Newsletter #14 Quiz


Choose all of the answers that can be properly substituted for those shown in parenthesis or which match the definitions or statements in the questions. Each number may have one or up to five correct answers; so don’t stop just because you have checked one answer. Examine each number to see if one, two, or more answers should be marked for each applicable question.

Actually, a calculation will be made for fifty answers (5 answers times 10 questions = 50) so each correct response is worth two points for a possible total of 100 points (or 100%). Correct answers include those that should be checked and those that should not be checked.
