Answer (D) is correct. "Last of all" is a phrase that marks the last action in a sequence. Answer (A) is incorrect because the word "finally!" is used here to express relief that something has happened after a long wait. It does not necessarily mark the last item in a sequence. Answer (B) is incorrect because the phrase "in the end" as it is used in the sentence means "ultimately" or "in the long run." Answer (C) is incorrect because the phrase "the last thing I wanted" as it is used in the sentence means "I did not want."

The correct answer is (C). Review the options: Answer (A): A title would have been placed at the beginning of the message and would most likely have presented the main subject of the message, BA student tutoring. Answer (B): There is no timeline in the letter, only a specific date. Answer (C): Since a deadline is an important date for the recipient to bear in mind, it is logical that it be emphasized. In this case, it was done by means of an underline. Therefore, this is the correct answer. Answer (D): This statement is incorrect and, therefore, you can eliminate it.

The correct answer is (A). The topic of the paper clearly relates to cars. Looking at the subheadings, the paper appears to discuss issues relevant to someone who wishes to buy a car. Such a person must take into account how the car performs in crash tests, how much gas it consumes, and how many miles it drove. They should also make sure to take it on a test drive and put the licensing and insurance in order. Therefore, answer (A) is most likely the heading of the paper. Answer (B) is incorrect because while one could argue that some of the subheadings might be of great value to a racecar driver as well (e.g. car crash results), there is no indication that the paper is directed at this specific audience. For such an audience, you would expect to read more about speed performance and the like. Answer (C) is incorrect because none of the subheadings deals with issues related to fixing a car. Answer (D) is incorrect because although many of the subheadings could be of interest to an insurer, like insurance and car crash results, most of the subheadings are irrelevant to a person looking to BECOME an insurance agent.

The correct answer is (D). First, work out the total for one day. There are x cows, each needing 24 pounds of food. That is 24x pounds of food. Writing letters and numbers together means they are multiplied together. There are y pigs, each needing 7 pounds of food. That is 7y pounds of food. The total per day is 24x + 7y pounds of food. Over the course of a week, this would be multiplied by 7 to give 7(24x + 7y) = 168x + 49y.

The correct answer is (D). Initially, the median of these numbers is 27, as there are two middle numbers of 27. The range is 36 - 6 = 30. The mean is:{6+23+25+27+27+29+31+36}/{8}=25.5 In this set of numbers, the outlier is 6. It is much smaller than the rest of the numbers, which are in the 20s and 30s. If you were to remove this number, you would be left with seven numbers:23, 25, 27, 27, 29, 31, 36. As 27 is the middle number, it is still the median. Thus, the median has stayed the same. The range is now 36 - 23 = 13. Thus, it has decreased. This makes sense as there is now less of a difference between the smallest and the largest number. The mean is now:{23 + 25 + 27 + 27 + 29 + 31 +36}/{7} = 28.3 Thus, the mean has increased. This is because there are fewer small numbers. The 6 pulled the original mean down and has now been removed. Therefore, the median has stayed the same and the mean has increased, so the correct answer is (D).

The correct answer is (D). To find the number of students who own at least one pet, multiply the number of students in the classroom by the percentage of students who own at least one pet: 32 × 12.5% = 32 × 0.125 = 4. Therefore, the number of students who do not own any pets is 32 – 4 = 28.

The correct answer is (C). It is important to remember two things: 1. The membrane resting state potential is -70 mV. 2. Potassium concentration is high within the cell while calcium and sodium concentrations are high outside the cell. When action potential occurs, sodium channels open, and sodium ions “rush” into the cells, which immediately depolarizes the negative membrane. Soon after, potassium channels open, and potassium ions “rush” out of the cell, which then repolarizes the membrane back to its resting potential. Calcium concentrations are several orders of magnitude lower than those of potassium and sodium, thus they are insufficient for membrane polarization; calcium inflow and outflow are used mainly for signaling.

The correct answer is (C). The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange (the inhalation of O2 and exhalation of CO2). The CO2 concentration, in turn effect the blood pH. The respiratory system includes a conducting zone which filters the incoming air (as well as heating and moistening it).The disposal of toxins takes place in the liver, where the toxic compounds are broken up or modified, in order to be removed from the body.

The correct answer is (B). In order to solve this, first find the redox state of each atom. Start with the reactants: When an atom is uncharged and not in a molecule, its redox state is 0. When hydrogen is in a non-metal compound, its redox state is +1. When chlorine is in a compound (and not with oxygen or fluorine), its redox state is -1. Moving on with the products: Chlorine is still in a compound, and not with oxygen or fluorine, its redox state is still -1. Remember that the sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms or ions in a neutral compound is zero; therefore, since MgCl2 is not charged, the magnesium ion’s new redox state is +2. Lastly, the redox state of hydrogen as gas is 0. To sum up the redox changes: Magnesium’s redox state increased from 0 to +2; therefore, it was oxidized. Hydrogen’s redox state dropped from +1 to 0; therefore, it was reduced. Note: Whenever an atom is oxidized, some other atom must be reduced, and vice versa. Since redox reaction involves the transfer of electron, for every acceptor there is a donor and vice versa. For this reason, distractors such as D can easily be eliminated.

The correct answer is (D). The original sentence is incorrect because the verb "buying" requires an object. What is harder than finding the love of your life today is buying a house. Said house appears in the sentence, but it is misplaced, implying that you intend to find the love of your life a house. The sentence should read: "Some say that buying a house today is harder than finding the love of your life."

The correct answer is (C).The two parts of the sentence are meant to contrast with each other, and only answer (C) expresses contrast.The sentence should read "It is very rare to see green turtles off the coast of California; however, during the summer they can be found among the rocks."

The correct answer is (C). The phrase "men and women" is included in the noun "people." Answer (A) is incorrect because while the word "new" is not necessary for the sentence to be correct, removing it would change the meaning of the sentence.Answer (B) is incorrect because the word "to" is a necessary preposition.Answer (D) is incorrect because if the phrase "the age" were removed, the sentence would have a redundant "of."
