1. What is the term for a solution that has exactly the same concentration of solute as another solution?

• A. Saturated solution
• B. Unsaturated solution
• C. Isotonic solution
• D. Concentrated solution

Correct answer: c

Rationale: An isotonic solution has the same concentration of solute as another solution. The other choices do not accurately describe an isotonic solution.

2. Katherine tells one of the staff, “I don’t have time to discuss the matter with you now. See me

• A. Smoothing
• B. Compromise
• C. Avoidance
• D. Restriction

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Compromise.' In this scenario, Katherine is willing to engage with the staff member but suggests they postpone the discussion to a later time. This demonstrates a willingness to find a middle ground or reach a mutual agreement, which aligns with the concept of compromise. 'Smoothing' involves downplaying differences to maintain harmony, 'Avoidance' is ignoring or postponing the issue altogether, and 'Restriction' refers to limiting the interaction or communication. Therefore, 'Compromise' best fits the situation where Katherine is open to discussing the matter at a more suitable time.

3. Which property of a wave determines its energy?

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

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Amplitude is directly related to the energy carried by a wave - higher amplitudes correspond to higher energy waves.

4. Which statement correctly describes the concept of ionization energy?

• A. The energy required to remove an electron from an outermost shell.
• B. The energy released when an electron bonds with an atom.
• C. The total energy possessed by all electrons in an atom.
• D. The energy needed to change an atom's nucleus.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The energy required to remove an electron from an outermost shell. Ionization energy varies depending on the element and electron configuration, indicating its difficulty to lose electrons and influencing its reactivity.

5. What term describes the point where parallel rays of light converge or appear to diverge from after passing through a lens or reflecting off a mirror?

• A. Aperture
• B. Focal length
• C. Refractive index
• D. Lens thickness

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The focal length is the term that describes the point where parallel rays of light converge or appear to diverge from after passing through a lens or reflecting off a mirror. It is a crucial parameter in optics and is used to determine the magnification and image formation in optical systems. The other options (A) Aperture, (C) Refractive index, and (D) Lens thickness are not directly related to the point where parallel rays of light converge or appear to diverge.

6. Which of the following is a pair of nerves that originates from the brain?

• A. Spinal nerves
• B. Olfactory nerves
• C. Sciatic nerve
• D. Optic nerve

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, Olfactory nerves, because they are a pair of cranial nerves that originate from the brain and are responsible for the sense of smell. Spinal nerves (option A) originate from the spinal cord, not the brain. The sciatic nerve (option C) is a large nerve that runs from the lower back down the back of each leg and also originates from the spinal cord, not the brain. The optic nerve (option D) is a cranial nerve that connects the eye to the brain, but it is not a pair of nerves that originates from the brain. Therefore, the olfactory nerves are the only pair of nerves listed that specifically originate from the brain.
