LESSON 1
PRACTICE EXERCISE
REQUIREMENT. The following questions are multiple choice. There are four choices
to each. You are to select the one that is correct and CIRCLE the letter beside
the correct choice directly on these pages. This is a self-graded lesson. DO NOT
look up the correct answer from the solution sheet until you have answered each
question. To do so will endanger your ability to learn this material. Also, your
final examination score will tend to be lower than if you had followed this
procedure.
