ASVAB ASVAB Certifications ASVAB-SECTION-8 Questions & Answers

  • Question 91:

    LLC stands for "Limited Liability Corporation," meaning the business owners' liability is limited. Without the idea of "limited liability," the owners of a business can be held personally responsible for the debts of their business. The idea of "limited liability" originated in Germany in the late 19th century. By the 1940s, the idea had taken hold in 17 countries, but not the United States. In 1977, Wyoming became the first U.S. state to pass an LLC law modeled after the German statute. Many other states eventually passed their own version, though most of them have variations from other states.

    Why is the idea of limited liability helpful to business owners?

    A. Because it can limit their personal financial risk.

    B. Because it is a tradition dating back to the 19th century.

    C. Because it is now legal in all 50 states.

    D. Because it holds them personally responsible for their business' debts.

  • Question 93:

    A stranger meets you and shows you a wad of cash he has just "found." He says he wants to split it with you, but says that, in order to show your "good faith," you have to put up some of your own money. When you agree to give him your money, the stranger finds a reason to leave for a while. Do you see him again? Probably not – you have just been conned.

    A. don't ever speak to strangers

    B. be careful of "get-rich-quick" schemes

    C. how to make lots of money

  • Question 94:

    Black Americans served in every major U.S. military conflict from the Revolutionary War onward except the 1848 Mexican War. However, they were almost always restricted to segregated, black-only units – usually with white officers – until after the Korean War. President Harry S. Truman issued an executive order in 1948 that mandated "equality of treatment... in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion or national origin." By October 1953, the Army announced that 95 percent of black soldiers were serving in integrated units.

    By when was segregation of black soldiers effectively ended?

    A. In 1848

    B. In 1948

    C. In 1953

    D. During the Korean War

  • Question 95:

    In the military, as in all professions, the issue of competence is directly relevant to professional integrity. Because human life, national security, and expenditures from the national treasury are so frequently at issue when the military acts, the obligation to be competent isn't merely prudential. That obligation is a moral one, and culpable incompetence here is clearly a violation of professional integrity. Part of the social aspect of professional integrity involves the joint responsibility for conduct and competence shared by all members of the profession. Only fellow professionals are capable of evaluating competence in some instances; hence, fellow professionals must accept the responsibility of upholding the standards of the profession. Fellow military members can spot derelictions of duty, failures of leadership, failures of competence, and the venalities of conduct that interfere with the goals of the military mission. Often, the obligations of professional integrity may be pitted against personal loyalties or friendships; and, where the stakes for society are so high, professional integrity should win out.

    The author of the above passage would agree that __________.

    A. friendship must often take a back seat to professional integrity

    B. only fellow professionals should evaluate competence

    C. professional competence is a direct result of effective training programs

    D. all of the above

    The fierce and warlike tribe, called the Huns, who’d driven the Goths to seek new homes, came from Asia into Southeastern Europe and took possession of a large territory lying north of the River Danube. During the first half of the fifth century, the Huns had a famous king named Attila. He was only 21 years old when he became their king.

He defeated the Romans in several great battles and captured many of their cities. The Roman Emperor Theodosius had to ask for terms of peace. Attila agreed that there should be peace, but soon afterwards he found out that Theodosius had formed a plot to murder him. He was so enraged at this that he again began war.
