving on a highway, and a tornado is bearing down on you. It's too close to escape. What's the best way to survive?

Explanation

Seeking shelter under a highway overpass is not the best way to survive a tornado. Overpasses can actually amplify the wind and create a wind tunnel effect, making it more dangerous. Staying in your car is also not recommended as it can easily be lifted and thrown by the tornado. The best way to survive is to find a low area, preferably dry, and lie face down with your hands protecting the back of your head. This position helps to minimize the risk of being hit by flying debris and increases the chances of survival.

Submit
25. You are beginning to have a heart attack.  After immediately calling 911, you should take  ____.

Explanation

When experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack, it is crucial to call emergency services immediately. Taking a regular-sized aspirin can be beneficial in this situation. Aspirin helps to prevent blood clots from forming and can potentially reduce the severity of a heart attack. It is important to note that other options such as Ibuprofen, baby aspirin, parsley, or allergy tablets do not provide the same benefits and may not be suitable for addressing a heart attack.

Submit
26. What two elements are most important when negotiating any purchase?

Explanation

When negotiating any purchase, time and information are the two most important elements. Time is crucial because it allows the buyer to thoroughly research and consider their options, as well as create a sense of urgency for the seller. Information is equally important as it enables the buyer to make informed decisions and negotiate effectively. Having access to relevant information about the product, market, and competitors gives the buyer an advantage in the negotiation process. By considering both time and information, the buyer can make confident and well-informed purchasing decisions.

Submit
27. In deciding how much home you can afford, a general rule of thumb is:

Explanation

A general rule of thumb in determining how much home you can afford is to consider 2.5 times your annual salary. This means that if you earn $50,000 per year, you should aim to purchase a home that costs no more than $125,000. This guideline helps ensure that you do not overextend yourself financially and allows for other expenses and savings.

Submit
28. Rank the following investments based on their highest expected return to the lowest.

Explanation

The correct answer is Stocks, bonds, money market. Stocks generally have the highest expected return among the three investment options due to their potential for higher growth and dividends. Bonds offer a lower expected return compared to stocks but are still considered to be a relatively safe investment. Money market investments typically have the lowest expected return as they are low-risk, short-term investments that offer lower yields compared to stocks and bonds.

Submit
29. You're lost in the woods, and it's starting to get very cold. The good news is that you remembered to bring pieces of flint and steel. Unfortunately, the wood you were able to gather is damp. You come across an old garbage dump with the following items. Which one are you really glad to find?

Explanation

The magnesium car wheel would be the most useful item to find in this situation because magnesium is highly flammable and can be used to start a fire. By scraping off small shavings of magnesium from the car wheel and igniting them with the flint and steel, you can create sparks that will catch onto the damp wood and help you start a fire to keep warm. The other items listed would not be as helpful in starting a fire in these conditions.

Submit
31. Which of the following are NOT advantages of renting? (two answers)
 

Explanation

Renting does not provide tax benefits or an increase in equity. Tax benefits are usually associated with homeownership, as homeowners can deduct mortgage interest and property taxes from their income taxes. Renters do not have these deductions. Increase in equity is another advantage of homeownership, as the value of the property can appreciate over time, allowing homeowners to build wealth. Renters do not have the opportunity to build equity in the property they are renting.

Submit
32. When accompanying a woman down a set of stairs or on an escalator, where should you be?

Explanation

Submit
33. In a hurricane, you're most likely to die from:

Explanation

In a hurricane, flooding is the most likely cause of death. Hurricanes are often accompanied by heavy rainfall, leading to significant flooding in low-lying areas. This can result in swift and powerful currents that can sweep away individuals and vehicles. Additionally, flooding can damage infrastructure, making it difficult for emergency services to reach those in need. High winds and flying debris can also be dangerous during a hurricane, but flooding poses a more immediate and widespread threat to life. Starvation and dehydration may become concerns in the aftermath of a hurricane if access to food and clean water is limited, but they are not the primary cause of death during the storm itself.

Submit
34. You're likely to negotiate a better price from a dealer when you offer "all cash" versus telling them you intend to finance the car.

Explanation

Offering "all cash" does not necessarily guarantee that you will negotiate a better price from a dealer compared to telling them you intend to finance the car. While cash payments may have certain advantages, such as avoiding interest charges and potentially allowing for more negotiation power, dealers also have incentives to offer financing options. They may earn additional profits through financing deals or have partnerships with lenders. Therefore, the statement is not universally true, and negotiating a better price can depend on various factors such as the dealer's policies and the specific circumstances of the transaction.

Submit

Explanation

To maintain a good credit score, it is recommended to keep your credit card account balances below 35% of your available credit limits. This means that you should aim to use only a portion of your credit limit, rather than maxing out your cards. Keeping your balances low shows responsible credit management and indicates to lenders that you are not relying heavily on credit. This can positively impact your credit score and increase your chances of getting approved for future credit applications.

Submit

Explanation
