express different grammatical categories such as
tense, case, voice, aspect, person, number, gender
and mood.
Phonation is the process by which the vocal folds
produce certain sounds through quasi-periodic
vibration.
Articulation is the way we produce speech sounds.

Advent of mechanized agriculture
In 1899 an American schoolteacher, Charles Edward Anson
Markham (1852-1940), who used the penname Edwin
Markham, was inspired by an 1863 painting to write a poem.
The painting was "L'homme à la houe" by the French artist,
Jean-François Millet (1814-1875); the poem was "The Man
with a Hoe".
For Markham, Millet’s peasant symbolized the exploited classes
worldwide. Markham said that he viewed it as “a poem of
hope. a cry for justice.” He clearly condemns the exploitation
of labor. Such conditions have caused the laborer to have an
“aching stoop” and to become devoid of mind and heart.
France has been one of the most dominant agricultural centers
of Europe for centuries. Today, France boosts its highly
industrialized and mechanized agriculture.

P3.200.00 + P2.500.00 + P1,500.00 =
P7,200
To get the percentage, we just divide the
values and multiply to 100%:
(7200/40,000) x 100% = 18%

70. Simplify: (x 2 - y )
2 / (x - y)
A. -x-y C. -x+y
B. x+y D. y-x
x+y
(x2 - y2) / (x - y) Difference of 2 squares
= (x-y) (x+y) / (x-y)
= (x+y)
71. Simplify: 6-[3-(4)+11 +8].
A. 26 C. 20
B. 12 D. -20
-12
By PEMDAS, 6-[3-(4)+11 +8]
= 6 – [3-4+11+8]

= 6 – 18
= -12
72. Which are the prime factors of
56?
A. 7, 2, 2, 2 C. 7, 4, 2
B.14,2, 2 D. 7, 8
7,2,2,2
A. Median C. Mean
B. Weighted Mean D. Mode
Mode
Advantage of the median: The median is
less affected by outliers and skewed data than the
mean, and is usually the preferred measure of
central tendency when the distribution
is not symmetrical.
Weighted arithmetic mean is similar to an
ordinary arithmetic mean, except that instead of
each of the data points contributing equally to the
final average, some data points contribute more
than others.
75. The grades in Mathematics of the
students in section A are as follows:80,
75,60,95,100. What is the population
standard deviation of their group?
A.1.58 C. 16.73
B. 1.48 D. 14.97
14.35
To solve for the standard deviation, we apply the formula:
σ𝑁 2
𝑖=1(𝑋1 −𝜇)
; where µ = population mean and N = population size
𝑁
A.95 C.105
B. 100 D.120
120
The number of possible ways is 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1
Or 5! (read as 5 factorial) = 120
77. If a die is rolled, what is the
probability of getting a number divisible
by 2?
A.1/6 C.1/2
B. 1/4 D.1/3
1/2
A dies has 6 faces with 2, 4 and 6 as
even faces (divisible by two). Thus, we
get 3 even faces among 6 faces. The
probability is 3/6 or 1/2
78. Which of the following is a product of
13 and an integer?
A.1326 C. 1343
B. 1323 D.131
1326
The question asks for a number divisible by
13. You just simply try all the choices by
dividing it by 13, for which the answer does
not result to a decimal.
Thus, we got
1326 ÷ 13 =102
79. In an English test, eight students obtained
the following scores: 12, 10,13,11, 15,
20,19,17. What is the median score?
A.15.5 C.16.5
B. 14 D.17
14
Arrange first the values from lowest to
highest. Thus,
10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20.
The middle most value is our median. Yet
we have 8 numbers in this set, so we will
get the average of the 4th and 5th value.
The median therefore is the 14.
80. A rectangular block of steel has
dimensions of 5 meters x 10 meters x 15
meters and weights, 1,000 N. How should this
block be placed on a surface to exert the
lease pressure on the surface?
A. On the 10 meters by 15 meters side
B. On the 5 meters by 15 meters side
C. On the 5 meters by 10 meters side
D. All sides have equal pressure
On the 10 meters by 15 meters
side
Pressure is defined as Force exerted over an
Area. Thus, we must get the LEAST value
among the choices using the formula, P = F/A
Letter A yields 1000/(10x15) = 6.67 Pascal
Letter B yields 1000/(5x15) = 13.33 Pascal
Letter C yields 1000/(5x10) = 20 Pascal
Letter D obviously is wrong.
81. If a student has an average of 76% on
his first two tests, and has an average of
85% on the next four tests, what is his
final average on all six tests?
A.82.5% C.81.3%.
B. 80.5% D.82.0%
82%
To solve for this we simply convert the
true value of the two averages, ADD them
then DIVIDE by 6.
As for 76%, 76x2 = 152
As for 85%, 85x4 = 340
We get,
(152 + 340) ÷ 6 =82
82. What percent of 75 is 15?
A. 20% C. 38%
B. 30% D. 40%
20%

89. Which of the following is the lowest
rank of coal and is otherwise called
brown coal?
A. Bituminous C. Anthracite
B. Lignite D. Charcoal
Lignite
The kinds of coal, in increasing order of alteration, are lignite
(brown coal--immature), sub-bituminous, bituminous, and
anthracite (mature).
Lignite is considered to be "immature" coal because it is still
somewhat light in color and it remains soft.
As this process of burial and alteration continues, more
chemical and physical changes occur and a the coal is
classified as bituminous. At this point the coal is dark and
hard.
Anthracite is the last of the classifications, when the coal has
reached ultimate maturation. Anthracite coal is very hard
and shiny.
