2. Regular exercise is beneficial for the muscular system by:

• A. Decreasing muscle mass
• B. Improving muscle strength and endurance
• C. Making muscles less flexible
• D. Increasing the risk of muscle tears

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Improving muscle strength and endurance.' Regular exercise is beneficial for the muscular system as it helps to strengthen muscles and increase endurance. By engaging in consistent physical activity, muscles adapt and grow stronger, which can enhance overall physical performance and reduce the risk of injury. Exercise also improves blood flow to the muscles, aiding in their recovery and growth. It does not decrease muscle mass (A), make muscles less flexible (C), or increase the risk of muscle tears (D), as long as proper form and gradual progression are followed.

3. Identify the predicate in the following sentence: "The children built a sandcastle on the beach."

• A. on the beach

6. What is molarity a measure of in a solution?

• A. Volume of the solvent
• B. Amount of solute
• C. Concentration of solute
• D. Temperature of the solution

Correct answer: c
