Education QUESTION #6756

Question 9

A teacher constructs a test and finds that item discrimination index D = -0.15 for question 7. Which interpretation is MOST accurate?

High-ability students found the item tricky, indicating it is a good challenging item
Students in the lower-scoring group performed better on this item than students in the upper-scoring group — the item is likely flawed and should be removed or revised✔️
The item is too easy and should be made more difficult to improve discrimination
A negative D value is acceptable as long as the item p-value is above 0.50

Correct Answer Logic:

The discrimination index D = (Upper Group % Correct) – (Lower Group % Correct). A negative D means the lower-scoring group outperformed the upper-scoring group on this item. This is a serious red flag: it could indicate a keying error, ambiguous wording, or content that rewards lower-ability guessers. Such items should be removed from scoring or revised.

Chemistry QUESTION #5581

Question 10

In the reaction sequence $CH_3COOH \xrightarrow{LiAlH_4} A \xrightarrow{PCl_5} B \xrightarrow{Alc.\ KOH} C$, the product C is:

Ethylene ($CH_2=CH_2$)✔️
Acetyl chloride ($CH_3COCl$)
Acetaldehyde ($CH_3CHO$)
Acetylene ($HC\equiv CH$)

Correct Answer Logic:

Step 1: $CH_3COOH \xrightarrow{LiAlH_4} CH_3CH_2OH$ (ethanol, A). Step 2: $CH_3CH_2OH \xrightarrow{PCl_5} CH_3CH_2Cl$ (chloroethane, B). Step 3: $CH_3CH_2Cl \xrightarrow{Alc.\ KOH} CH_2=CH_2$ (ethylene/ethene, C) by elimination. The final product C is ethylene.

MCQs Section QUESTION #4908

Question 19

A President entering the final two years of a second term _____ carry out a legislative program.

likely to be at a severe disadvantage and is often unable to✔️
likely severely disadvantaged and often unable to
liable to be severely disadvantaged and cannot often
liable that he or she is at a severe disadvantage and cannot often

Correct Answer Logic:

Likely to be' is the correct idiom and 'is often unable to' provides the needed parallel auxiliary structure. 'Liable' in options C and D implies legal responsibility, which is the wrong meaning here. Option E (not shown) is structurally incoherent. Option B omits a linking verb, making 'likely' a dangling adjective.
