1. What is the relationship between work, force, and displacement?

• A. Work is directly proportional to force but inversely proportional to displacement
• B. Work is directly proportional to both force and displacement
• C. Work is inversely proportional to force but directly proportional to displacement
• D. Work is inversely proportional to both force and displacement

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Work done is the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force.

2. A car is accelerating down a hill. Which of the following forces is NOT acting on the car?

• A. Gravitational force
• B. Normal force from the road
• C. Air resistance
• D. The car's engine force

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Normal force from the road. The normal force acts perpendicular to the surface of contact and does not contribute to the acceleration down the hill.

3. Which neurotransmitter is responsible for stimulating muscle contraction?

• A. Dopamine
• B. Acetylcholine
• C. Serotonin
• D. Norepinephrine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter responsible for stimulating muscle contraction at the neuromuscular junction. When an action potential reaches the end of a motor neuron, acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, leading to muscle contraction. Dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine are neurotransmitters that have different functions in the nervous system and are not directly involved in stimulating muscle contraction.

4. Which of the following is a characteristic of unsaturated fatty acids?

• A. They are solid at room temperature.
• B. They contain only single bonds.
• C. They have a higher melting point.
• D. They contain double or triple bonds.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Unsaturated fatty acids contain double or triple bonds in their hydrocarbon chains. The other choices do not accurately describe unsaturated fatty acids.

5. In the phrase "a drop in the bucket," "bucket" represents:

• A. A literal container
• B. A large quantity
• C. A specific goal
• D. An obstacle

Correct answer: B

6. Which sentence uses parentheses correctly?

• A. The suspect was seen driving a red car (a witness reported).
• B. The movie (released in 2022) received critical acclaim.
• C. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes (including vegetarian options).
• D. All participants (must register by Friday) will receive a free gift.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Parentheses are used for non-essential information that clarifies or adds detail. Option (a) is unnecessary and disrupts the flow of the sentence.
