- A.
  
  T
- B.
  
  F
- C.
  
  NI
Correct Answer
A. T

Explanation
Right-handedness is associated with the dominance of the left hemisphere of the brain for most individuals. This means that when right-handers engage in mathematical tasks, the left hemisphere is primarily responsible for processing and performing these tasks. Research has shown that the left hemisphere is generally more involved in logical thinking, analytical reasoning, and mathematical abilities. Therefore, it is accurate to say that most right-handers do math with the left hemisphere of the brain.

- A.
  
  T
- B.
  
  F
- C.
  
  NI
Correct Answer
B. F

Explanation
The right hemisphere of the brain does not control the right side of the body. In fact, the opposite is true. The left hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body, while the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body. This is due to the way in which the nerves in the brain cross over to the opposite side of the body.

Most people in the world use the left hemisphere for language.
- A.
  
  T
- B.
  
  F
- C.
  
  NI
Correct Answer
A. T

Explanation
The statement suggests that a majority of people in the world use their left hemisphere for language processing. The left hemisphere of the brain is commonly associated with language functions such as speech production and comprehension. Numerous studies have shown that language processing is predominantly localized in the left hemisphere for right-handed individuals, who make up the majority of the population. However, it is important to note that some left-handed individuals may have language functions more evenly distributed between both hemispheres.

Left-handedness can cause children to see letters backwards.
- A.
  
  T
- B.
  
  F
- C.
  
  NI
Correct Answer
A. T

Explanation
Left-handedness can cause children to see letters backwards. This is because left-handed individuals often have a natural tendency to mirror-write, which means they may write letters or words in reverse order. This can lead to difficulties in reading and writing, as the letters may appear backwards to them. Therefore, the statement is true.

Rate this question:
7.

It is easier to write from left to right.
- A.
  
  T
- B.
  
  F
- C.
  
  NI
Correct Answer
C. NI

Explanation
The given answer "NI" stands for "Not Inferred". This means that based on the information given in the question, we cannot infer whether it is easier to write from left to right or not. The question does not provide any specific details or context to support either a true or false statement. Therefore, we cannot make a conclusive inference about the ease of writing from left to right.

Rate this question:
8.

Left-handed people are more intelligent than right-handers.
- A.
  
  T
- B.
  
  F
- C.
  
  NI
Correct Answer
C. NI

Explanation
The given answer is "NI" which stands for "Not Indicated". This means that the statement "Left-handed people are more intelligent than right-handers" does not have enough evidence or information to support or refute it. The question does not provide any data, research, or context to make a definitive conclusion about the intelligence of left-handed or right-handed individuals. Therefore, the answer is "Not Indicated" as it cannot be determined based on the given information.
