1. What is the unit of measurement for force in the International System of Units (SI)?

• A. Newton (N)
• B. Kilogram (kg)
• C. Joule (J)
• D. Meter per second squared (m/s²)

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Force is measured in Newtons (N) in the SI system.

2. What property of matter determines its resistance to changes in shape or size?

• A. Solid
• B. Liquid
• C. Gas
• D. Plasma

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Liquids have a definite volume but can take the shape of their container, unlike solids with fixed shapes and volumes.

3. What is the term for a solution with a pH value less than 7?

• A. Acidic
• B. Neutral
• C. Alkaline
• D. Basic

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic. The other choices do not accurately describe solutions with a pH less than 7.

4. What is the name of the radioactive isotope commonly used in medical imaging techniques like PET scans?

• A. Uranium-235
• B. Plutonium-239
• C. Potassium-40
• D. Fluorine-18

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Fluorine-18 is the radioactive isotope commonly used in medical imaging techniques like PET scans. It is often used in the form of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to detect areas of increased metabolic activity in the body, such as in cancer cells. Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239 are not typically used in medical imaging, and Potassium-40 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope found in the human body but is not commonly used in medical imaging techniques.

5. Identify the pronoun in the following sentence: She quickly finished her homework before dinner.

• A. quickly
• B. finished
• C. her
• D. before

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Pronouns take the place of nouns. "Her" replaces a specific female person's name.

6. Which of the following is a characteristic of a solution with a high viscosity?

• A. It flows easily
• B. It has a low resistance to flow
• C. It has a high resistance to flow
• D. It does not mix with other liquids

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Solutions with high viscosity have a high resistance to flow. The other choices do not accurately describe high viscosity.
