1. The author's tone towards UBI can be described as

• A. Strongly supportive, advocating for its immediate implementation without reservations.
• B. Strongly critical, highlighting only the potential drawbacks and dismissing its benefits.
• C. Neutral and objective, presenting both sides of the argument without taking a stance.
• D. Cautiously optimistic, acknowledging both the potential and challenges while calling for further discussion.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage acknowledges both positive and negative aspects of UBI, suggesting a cautious and balanced perspective, aligning with D.

2. What happens to the density of a gas when its temperature increases at constant pressure?

• A. It increases.
• B. It decreases.
• C. It remains the same.
• D. Information insufficient

Correct answer: B

Rationale: As gas particles gain thermal energy with increasing temperature, they spread out, decreasing the density.

3. Which type of waves are capable of interference and diffraction?

• A. Longitudinal waves only
• B. Transverse waves only
• C. Electromagnetic waves only
• D. Both longitudinal and transverse waves

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Both longitudinal and transverse waves can exhibit interference and diffraction phenomena.

4. Maintaining good muscle strength and flexibility as we age becomes important to avoid:

• A. Headaches
• B. Falls
• C. Anxiety
• D. Common cold

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Falls.' Maintaining good muscle strength and flexibility as we age is crucial for preventing falls, which become more common with age and can lead to serious injuries such as fractures. Strong muscles and good flexibility help in maintaining balance and stability, reducing the risk of falls. Headaches, anxiety, and the common cold are not directly related to muscle strength and flexibility, making them less likely to be avoided by focusing on these aspects of physical health.

5. Which type of nutrient requires the most complex and lengthy digestion process?

• A. Carbohydrates
• B. Proteins
• C. Fats
• D. Vitamins

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Proteins require the most complex and lengthy digestion process among the options provided. When we consume proteins, they need to be broken down into amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. This process starts in the stomach with the help of stomach acid and enzymes, continues in the small intestine where more enzymes break down proteins into amino acids, and finally, these amino acids are absorbed into the bloodstream for various bodily functions. Carbohydrates and fats also require digestion, but the process for breaking down proteins into amino acids is more complex and time-consuming. Vitamins, on the other hand, do not require digestion in the same way as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, as they are already in a form that can be readily absorbed by the body.

6. What is the half-life of a radioactive isotope, and how does it relate to its decay rate?

• A. The time it takes for half of the initial sample to decay.
• B. The time it takes for all the sample to decay.
• C. The rate at which new isotopes are created.
• D. The energy released during decay.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Half-life tells the time it takes for half of the original radioactive nuclei to decay, offering an indication of the decay rate.
