Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Answer option 1 is the correct answer because it is usually feasible to narrow the correct answers down to two. Option 2 is incorrect because it is too easy to forget which questions were skipped. Option 4 is incorrect because your first impression is usually correct, and changing answers may result in the question being marked wrong. Tests are not designed to create a pattern on the answer sheet, so option 3 is incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Lavinia Dock found The American Society of Superintendents of Training Schools, which is considered the precursor of the NLN.
