[Note: Although I am confident that the answers I have selected are correct, I believe that ambiguity characterizes the language of the questions (e.g., 23, 42), as well as the language of many of the choices given as possible answers. I should add that these questions and the choices given as possible answers suggest to me that this is part of a badly written "standardized" test.]
Good luck!
