Rationale: An interrogative sentence asks a question and typically ends with a question mark.

2. Which term refers to the resistance of a liquid to flow?

• A. Density
• B. Viscosity
• C. Surface tension
• D. Boiling point

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Viscosity is the term that refers to the resistance of a liquid to flow. It is a measure of how thick or sticky a fluid is, and it determines how easily a liquid can flow. Density (A) is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, surface tension (C) is the property of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force due to the cohesive nature of its molecules, and boiling point (D) is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a vapor.

3. A scientist observes a new species of plant with unusual leaves. They hypothesize that the leaves help capture more sunlight. Which observation would LEAST support this hypothesis?

• A. The plant grows in shady environments.
• B. The leaves have a large surface area.
• C. The leaves contain high levels of chlorophyll.
• D. The plant has shallow roots.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If the plant thrives in shade, it suggests the leaves may have adapted for other purposes than maximizing sunlight capture.

4. Which structure, located between the pons and the spinal cord, plays a crucial role in coordinating movements, maintaining balance, and posture?

• A. Thalamus
• B. Medulla oblongata
• C. Cerebellum
• D. Hypothalamus

Correct answer: c

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Cerebellum. The cerebellum is the structure located between the pons and the spinal cord that plays a crucial role in coordinating movements, maintaining balance, and posture. It receives information from sensory systems and integrates this input to fine-tune motor activity. The thalamus (A) is a relay station for sensory information, the medulla oblongata (B) is involved in vital functions like heartbeat and breathing, and the hypothalamus (D) regulates various metabolic processes and homeostasis. Therefore, the cerebellum is the most appropriate choice for a structure responsible for movement coordination and balance.

5. 7 is divisible by which of the following numbers?

• A. 2 only
• B. 3 only
• C. 1 and 7 only
• D. 2, 3, and 7

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. 7 is divisible by 1 because every number is divisible by 1. 2. 7 is divisible by 7 because any number is divisible by itself. 3. 7 is not divisible by 2 because 7 is an odd number and not divisible by 2. 4. 7 is not divisible by 3 because the sum of the digits of 7 (7) is not divisible by 3. Therefore, 7 is divisible by 1, 7, and itself (7), making the correct answer D) 2, 3, and 7.

6. Which of the following is a unit of work and energy?

• A. Pascal (Pa)
• B. Kilowatt-hour (kWh)
• C. Coulomb (C)
• D. Tesla (T)

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Kilowatt-hour is a unit used to measure both work and energy, especially in the context of electricity consumption.
