1. What is the difference between a real image and a virtual image formed by a lens?

• A. Real images can be projected onto a screen, while virtual images cannot.
• B. Real images are always upright, while virtual images can be inverted.
• C. Real images are formed by converging lenses, while virtual images are formed by diverging lenses.
• D. All of the above are true.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Real images are formed by the actual convergence of light rays and can be projected onto a screen, while virtual images are formed by the apparent divergence of light rays and cannot be projected.

2. What is the function of the underlined phrase "with a mischievous grin" in the sentence "He approached her with a mischievous grin, his eyes twinkling"?

• A. Subject
• B. Direct object
• C. Adverbial phrase
• D. Appositive phrase

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The underlined phrase modifies the verb "approached" by describing his manner, making it an adverbial phrase.

3. The primary function of the strong nuclear force is:

• A. Binding electrons in atomic orbitals
• B. Binding protons and neutrons within the nucleus
• C. Mediating the attractive force between opposite charges
• D. Mediating the repulsive force between like charges

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The strong nuclear force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons within the nucleus. This force is crucial for overcoming the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons in the nucleus, holding the nucleus together. Option A is incorrect as it refers to the role of the electromagnetic force in binding electrons in atomic orbitals. Option C describes the electromagnetic force that mediates the attraction between opposite charges, while option D refers to the electromagnetic force mediating the repulsion between like charges. Understanding the primary function of the strong nuclear force helps explain the stability and structure of atomic nuclei.

4. What is the main function of energy storage technologies in the context of renewable energy?

• A. Reduce the cost of producing solar and wind power.
• B. Enhance the efficiency of energy transmission and distribution.
• C. Compensate for the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources.
• D. Eliminate the need for fossil fuels in electricity generation.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C directly addresses the passage's emphasis on managing the fluctuating availability of renewable energy, hence being the main function of storage technologies.

5. Which of the following is an example of static friction?

• A. Sliding a heavy box across the floor
• B. A car moving around a curve
• C. Pushing a stationary object
• D. Braking a car to stop

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Static friction occurs when an object is at rest and prevents it from moving when a force is applied.

6. What is the term for a group of organisms living in the same place and interacting with each other?

• A. Ecosystem
• B. Community
• C. Population
• D. Niche

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - A) Ecosystem refers to a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. - B) Community specifically refers to a group of organisms of different species living in the same place and interacting with each other. - C) Population refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in the same area. - D) Niche refers to the role or function of an organism or species within an ecosystem. In this context, the term for a group of organisms living in the same place and interacting with each other is best described as a community because it involves multiple species interacting within a shared habitat.
