TEST QUESTIONS FOR EACH CHAPTER
Note: The end of each chapter in the textbook has objective test questions (mostly multiple
choice) and their answers. Most of these questions are also on the website in interactive form.
Some of these questions can be used for quizzes, the midterm, or the final. You may want to
modify them slightly, that is, change or rearrange some of the answers in a multiple-choice
question. Because there are plenty of multiple-choice questions in the text, what is given here are
true/false and short-answer questions. You might want to use the true/false questions for weekly
quizzes and the short answer for the midterm or final. If you do use the short answer for a
midterm or final, you probably will not want to use all of them. Use those that cover whatever
you feel are the most important concepts.
