• A. To be physically close
• B. To agree or understand each other
• C. To be sharing the same goal
• D. To be facing the same direction

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The phrase means to be in agreement or share the same understanding.

2. What is the term for the chemical reaction that involves the loss of electrons?

• A. Reduction
• B. Oxidation
• C. Neutralization
• D. Precipitation

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Oxidation is the chemical reaction that involves the loss of electrons. The other choices describe different types of reactions.

3. During gas exchange in the alveoli, what happens to oxygen?

• A. Oxygen is released from the bloodstream into the alveoli.
• B. Oxygen is absorbed from the alveoli into the bloodstream.
• C. Oxygen is converted into carbon dioxide.
• D. Oxygen is stored in the alveoli for later use.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: During gas exchange in the alveoli, oxygen is absorbed from the alveoli into the bloodstream. In the alveoli, oxygen diffuses across the thin walls of the alveoli and into the surrounding capillaries where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. This oxygen-rich blood is then transported to the body's tissues for cellular respiration. Therefore, option B is correct as it accurately describes the direction of oxygen movement during the process of gas exchange in the lungs.

4. Which of the following conclusions of Ms. Castro about leadership characteristics is TRUE?

• A. There is a high correlation between the communication skills of a leader and the ability to get
• B. A manager is effective when he has the ability to plan well.
• C. Assessment of personal traits is a reliable tool for predicting a manager’s potential.
• D. There is good evidence that certain personal qualities favor success in managerial role.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because effective communication skills are essential for a leader to successfully convey ideas, motivate teams, and build relationships. Strong communication skills enable a leader to articulate goals clearly, listen to feedback, and resolve conflicts efficiently. This correlation between communication skills and leadership effectiveness has been well-documented in numerous studies. In contrast, options B, C, and D are not universally true statements about leadership characteristics. While planning skills and personal traits may contribute to effective leadership, they are not as directly linked to leadership success as communication skills. Therefore, option A is the most accurate conclusion about leadership characteristics among the choices provided.

5. What defines the period of a wave?

• A. The number of waves passing a point per unit time
• B. The distance between two adjacent crests or troughs
• C. The time it takes for one complete wave cycle to pass a point
• D. The maximum displacement of particles in a medium due to the wave

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The period of a wave is defined as the time it takes for one complete wave cycle to pass a point. It is typically measured in seconds and is inversely related to the frequency of the wave. The period is not related to the number of waves passing a point per unit time (A), the distance between two adjacent crests or troughs (B), or the maximum displacement of particles in a medium due to the wave (D).

6. What type of energy does a stretched rubber band possess?

• A. Kinetic energy
• B. Potential energy
• C. Thermal energy
• D. Mechanical energy

Correct answer:

Rationale: When a rubber band is stretched, it stores potential energy due to its position or state.
