1. Two objects with different masses collide. What happens to their momentum after the collision?

• A. Increases for both objects
• B. Decreases for both objects
• C. Remains the same for both objects
• D. Can increase for one and decrease for the other

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In an isolated system (no external forces), the total momentum

2. Square: A garden bed has a side length of 8 meters. What is its perimeter?

• A. 16m
• B. 24m
• C. 32m
• D. 64m

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Since all sides are equal, multiply the side length by 4: perimeter = 4 * side length = 4 * 8m = 32m.

3. Which word correctly completes the sentence: "He was _____ by the kindness of strangers."

• A. affected
• B. infected
• C. effected
• D. defected

Rationale: "Effected" means to produce a result or impression, aligning with the emotional impact of the strangers' kindness.

4. How can the periodic table be used to predict the charge of an ion formed by an element?

• A. Look for elements with similar atomic weights.
• B. Identify the group number, which corresponds to the typical ionic charge.
• C. Calculate the difference between protons and electrons.
• D. Analyze the element's position within the period.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Identify the group number, which corresponds to the typical ionic charge. Elements tend to gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration like the noble gas group. Their group number often indicates the number of electrons gained/lost and the resulting ionic charge.

5. Simple columnar epithelium lining the small intestine is crucial for:

• A. Movement
• B. Support
• C. Absorption
• D. Insulation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Absorption. The simple columnar epithelium lining the small intestine is crucial for absorption due to its structure and function. It has microvilli that increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption. This epithelium also contains specialized cells like goblet cells that secrete mucus to protect the lining and aid in the movement of materials. Movement (choice A) is more related to muscle tissue rather than epithelial tissue. Support (choice B) is usually provided by connective tissue rather than epithelial tissue. Insulation (choice D) is not a function of the simple columnar epithelium in the small intestine.

6. Which word has the same root as "unscathed"?

• A. category
• B. scar
• C. scratch
• D. category
