1. The element responsible for the green color of leaves is:

• A. Magnesium
• B. Iron
• C. Copper
• D. Zinc

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Magnesium is the central element of chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis

2. What is the acceleration of an object moving at a constant speed of 20 m/s if it comes to a complete stop within 5 seconds?

• A. 0 m/s² (no acceleration)
• B. 4 m/s²
• C. -4 m/s²
• D. Information insufficient

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The acceleration can be calculated using the formula: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. In this case, the final velocity is 0 m/s (as the object comes to a complete stop), the initial velocity is 20 m/s, and the time taken is 5 seconds. Plugging these values into the formula, we get acceleration = (0 m/s - 20 m/s) / 5 s = -20 m/s / 5 s = -4 m/s². Therefore, the acceleration is -4 m/s².

3. The ability of a substance to dissolve in another is called:

• A. Solubility
• B. Miscibility
• C. Immiscibility
• D. Reactivity

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Solubility refers to the extent to which one substance can dissolve in another to form a homogeneous solution.

4. What is the stoichiometric coefficient of nitrogen (N2) in the balanced equation for the Haber process: N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: a

Rationale: The coefficient of N2 is 1 in the balanced equation

5. The human body's command center, integrating sensory information and coordinating movement and vital functions, is the:

• A. Lungs
• B. Brain
• C. Kidneys
• D. Stomach

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Brain. The brain serves as the command center of the human body, receiving sensory information from various parts of the body and coordinating responses. It is responsible for controlling movement, regulating vital functions such as breathing and heart rate, and processing thoughts and emotions. The lungs (A), kidneys (C), and stomach (D) each have specific functions within the body, but they do not serve as the central command center like the brain does. Therefore, the brain is the correct answer to this question.

6. Identify the incorrect usage of punctuation in the following sentence: "The children, eager to play, ran outside. It was a beautiful day."

• A. comma after "children"
• B. comma after "play"
• C. period after "outside"
• D. no errors

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The two sentences are independent clauses and should be separated by a semicolon or period, not a comma.
