1. The athlete ran the race in record time. Which word is the present participle of the verb "run"?

2. What characteristic unites all organisms in the kingdom Animalia?

• A. Multicellularity and heterotrophy
• B. Unicellular nature
• C. Photosynthesis
• D. Cell walls made of chitin

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) Multicellularity and heterotrophy: This is the correct answer because all organisms in the kingdom Animalia are multicellular (composed of multiple cells) and exhibit heterotrophy (obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms). B) Unicellular nature: This is incorrect because organisms in the kingdom Animalia are multicellular, not unicellular. C) Photosynthesis: This is incorrect because organisms in the kingdom Animalia do not perform photosynthesis; they are heterotrophs that obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms. D) Cell walls made of chitin: This is incorrect because organisms in the kingdom Animalia do not have cell walls made of chitin. Chitin is a structural polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi, not animals.

3. What is the relationship between mass and weight on Earth's surface?

• A. Mass and weight are equal
• B. Mass is greater than weight
• C. Weight is greater than mass

5. Cherenkov radiation is a characteristic phenomenon associated with:

• A. Alpha particle emission
• B. Beta particle emission
• C. Gamma ray emission
• D. Charged particles exceeding the speed of light in a medium

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Cherenkov radiation is a phenomenon associated with charged particles exceeding the speed of light in a medium. When a charged particle travels faster than the speed of light in that medium, it emits a characteristic blue glow known as Cherenkov radiation. This occurs due to the disruption of the electromagnetic field in the medium by the high-speed particle. Options A, B, and C are not correct as they do not directly relate to the specific condition required for Cherenkov radiation to be produced. Therefore, option D, 'Charged particles exceeding the speed of light in a medium,' is the correct answer.

6. The passage implies that achieving energy sustainability requires...

• A. solely relying on renewable energy sources for electricity generation.
• B. a combination of advancements in renewable energy production and management technologies.
• C. prioritizing economic benefits over environmental concerns when making energy choices.
• D. focusing solely on reducing energy consumption without addressing production sources.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage emphasizes the need for both increasing renewable energy and managing its fluctuations, suggesting B as the key to sustainability.
