Direction: 1.Read the questions carefully & give the correct answers on the question
paper Answer the following multiple choice questions (some questions have multiple
answers that are correct). To attain a perfect score on the quiz, all correct answers must
be given. Each correct answer is worth 1 point. Each omitted answer or wrong answer
reduces the score by 1 point, and each additional answer beyond the correct number of
answers reduces the score by 1 point. Percentage score on the quiz is based on the total
number of correct answers.
