Solve for x: 2x - 3 = 7.
10
2
4
5
By adding 3 to both sides, the equation becomes 2x = 10, which simplifies to x = 5 after dividing by 2. This reinforces the method of solving basic linear equations.
Simplify the expression: 3(x + 2) - 2x.
x + 2
3x + 2
x + 6
5x + 2
Distributing the 3 yields 3x + 6, and subtracting 2x results in x + 6. This problem tests the understanding of the distributive property and combining like terms.
What is a simile in literature?
A reference to a well-known story
A figure of speech comparing two different things using 'like' or 'as'
A subtle contradiction in terms
An exaggeration for dramatic effect
A simile directly compares two distinct things using 'like' or 'as'. Recognizing similes is key to understanding figurative language in literary texts.
What is the primary function of mitochondria in a cell?
To regulate cell division
To facilitate waste removal
To produce energy in the form of ATP

Constitution
The Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776 to announce the American colonies' separation from Britain. Understanding this historical document is critical for grasping American history.
During photosynthesis, which gas is absorbed by plants?
Nitrogen
Hydrogen
Carbon dioxide
Oxygen
Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and convert it into oxygen and glucose. This process is fundamental to plant biology and the carbon cycle.
What is the formula for the area of a circle?
A = 2πr
A = 2r
A = πr²
A = πd
The area of a circle is found by multiplying π by the square of the radius. This fundamental formula is a cornerstone of geometry.
What is a synonym for the word 'elevate'?
Raise
Lower
Ignore
Destroy
To elevate means to lift or raise something up. This question assesses vocabulary and the ability to match synonyms accurately.
If a car travels at 60 miles per hour, how far does it travel in 2.5 hours?
200 miles
150 miles
180 miles
120 miles
Multiplying the speed (60 mph) by the time (2.5 hours) gives 150 miles. This question applies basic arithmetic to solve a distance-rate problem.
Which element is represented by the symbol 'Na'?
Sodium
Nitrogen
Neon
Nickel
The chemical symbol 'Na' stands for sodium, derived from its Latin name 'natrium'. Recognizing periodic table symbols is essential in chemistry.
Evaluate the expression: 4(2^3) - 3(5 - 2^2).
27
29
30
28
First, calculate the exponents: 2^3 is 8 and 2^2 is 4. Then, perform the multiplications and subtraction in order to arrive at the correct answer of 29.
In literary analysis, what is a dynamic character?
A character that remains unchanged throughout the story
A minor character without much depth
A stereotype representing a common type
A character who undergoes significant internal change
A dynamic character experiences substantial growth or change over the course of a narrative. This concept is key in understanding character development in literature.
Solve for x in the equation: (x/2) + (x/3) = 5.
5
10
6
12
Combine the fractions by finding a common denominator to get (5x/6) = 5. Solving for x by multiplying both sides by 6 and then dividing by 5 yields x = 6.
Which Supreme Court case established the principle of judicial review in the United States?
Brown v. Board of Education
Plessy v. Ferguson
Marbury v. Madison
Roe v. Wade
The landmark case Marbury v. Madison established that the Supreme Court has the power to review and nullify unconstitutional laws. This case is fundamental in understanding the balance of power within the U.S. government.
Which of the following functions best represents exponential growth?
f(x) = x^2
f(x) = x + 2
f(x) = log(x)
f(x) = 2^x
Exponential functions, such as f(x) = 2^x, increase at a rate proportional to their current value. This contrasts with polynomial or logarithmic functions, and the question tests an understanding of function types and their growth behaviors.
