All questions are multiple choice. Enter the best answer on the ScanTron sheet using an HB or # 2 pencil.
You do not need to show your work. In addition to entering your response on the ScanTron sheet, you
may also wish to circle your response for your own records (ScanTron sheets will be graded, but will not
be returned to you). [1 mark each = 32 marks]
