Which of the following might be estimated?
-
The cost of repairs
-
The population of a town
-
The number of days in a week
Correct Answer(s)
A. The cost of repairs
A. The population of a townExplanation
The cost of repairs and the population of a town can both be estimated because they are variables that can vary and are subject to change. The cost of repairs can be estimated by considering factors such as the extent of damage, the cost of materials, and labor expenses. Similarly, the population of a town can be estimated by conducting surveys, analyzing census data, or using statistical models based on birth and death rates, migration patterns, and other demographic factors. On the other hand, the number of days in a week is a fixed value and does not require estimation.Rate this question:

Which of the following are precise amounts?
-
2,145
-
Half a dozen
-
Several hundred
Correct Answer(s)
A. 2,145
A. Half a dozenExplanation
The precise amounts in the given options are "2,145" and "half a dozen". "2,145" is a specific numerical value, indicating an exact quantity. "Half a dozen" is also a precise amount as it refers to a specific number, which is 6. On the other hand, "several hundred" is not a precise amount as it is a vague term that does not provide an exact quantity.Rate this question:

Which of the following might be considered a trek?
-
A trip to the corner store
-
A walk across Canada
-
A plane trip to Europe
Correct Answer
A. A walk across CanadaExplanation
A trek typically refers to a long and arduous journey, often on foot, through challenging terrain or remote areas. A walk across Canada would fit this definition as it involves covering a vast distance and potentially encountering various terrains and climates. On the other hand, a trip to the corner store is a short and simple outing, while a plane trip to Europe involves air travel and does not necessarily involve walking or challenging conditions. Therefore, a walk across Canada is the most plausible option for being considered a trek.Rate this question:

Which of the following might result in someone's being evicted from a house?
-
Failing to pay the rent
-
Running a business from it
-
Using it for illegal purposes
Correct Answer(s)
A. Failing to pay the rent
A. Using it for illegal purposesExplanation
Failing to pay the rent is a common reason for eviction as it violates the terms of the rental agreement. When a tenant fails to fulfill their financial obligation, the landlord has the right to evict them. Similarly, using the house for illegal purposes is a valid reason for eviction as it violates the law and poses a risk to the property and the community. Both of these actions demonstrate a breach of the agreement between the tenant and the landlord, leading to potential eviction.Rate this question:

Which of the following can be shammed?
-
Concern
-
Honesty
-
Interest
Correct Answer(s)
A. Concern
A. Honesty
A. InterestExplanation
All three options - concern, honesty, and interest - can be shammed, meaning they can be faked or pretended. Concern can be pretended by showing false empathy or sympathy towards someone's situation. Honesty can be shammed by lying or deceiving others. Interest can be shammed by pretending to be interested in something or someone when in reality, there is no genuine curiosity or engagement.Rate this question:

Which of the following can abate?
-
Silence
-
Applause
-
Anger
Correct Answer(s)
A. Applause
A. AngerExplanation
Applause and anger can both abate. Applause can abate when it gradually decreases in intensity or stops completely. Similarly, anger can abate when it subsides or diminishes over time. Silence, on the other hand, is not something that can abate as it is the absence of sound or noise.Rate this question:

Which of the following would be irrelevant in judging the quality of a student's writing?
-
The student's age
-
The width of the margin
-
The color of the ink used.
Correct Answer(s)
A. The width of the margin
A. The color of the ink used.Explanation
The width of the margin and the color of the ink used are irrelevant in judging the quality of a student's writing because they do not affect the content or skill of the writing itself. The student's age, on the other hand, could potentially be relevant as it may indicate the level of maturity and experience in writing.Rate this question:
