1. Which biome is characterized by cold temperatures, permafrost, and coniferous trees?

• A. Tundra
• B. Desert
• C. Rainforest
• D. Savanna

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) Tundra: This biome is characterized by cold temperatures, permafrost (permanently frozen subsoil), and vegetation such as mosses, lichens, and coniferous trees like spruce and fir. The tundra is found in high latitudes near the Arctic Circle and high altitudes in mountainous regions. B) Desert: Deserts are characterized by low precipitation levels and high temperatures, with sparse vegetation adapted to arid conditions. C) Rainforest: Rainforests are characterized by high levels of rainfall, warm temperatures, and dense vegetation with a variety of plant and animal species. D) Savanna: Savannas are tropical grasslands with scattered trees and shrubs, characterized by a distinct wet and dry season. In this case, the description of cold temperatures, permafrost, and coniferous trees aligns most closely with the characteristics of the tundra biome, making option A

2. What is the term for a solution that has a higher concentration of solute compared to another solution?

• A. Saturated solution
• B. Unsaturated solution
• C. Dilute solution
• D. Concentrated solution

Correct answer: d

Rationale: A concentrated solution has a higher concentration of solute compared to another solution. The other choices do not accurately describe a concentrated solution.

3. What term describes the maximum displacement of particles from their rest position in a wave?

• A. Frequency
• B. Wavelength
• C. Amplitude
• D. Velocity

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The term that describes the maximum displacement of particles from their rest position in a wave is called the amplitude. Amplitude is a measure of the strength or intensity of a wave and is represented by the height of the wave from the rest position to the crest (or trough) of the wave. Frequency (A) refers to the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time, wavelength (B) is the distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) of a wave, and velocity (D) is the speed of the wave.

4. The speaker's enthusiasm was contagious. Which word is the noun form of the adjective "enthusiastic"?

• A. enthusiastic
• B. enthusiastically
• C. enthusiasm
• D. enthuse

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Nouns can be formed from adjectives using various suffixes.

5. Which of the following nutrients is essential for muscle growth and repair?

• A. Vitamin C
• B. Protein
• C. Carbohydrates
• D. Fat

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Protein. Protein is essential for muscle growth and repair because it provides the necessary building blocks called amino acids. These amino acids are crucial for repairing and building muscle tissue, which is essential for overall muscle growth and recovery. While vitamins like Vitamin C play a role in overall health and immune function, they are not directly involved in muscle growth and repair. Carbohydrates provide energy for workouts, but they are not the primary nutrient needed for muscle repair. Fat is important for overall health but is not as directly involved in muscle growth and repair as protein is.

6. When ice melts, it undergoes a…

• A. Chemical change
• B. Physical change
• C. Nuclear change
• D. Radioactive decay

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Melting is a change in physical state, not a change in the chemical composition of the ice.
