Which range represents Category 5 on the scale?

• A. 156+
• B. 79-95
• C. 96-110
• D. 130-155

Answer: (A)

This question tests how a rating scale assigns the highest level. The top category is defined by values at or above a certain cutoff, so it includes all the strongest or most extreme cases. The range that begins at 156 and goes upward captures the highest category. It covers everything at or beyond that threshold, which is what Category 5 represents—the most intense end of the scale. The other ranges stay below that cutoff, so they correspond to lower categories. If you think of Category 5 as the peak or extreme end, it makes sense that only the 156 and above range fits it.
