What is the primary flight control to consider when countering a rolling upset during normal (unstalled) flight?

Rudder unless you must use aileron

Ailerons unless you must use rudder

Elevator by pulling the nose up to the horizon immediately

Power to accelerate through the rolling disturbance (such as wake turbulence)

If a pilot applies backpressure in unstalled, positive G flight while overbanked beyond 90 degrees or inverted, what resulting effect is there on dive angle?

The dive angle will increase

Applying back pressure beyond 90 degrees of bank has no effect on dive angle

The dive angle will reduce (get shallower) the longer and harder the pilot applies back pressure

In all attitudes during positive G flight, in what general direction is the lift vector pointing in relation to the pilot?

In the general direction of the pilo's spine (out the top of the pilot's head) when sitting erect in the cockpit

It points at nearly the same direction as the nose of the airplane

The lift vector is alway parallel the wing spar

Irrespective of the aircraft’s attitude, if the pilot feels positive G’s (i.e. pressed into his seat), is the airplane’s main wing experiencing a positive AOA while in flight?

Yes

If a normal category single-engine airplane’s POH has a published spin recovery procedure, is that airplane guaranteed by the manufacturer to be recoverable from a fully-developed spin beyond one turn?

Yes
