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

• A. 16m
• B. 24m
• C. 32m
• D. 64m

Correct answer: C

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

2. Identify the participial phrase in the following sentence: "Running through the park, she spotted a squirrel."

• A. Running
• B. through the park
• C. she spotted
• D. a squirrel

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A participial phrase acts as an adjective but is formed from a verb.

3. Which state of matter has particles that are highly organized in a fixed pattern and vibrate in place?

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

Correct answer: a

Rationale: In solids, particles are tightly packed in an ordered arrangement and vibrate around fixed positions, giving solids a definite shape and volume.

4. Which part of the heart generates the QRS complex on an ECG?

• A. Sinoatrial node (SA node)
• B. Atrioventricular node (AV node)
• C. Bundle of His
• D. Ventricular muscle cells

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, ventricular muscle cells. The QRS complex on an ECG represents the depolarization of the ventricles. This electrical activity is generated by the spread of impulses through the bundle branches and Purkinje fibers to the ventricular muscle cells. The SA node (option A) is responsible for initiating the electrical impulse in the heart, but it does not directly generate the QRS complex. The AV node (option B) delays the impulse to allow for proper coordination of atrial and ventricular contractions. The Bundle of His (option C) and its branches facilitate the conduction of the electrical signal from the AV node to the ventricles but do not generate the QRS complex directly.

5. What happens to the acceleration of an object when the force acting on it is increased, assuming the mass remains constant?

• A. Acceleration increases
• B. Acceleration decreases
• C. Acceleration remains constant
• D. Acceleration becomes zero

Correct answer: a

Rationale: According to Newton's second law (F = ma), if mass is constant and force increases, acceleration also increases.

6. Which statement accurately defines power?

• A. Power is the amount of energy stored in an object
• B. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done
• C. Power is the maximum force exerted by an object
• D. Power is the resistance of an object to change in motion

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Power measures how quickly work is done or energy is transferred or converted.
