1. The scientist discovered a new species of butterfly in the rainforest. What is the past tense of the verb "discover"?

• A. discovers
• B. discovered
• C. discovering
• D. discovery

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The past tense of a verb describes an action that happened in the past.

2. Which blood vessels carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body?

• A. Pulmonary arteries
• B. Pulmonary veins
• C. Systemic arteries
• D. Systemic veins

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Systemic arteries. Systemic arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body, delivering vital nutrients and oxygen to tissues and organs. Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. Systemic veins return deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart. It's important to differentiate between pulmonary and systemic vessels in understanding the circulation of blood throughout the body.

3. The term "unconditional" in the context of UBI signifies that

• A. The amount received would be based on individual income and living expenses.
• B. Recipients would be required to meet certain criteria to qualify for the program.
• C. The money would be provided without any restrictions on how it is spent.
• D. The program would be temporary and subject to periodic review and renewal.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The unconditional aspect of UBI refers to the lack of strings attached to its receipt, aligning with C.

4. How does the mass of an object affect its inertia?

• A. Mass has no impact on inertia
• B. Higher mass increases inertia
• C. Higher mass decreases inertia
• D. Mass influences gravitational force, not inertia

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia because it requires more force to change its state of motion. This is in line with Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force.

5. A new medication claims to reduce allergy symptoms by 90%. A study is conducted where 100 participants with allergies take the medication, and 90 report symptom reduction. Should this be enough evidence to recommend the medication for everyone?

• A. Yes, the study shows clear effectiveness.
• B. No, the sample size is too small.
• C. No, a control group without the medication is needed.
• D. No, long-term effects haven't been studied.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: : Comparing the medication group to a group receiving a placebo (inactive substance) would help isolate the medication's true effect and avoid attributing symptom reduction to other factors.

6. Define the term "velocity" in relation to motion.

• A. Speed in a specific direction
• B. Distance traveled in a given time
• C. Rate of change of position
• D. Acceleration due to gravity

Correct answer:

Rationale: Velocity is the rate of change of position concerning direction, unlike speed which only refers to distance traveled per unit time.
