1. What is the main topic of the passage?

• A. Benefits of bioremediation in cleaning oil spills.
• B. Dangers of microplastics to marine ecosystems.
• C. History of plastic production and its global impact.
• D. Comparison of different waste management strategies.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage focuses on the specific issue of microplastics in the marine environment and their harmful effects.

2. A closed system in ecology is one that:

• A. Exchanges energy but not matter
• B. Exchanges both energy and matter
• C. Exchanges neither energy nor matter
• D. Recycles nutrients efficiently

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: In ecology, a closed system is one that does not exchange matter with its surroundings but can exchange energy. This means that while energy can enter or leave the system, the amount of matter within the system remains constant. This definition aligns with option A, making it the correct answer. Options B and C are incorrect because a closed system does not exchange matter, and option D is not directly related to the definition of a closed system in ecology.

3. A reaction between an acid and a base is known as:

• A. Precipitation
• B. Neutralization
• C. Oxidation-reduction
• D. Photolysis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When an acid and a base react, they neutralize each other's properties

4. What tool helps scientists identify and classify organisms based on their shared characteristics?

• A. Binomial nomenclature
• B. Cladistics
• C. Dichotomous key
• D. Domain-based classification

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: A) Binomial nomenclature is a system used to give each organism a two-part scientific name (genus and species) but does not help in identifying or classifying organisms based on shared characteristics. B) Cladistics is a method of classification based on evolutionary relationships and shared characteristics, but it is not a tool used for identifying organisms. C) Dichotomous key is a tool that helps scientists identify and classify organisms based on their shared characteristics by presenting a series of choices leading the user to the correct identification. D) Domain-based classification is a system of classification that groups organisms into three domains (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya) based on molecular and genetic similarities, but it is not a tool used for identifying organisms based on shared characteristics.

5. What is the correct way to write "25th anniversary" as a word?

• A. Twenty-fiveth anniversary
• B. Twenty Fiveth Anniversary
• C. Twenty fifth anniversary
• D. twenty-fifth anniversary

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Ordinals (numbers with "th", "st", "nd", etc.) are generally written as words when used before nouns. Option (d) is correct.

6. A triangular scarf has sides measuring 10cm, 12cm, and 15cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 27cm
• B. 32cm
• C. 37cm
• D. 45cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Simply add the lengths of all sides: perimeter = side1 + side2 + side3 = 10cm + 12cm + 15cm = 37cm.
