Sample questions
Solutions

Sample question 1
The observation results show that the main shoot and the side
shoots of the untreated plant grow. If the tip of the main shoot is
cut off, the main shoot stops growing. However, the phytohormone can be used to make a main shoot continue to grow after
its tip has been cut off. The phytohormone hence promotes the
growth of the main shoot. Statement I is therefore correct.
The side shoots grow on the untreated plant and they also
grow on the plant where the main shoot was cut off at the tip. If
the phytohormone is applied, however, the side shoots stopped
growing. The phytohormone hence hinders the growth of the
side shoots. Statement II is hence also correct.
The correct solution is therefore C.
Sample question 2
Sequence A can be composed of the four parts which come
about through division with the enzyme Ch. However, sequence A cannot be composed of the four parts which come
about through division with the enzyme Tr. Sequence A is
therefore wrong.
Sequence B is already wrong simply because it starts with the
amino acid Gly and ends with Gly. The amino acid Leu has to
form one end of the peptide X.
Sequence C cannot be composed of the four parts which come
about through division with the enzyme Ch. Sequence C is
therefore wrong.
Sequence D can be composed of the four parts which come
about through division with the enzyme Ch. Sequence D can
also be composed of the four parts which come about through
division with the enzyme Tr.
Sequence D is therefore correct.

Statement I is incorrect:
If the concentration of I is increased, then you come to decision
sample contains Ec. This is incorrect, for if I and A are increased, the water contains Kp.
Statement II is correct:
If I is not increased, you come to decision point X. If decision
point X is labelled Concentration of S normal?, an increase in
tion is answered NO. This is correct because the combination
of I normal and S increased means that the water contains Cf.
to the decision Ea. This is correct because the combination of
I normal and S normal means that the water contains Ea.
B is the correct solution.

This is correct, for if the water contains Ec, I and S are increased. However, if S is normal, then the question in decision point
Y is answered NO and you come to the decision Kp in water.
This is correct, for if the water contains Kp, I is increased and
S is normal.
If I is not increased, then you come to decision point X and the
Statement II is incorrect:
If decision point X is labelled Concentration of A normal?, the

If Ea are in the water, then I is normal and A is increased. The
red NO and you come to decision point X. If decision point X
is labelled Concentration of A normal?, then the question in
decision point X must be answered NO and you come to the
wrong decision Cf in the water.

Statement I is incorrect:
Bacteria in water:
Ec
Kp
Cf
Ea
If Cf are in the water, then I is normal and A is normal. If decision point X is labelled Concentration of A normal?, then the
question in decision point X must be answered YES and you
come to the wrong decision Ea in water.
A is the correct solution.
Sample question 5
Statement I is incorrect:
If there are more than 10 participants, Room C is always chosen, even if customers are taking part in the meeting.
Statement II is correct:
chart, Room A is chosen if there are 4 or fewer participants,
Room B is chosen for 5 to 10 participants, and Room C is chosen for more than 10 participants.
B is the correct solution.
Sample question 6
Statement I is correct:
answered YES and the question NP > 10? is answered
NO, meaning that Room B is always chosen.
Statement II is incorrect:
Even if there are fewer than 5 people, Room B can still be chosen. For example, in the case of 4 participants, the question
meeting, the next question is answered YES and the meeting
with 4 participants is held in Room B.
A is the correct solution.
