  1. A fire company responds to 9 calls on Monday, 7 on Tuesday, 11 on Wednesday, and 5 on Thursday. What is the average number of calls per day?

    Answer: 8

    (9 + 7 + 11 + 5) ÷ 4 = 32 ÷ 4 = 8 calls per day.

  2. Which sentence uses correct punctuation?

    Answer: The lieutenant said, 'Advance the line.'

    A comma is the correct punctuation before a direct quotation in this context.

  3. A pump discharges 250 gallons per minute. How long will it take to discharge 1,750 gallons?

    Answer: 7 minutes

    1,750 ÷ 250 = 7 minutes.

  4. Read: 'During a Mayday, all non-essential radio traffic must cease immediately.' A firefighter calls a Mayday. What should other units do?

    Answer: Stop transmitting unless directly involved in the Mayday

    Non-essential radio traffic must stop so the Mayday channel stays clear for rescue coordination.

  5. Which word is the antonym of 'hazardous'?

    Answer: Benign

    'Benign' means harmless or not dangerous, making it the antonym of hazardous.

  6. If a firefighter earns $52,000 annually and receives a 5% raise, what is the new annual salary?

    Answer: $54,600

    $52,000 × 0.05 = $2,600 raise; $52,000 + $2,600 = $54,600.

  7. A pattern shows: Circle, Triangle, Square, Circle, Triangle, Square, Circle, ___. What comes next?

    Answer: Triangle

    The pattern repeats every 3 shapes: Circle, Triangle, Square — so after Circle comes Triangle.
