B. TNTExplanation
Mixing chlorates with combustible material pound for pound is equivalent to TNT. TNT (trinitrotoluene) is a highly explosive compound commonly used in military and industrial applications. It is known for its stability and high energy release upon detonation. Chlorates are strong oxidizing agents, meaning they support combustion and can enhance the explosive properties of a material. When combined with a combustible substance, chlorates can increase the overall explosive power, making it comparable to TNT.Rate this question:

(013) Before expecting your military working dog (MWD) to learn a task or work, you must ensure the
- A.
Dog has received adequate rest
- B.
Needs of the MWD are adequately met
- C.
MWD’s drives are adequately met
- D.
dog will work no matter what is going on
Correct Answer
B. Needs of the MWD are adequately metExplanation
In order for a military working dog (MWD) to effectively learn a task or work, it is important to ensure that the needs of the MWD are adequately met. This includes providing the dog with enough rest, as a tired dog may not be able to perform at its best. Additionally, meeting the dog's drives, such as its need for exercise, mental stimulation, and social interaction, is crucial for the dog's overall well-being and ability to focus on its tasks. By ensuring that the needs of the MWD are adequately met, the dog will be in the best condition to work efficiently and effectively.Rate this question:

(013) Which “need” will you not use to reward your dog during training?
- A.
Food
- B.
Water
- C.
Oxygen
- D.
Pain avoidance
Correct Answer
B. WaterExplanation
During dog training, water is not typically used as a reward. While food can be used as a positive reinforcement, providing necessary nutrients, and pain avoidance can be used to discourage unwanted behaviors, water is a basic necessity for survival and is generally freely available to dogs. Therefore, it is not typically used as a reward during training sessions.Rate this question:

What must the military working dog (MWD) handler gain to work effectively with a highly dominant dog?
- A.
Control
- B.
Respect
- C.
Initiative
- D.
Willingness
Correct Answer
C. InitiativeExplanation
To work effectively with a highly dominant dog, the military working dog (MWD) handler must gain initiative. This means taking charge and being proactive in their approach to training and handling the dog. By being assertive and taking the lead, the handler can establish themselves as the pack leader and gain the dog's respect and obedience. Initiative is crucial in managing a dominant dog and ensuring that the handler maintains control and establishes a strong working relationship with the dog.Rate this question:

(014) A fixed amount of odor that is necessary in order for the dog to recognize that odor defines
- A.
Internal receptors
- B.
Absolute threshold
- C.
Strong training aids
- D.
Successive approximation
Correct Answer
B. Absolute thresholdExplanation
The absolute threshold refers to the minimum amount of a stimulus that is required for a person or animal to detect or recognize it. In the context of the question, the fixed amount of odor necessary for a dog to recognize it would be the absolute threshold. This means that the dog needs a certain level of odor in order to perceive and identify it.Rate this question:

(014) Which sense allows the military working dog (MWD) to learn from cues such as brightness, shape, and size?
- A.
Sight
- B.
Taste
- C.
Smell
- D.
Hearing
Correct Answer
A. SightExplanation
Sight is the sense that allows the military working dog (MWD) to learn from cues such as brightness, shape, and size. Through their vision, MWDs are able to perceive and distinguish objects based on their visual characteristics. This sense enables them to detect and respond to visual cues, which is crucial in their training and performance of tasks in military operations.Rate this question:
