1. Based on the passage, the author most likely believes that

• A. Individual actions are insignificant in addressing climate change, and only large-scale initiatives matter.
• B. Adaptation to the changing climate is impossible, and societal collapse is inevitable.
• C. Transitioning to renewable energy and sustainable practices offers hope for mitigating climate change.
• D. The scientific evidence for climate change is unreliable, and further research is needed before taking action.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The focus on global efforts, renewable energy, and sustainable practices suggests an optimistic outlook on mitigating climate change, aligning with C.

2. Which part of the nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals from the sensory organs to the central nervous system?

• A. Autonomic nervous system
• B. Somatic nervous system
• C. Peripheral nervous system
• D. Central nervous system

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals from the sensory organs to the central nervous system. It consists of nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord that carry information to and from the central nervous system. The autonomic nervous system (A) regulates internal bodily functions, the somatic nervous system (B) controls voluntary movements, and the central nervous system (D) includes the brain and spinal cord where processing of signals occurs, rather than transmitting signals from the sensory organs.

3. Which of the following numbers is NOT divisible by 3?

• A. 105
• B. 141
• C. 273
• D. 810

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: To determine if a number is divisible by 3, we can check if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then the original number is also divisible by 3. A) 105: 1 + 0 + 5 = 6, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 105 is divisible by 3. B) 141: 1 + 4 + 1 = 6, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 141 is divisible by 3. C) 273: 2 + 7 + 3 = 12, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 273 is divisible by 3. D) 810: 8 + 1 + 0 = 9, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 810 is divisible by 3. Since all the

4. What is the electron configuration of an atom?

• A. The arrangement of electrons in an atom's orbitals.
• B. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
• C. The number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
• D. The number of electrons in an atom's valence shell.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The electron configuration of an atom refers to the arrangement of electrons in the atom's orbitals. This arrangement determines the atom's chemical properties and behavior. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus (option B) is known as the atomic number, while the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus (option C) contributes to the atom's mass number. The number of electrons in an atom's valence shell (option D) is important for understanding the atom's reactivity and bonding behavior.

5. What is the term for the process of converting a liquid into a gas at a temperature below its boiling point?

• A. Vaporization
• B. Evaporation
• C. Condensation
• D. Sublimation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Evaporation is the process of converting a liquid into a gas at a temperature below its boiling point. The other choices describe different phase changes.

6. Which of the following is NOT a type of chemical bond?

• A. Ionic bond
• B. Covalent bond
• C. Metallic bond
• D. Gravitational bond

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Although gravity exists, it's not considered a chemical bond responsible for holding atoms together within molecules.
