Question 5
Which pair correctly separates the subject of "Preparation of for Higher Education and Career
Pathways" from the subject of "The focus on communication and Presentation Skills in Science"
rather than assigning both to the same area?

Full Explanation:
Preparing for Higher Education and Career Pathways includes preparation of for Higher Education and
Career Pathways. Communication and Presentation Skills in Science includes the focus on
communication and Presentation Skills in Science. A: The first concern fits Preparing for Higher
Education and Career Pathways, so assigning both to Communication and Presentation Skills in Science
loses the distinction. B: The second concern fits Communication and Presentation Skills in Science, so
assigning both to Preparing for Higher Education and Career Pathways loses the distinction. C: This
reverses the associations: the first concern fits Preparing for Higher Education and Career Pathways,
and the second fits Communication and Presentation Skills in Science.
Question 6

the Nervous System" to Waves, Optics, and Sound. Which correction restores the most direct
associations?
A. Assign the first to Waves, Optics, and Sound and the second to The Nervous System.
B. Keep both assignments unchanged.
C. Assign both concerns to The Nervous System.
D. Assign both concerns to Waves, Optics, and Sound.
Correct Answer: A
Full Explanation:
Waves, Optics, and Sound includes the focus on waves, Optics, and Sound. The Nervous System
includes the focus on the Nervous System. B: This reverses the associations: the first concern fits
Waves, Optics, and Sound, and the second fits The Nervous System. C: The first concern fits Waves,
Optics, and Sound, so assigning both to The Nervous System loses the distinction. D: The second
concern fits The Nervous System, so assigning both to Waves, Optics, and Sound loses the distinction.
