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. The science of classifying organisms into different groups based on their evolutionary relationships is called:

• A. Taxonomy
• B. Microbiology
• C. Genetics
• D. Epidemiology

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: Taxonomy is the science of classifying organisms into different groups based on their evolutionary relationships. It involves identifying, naming, and categorizing living organisms according to their similarities and differences. Microbiology (option B) is the study of microorganisms, Genetics (option C) is the study of genes and heredity, and Epidemiology (option D) is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in populations.

3. Identify the subject in the following sentence: "The red car parked in the driveway."

• A. driveway
• B. red
• C. car
• D. the

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The subject is the noun or pronoun performing the action or being described in the sentence.

4. The energy absorbed during a chemical reaction is called:

• A. Kinetic energy
• B. Potential energy
• C. Heat energy
• D. Endothermic energy

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Endothermic means "inward heat," indicating energy is absorbed during the reaction.

5. What type of genetic variation is caused by changes in the DNA sequence?

• A. Epigenetic variation
• B. Phenotypic variation
• C. Genotypic variation
• D. Behavioral variation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: A) Epigenetic variation refers to changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations in the DNA sequence itself. These changes can be influenced by environmental factors. B) Phenotypic variation refers to differences in observable traits or characteristics of an organism, which can be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. C) Genotypic variation is caused by changes in the DNA sequence, such as mutations or genetic recombination. These changes directly impact the genetic information carried by an organism. D) Behavioral variation refers to differences in behavior among individuals of the same species, which can be influenced by genetic, environmental, and experiential factors.

6. Which type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of blood vessels and helps regulate blood flow?

• A. Skeletal muscle
• B. Smooth muscle
• C. Cardiac muscle
• D. Striated muscle

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Smooth muscle. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of blood vessels and plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow by contracting and relaxing to adjust the diameter of the blood vessels. Skeletal muscle (option A) is responsible for movement of the body, cardiac muscle (option C) is found in the heart and responsible for pumping blood, and striated muscle (option D) refers to both skeletal and cardiac muscle due to their striated appearance. Therefore, the specific type of muscle tissue in blood vessel walls is smooth muscle.
