1. An element with atomic number 26 and mass number 56 is most likely to be:

• A. Iron (Fe)
• B. Cobalt (Co)
• C. Nickel (Ni)
• D. Manganese (Mn)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Iron (Fe) - Fe-56 has 26 protons and aligns with the given atomic number and mass number.

2. A lampshade consists of a cylindrical base (diameter 20cm, height 10cm) and a hemispherical top (same diameter as the base). What is its total surface area?

• A. 785 sq cm
• B. 1130 sq cm
• C. 1570 sq cm
• D. 2055 sq cm

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Calculate the surface area of the cylinder (base + lateral surface) and the hemisphere (half of a sphere's surface area). Add both areas to find the total surface area.

3. How do you spell the past participle of the verb "lie" (to recline)?

• A. lied
• B. lain
• C. lay
• D. lying

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The past participle of "lie" (to recline) is "lain," not "lied," which is the past tense.

4. Which property of matter remains constant regardless of changes in gravity?

• A. Mass
• B. Weight
• C. Volume
• D. Density

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of changes in gravity. Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass and can vary depending on the strength of gravity. Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, which can change depending on the environment, and density is the mass of an object per unit volume, which can also change with variations in gravity.

5. Which element is found in water and is crucial for biological functions like nerve impulses and muscle contraction?

• A. Sodium
• B. Potassium
• C. Calcium
• D. Magnesium

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Sodium plays a key role in maintaining electrolyte balance and transmitting nerve impulses, affecting both muscles and nerves

6. In a food chain, which trophic level captures energy from the sun?

• A. Decomposers
• B. Carnivores
• C. Producers
• D. Omnivores

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: Producers, such as plants, algae, and some bacteria, are the organisms in a food chain that capture energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. They convert sunlight into chemical energy, which is then passed on to other organisms in the food chain. Producers are at the base of the food chain and form the foundation for all other trophic levels to obtain energy. Decomposers (option A) break down organic matter, carnivores (option B) consume other animals, and omnivores (option D) consume both plants and animals, but they do not directly capture energy from the sun.
