1. What is the primary function of hair on the human body?

• A. Insulation
• B. Sensory perception
• C. Protection
• D. Vitamin D synthesis

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The primary function of hair on the human body is insulation. Hair acts as a protective layer to help regulate body temperature by trapping heat close to the skin. This insulation property is especially important in colder climates to prevent excessive heat loss from the body. While hair can also provide some level of protection from external elements and minor injuries, its main role is to insulate the body. Sensory perception is mainly attributed to nerve endings in the skin rather than hair. Vitamin D synthesis is primarily dependent on exposure to sunlight rather than hair. Therefore, option A, insulation, is the correct answer.

2. What is the measure of the total amount of space occupied by an object?

• A. Mass
• B. Density
• C. Weight
• D. Volume

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Volume is the measure of the total amount of space occupied by an object and is typically measured in cubic units such as cubic meters or liters.

3. The term "unconditional" in the context of UBI signifies that

• A. The amount received would be based on individual income and living expenses.
• B. Recipients would be required to meet certain criteria to qualify for the program.
• C. The money would be provided without any restrictions on how it is spent.
• D. The program would be temporary and subject to periodic review and renewal.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The unconditional aspect of UBI refers to the lack of strings attached to its receipt, aligning with C.

4. Reactions requiring light energy to proceed are classified as:

• A. Combustion reactions
• B. Endothermic reactions
• C. Photochemical reactions
• D. Double displacement reactions

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Photochemical reactions." Photochemical reactions are a type of chemical reaction that requires light energy to proceed. During a photochemical reaction, light energy is absorbed by a substance, leading to changes in its chemical structure or properties. This process is different from combustion reactions (A), which involve the rapid combination of a fuel with oxygen to release heat and light energy. Endothermic reactions (B) absorb heat energy, not light energy, to proceed. Double displacement reactions (D) involve the exchange of ions between reactants, but do not specifically require light energy to occur. Therefore, the most appropriate classification for reactions requiring light energy is photochemical reactions.

5. What is the best way to punctuate the dialogue "Are you coming?" she asked. "Maybe," I replied.

• A. "Are you coming?" she asked? "Maybe," I replied.
• B. "Are you coming?" she asked. "Maybe," I replied.
• C. "Are you coming?" she asked, "Maybe," I replied.
• D. "Are you coming?" she asked, "Maybe," I replied.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Each speaker's words need quotation marks, and the question mark should go inside the closing quotation mark of the question.

6. What is the formula to calculate work?

• A. Work = Force × Distance
• B. Work = Mass × Velocity
• C. Work = Power × Time
• D. Work = Energy ÷ Time

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Work is calculated by multiplying force exerted on an object by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.
