TEST PART

In this part, determine the correct answer and mark it in the bubble table on the cover page.
If you do not mark the bubble table for any question, that question will be graded as zero. More
than one circled answer for a question will receive zero credit. Wrong answers do not cancel any
correct answers. Each question is 5 points.
