1. How does the mass of an object affect its inertia?

• A. Mass has no impact on inertia
• B. Higher mass increases inertia
• C. Higher mass decreases inertia
• D. Mass influences gravitational force, not inertia

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia because it requires more force to change its state of motion. This is in line with Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force.

2. Which of the following is the smallest unit of matter?

• A. Molecule
• B. Atom
• C. Compound
• D. Element

Correct answer: B

Rationale: An atom is the fundamental building block of matter, while molecules are formed by the combination of atoms.

3. Which of the following is a weak acid commonly found in citrus fruits?

• A. Sulfuric acid (Hâ‚‚SOâ‚„)
• B. Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
• C. Citric acid
• D. Nitric acid (HNO₃)

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Citric acid is a weak acid commonly found in citrus fruits. The other choices are strong acids.

4. What type of error occurs in the sentence "Everyone knew who the culprit was, except for me"?

• A. Subject-verb agreement
• B. Misplaced modifier
• C. Dangling participle
• D. Pronoun-antecedent agreement

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The phrase "except for me" modifies "everyone," but it is misplaced after the verb "knew," causing confusion.

5. Recognize the opposing muscle pair.

• A. Bicep and tricep (Arm flexion and extension)
• B. Hamstring and quadriceps (Knee extension and flexion)
• C. Pectoralis major and pectoralis minor (Chest muscles)
• D. Trapezius and deltoid (Shoulder movement)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The bicep and tricep muscles are antagonistic muscle pairs, meaning they work in opposition to each other. The bicep is located on the front of the upper arm and is responsible for flexing the elbow joint. The tricep is located on the back of the upper arm and is responsible for extending the elbow joint.

6. 12 is a/an:

• A. even number
• B. odd number
• C. prime number
• D. composite number

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Even numbers are integers divisible by 2 without a remainder. Since 12 divided by 2 equals 6 with no remainder, 12 is even.
