1. What is the Doppler effect, and how does it explain the shift in frequency of sound waves perceived by an observer?

• A. It only affects light waves, not sound waves.
• B. It's the change in wave speed due to medium density.
• C. It's the perceived change in frequency due to relative motion.
• D. It's the bending of waves due to different mediums.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The Doppler effect describes how the perceived frequency of a wave changes depending on the relative motion between the source and observer. For example, an approaching siren sounds higher pitched due to compressed wavefronts, while a receding siren sounds lower due to stretched wavefronts.

2. What is the main purpose of biological classification?

• A. To create a rigid and unchanging system for labeling organisms
• B. To understand the diversity and interconnectedness of life
• C. To simplify nature into neat and tidy categories
• D. To assign organisms to specific ecological niches

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Biological classification, also known as taxonomy, is the science of categorizing and organizing living organisms based on shared characteristics. The main purpose of biological classification is not to create a rigid and unchanging system (option A) or to simplify nature into neat and tidy categories (option C). Instead, it aims to help us understand the diversity of life on Earth and how different organisms are related to each other. By classifying organisms into groups based on their evolutionary relationships, we can gain insights into the interconnectedness of life and better appreciate the complexity and beauty of the natural world. Assigning organisms to specific ecological niches (option D) is more related to ecological studies rather than biological classification.

3. The phrase "robust ethical frameworks" refers to

• A. Complex algorithms and mathematical models used in AI development.
• B. Comprehensive sets of guidelines and regulations governing AI development and deployment.
• C. Advanced hardware and software systems necessary for building powerful AI systems.
• D. Public education campaigns raising awareness about the potential benefits and risks of AI.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Ethical frameworks are sets of principles and guidelines that ensure responsible AI development and address potential risks, aligning with B.

4. What is a potential limitation of using case studies in scientific research?

• A. They offer unique insights and perspectives not found in large-scale studies.
• B. They can be easily replicated and validated by other researchers.
• C. They often present limited data points and may not be generalizable to larger populations.
• D. They require sophisticated statistical analysis, making them difficult to interpret.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: While case studies provide valuable individual details, their small sample size and specific context limit their ability to represent broader trends or populations.

5. Which type of waves are capable of interference and diffraction?

• A. Longitudinal waves only
• B. Transverse waves only
• C. Electromagnetic waves only
• D. Both longitudinal and transverse waves

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Both longitudinal and transverse waves can exhibit interference and diffraction phenomena.

6. Ms. Valencia prepares the process standards. Which of the following is NOT a process

• A. Initial assessment shall be done to all patients within twenty four hours upon admission.
• B. Informed consent shall be secured prior to any invasive procedure
• C. Patients’ reports 95% satisfaction rate prior to discharge from the hospital.
• D. Patient education about their illness and treatment shall be provided for all patients and their

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this question, Ms. Valencia is tasked with preparing process standards, which are systematic procedures or steps followed to ensure quality care. Options A, B, and C all refer to specific processes that are essential in healthcare: timely assessment, obtaining informed consent, and assessing patient satisfaction. However, option D about providing patient education is more focused on an outcome (patient education) rather than a specific process standard. While patient education is important, the question is asking for a process standard, making option D the correct answer as it does not directly relate to a specific process standard.
