Question 1
Older adults may require greater supplementation of which nutrient due to reduced absorption?
Correct Answer:
Vitamin B12
Explanation:
As people age, changes in the digestive system can reduce how well some nutrients are absorbed. Vitamin B12 depends on intrinsic factor, a protein made in the stomach, to be absorbed in the small intestine. Aging often brings lower stomach acid and less intrinsic factor, so B12 absorption drops, increasing the risk of deficiency. Deficiency can lead to fatigue, anemia, and nerve or cognitive problems, so older adults are more likely to need B12 supplementation, sometimes through injections or high-dose oral forms.
Question 2
By about 12 months, what skill is typically expected?
Correct Answer:
Crawl on his own.
Explanation:
A key idea here is the typical trajectory of gross motor development in the first year. By around 12 months, many infants are starting to move around more independently, and crawling on their own is a common milestone at this age. Walking independently usually appears a bit later, often between 12 and 15 months, as balance and leg strength continue to develop. Language and literacy milestones come later in infancy and early childhood—speaking in full sentences and reading a paragraph aren’t expected until much later. So crawling on his own fits the 12‑month timeframe best.
Question 3
During adolescence, what is the recommended daily oil intake in teaspoons?
Correct Answer:
5-6 tsp
Explanation:
The main idea here is how much fat in the form of oil teens should include daily. Oils are a dense energy source and provide essential fatty acids, so knowing a specific teaspoon amount helps teens meet their energy and nutrient needs without overdoing calories. For adolescence, about 5 to 6 teaspoons of oil per day is recommended. This range supports growth and daily energy needs while keeping fat intake in balance with other nutrients. Using a variety of healthy oils (like olive or canola) and spreading them across meals helps reach this amount naturally. The other ranges are either a bit too low to meet typical teen requirements or slightly higher than what many guidelines suggest for daily intake.
Question 4
Which policy describes a system that doesn't restrict imports or exports?
Correct Answer:
Free trade
Explanation:
The main idea here is how governments regulate international commerce. Free trade is the system that describes a market with little to no government barriers on moving goods and services across borders. It allows imports and exports to flow openly, letting prices and production be driven by competition and comparative advantage. Why this fits: there are no or minimal restrictions like taxes (tariffs) or limits on quantity (quotas), no broad policy to shield domestic industries (protectionism), and no complete ban on trade with a country (embargo). The other options all involve some form of restriction or barrier, whereas free trade removes those barriers, promoting open exchange.
Question 5
What is the term for adjusting and revising a pattern drawing used to cut fabric?
Correct Answer:
Pattern alteration
Explanation:
Adjusting and revising a pattern drawing used to cut fabric is called pattern alteration. This involves making changes to the pattern pieces to improve fit or to reflect different measurements, such as tweaking bust darts, waist shaping, sleeve length, or overall length after testing a muslin or fitting sample. The idea is to modify the existing pattern rather than starting from scratch. Pattern drafting would be creating a brand-new pattern from measurements. Pattern grading is resizing a pattern to create multiple sizes. Pattern matching refers to aligning fabric prints or designs so they line up at seams.
