1. Which term describes the resistance of a substance to being hammered into different shapes?

• A. Viscosity
• B. Ductility
• C. Malleability
• D. Conductivity

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Malleability refers to the resistance of a substance to being hammered or pressed into different shapes without breaking.

2. The rigid structure that provides shape and support to plant cells is called the:

• A. Cell wall
• B. Plasma membrane
• C. Nucleus
• D. Cytoplasm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Cell wall. The cell wall is a rigid structure found in plant cells, providing support and shape to the cell. It is composed mainly of cellulose, a tough and fibrous substance that helps plants maintain their structure. The plasma membrane, option B, is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell and regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell. The nucleus, option C, is the control center of the cell that contains genetic material. Cytoplasm, option D, is the jelly-like substance that fills the cell and houses organelles. In this context, the function of providing shape and support points specifically to the cell wall, making it the correct choice.

3. A ball is thrown horizontally off a cliff with a speed of 10 m/s. What is the horizontal distance the ball travels before hitting the ground?

• A. 10 m
• B. 20m
• C. 30m
• D. Cannot be determined without knowing the height of the cliff

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When a ball is thrown horizontally, its horizontal velocity remains constant throughout its motion. The time taken to hit the ground is determined by the vertical motion, which is independent of the horizontal velocity. Therefore, the horizontal distance traveled by the ball is determined by the horizontal velocity and the time taken to hit the ground. In this case, the horizontal distance is calculated as distance = velocity × time = 10 m/s × time. Since the horizontal velocity is 10 m/s and the time taken to hit the ground is determined by the vertical motion, the horizontal distance traveled by the ball is 10 m/s × time. Without knowing the height of the cliff, we can still determine the horizontal distance traveled by the ball, which is 10 m/s × time.

4. Which property of a wave determines its loudness in sound waves?

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

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Amplitude in sound waves relates to the loudness or intensity of the sound.

5. What is the meaning of the idiom "to bite off more than one can chew"?

• A. To be overly confident
• B. To take on more than one can handle
• C. To be easily discouraged
• D. To be meticulous in planning

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The idiom warns against undertaking a task exceeding one's capabilities.

6. Ms. Valencia prepares the process standards. Which of the following is NOT a process

• A. Initial assessment shall be done to all patients within twenty four hours upon admission.
• B. Informed consent shall be secured prior to any invasive procedure
• C. Patients’ reports 95% satisfaction rate prior to discharge from the hospital.
• D. Patient education about their illness and treatment shall be provided for all patients and their

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this question, Ms. Valencia is tasked with preparing process standards, which are systematic procedures or steps followed to ensure quality care. Options A, B, and C all refer to specific processes that are essential in healthcare: timely assessment, obtaining informed consent, and assessing patient satisfaction. However, option D about providing patient education is more focused on an outcome (patient education) rather than a specific process standard. While patient education is important, the question is asking for a process standard, making option D the correct answer as it does not directly relate to a specific process standard.
