Question

• A. 5 pounds
• B. 8 pounds
• C. 6 pounds
• D. 4 pounds

Hint:

Women: 5 pounds. Men: 8 pounds. Time: 30 seconds.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Approach:
This is a fact-recall question, so we recall the test standard and rule out the odd values.


Step 2: Recall the standard:
The test uses two set weights, one for each sex. The heavier one, 8 pounds, is for men. The lighter one, 5 pounds, is for women.


Step 3: Conclusion:
Since 6 and 4 pounds are not part of the standard and 8 pounds is for men, the answer for women is 5 pounds.


Final Answer:
\[\boxed{\text{Option 1: 5 pounds}}\]
