1. When does work on an object occur?

• A. Only when the object's velocity changes
• B. Only when a force is applied to the object
• C. Whenever there is a force exerted on the object causing displacement
• D. Only when the object is lifted vertically

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Work is done when a force is applied to an object, causing it to move in the direction of the force.

2. A solution is 60% alcohol. If 200ml of the solution are used, how much pure alcohol is present?

• A. 100ml
• B. 120ml
• C. 140ml
• D. 160ml

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Multiply the total solution volume (200ml) by the alcohol percentage (60%)

3. The gradual change in a species over time is called:

• A. Adaptation
• B. Evolution
• C. Speciation
• D. Natural selection

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Adaptation refers to the process by which a species becomes better suited to its environment over time. While adaptation is a component of evolution, it specifically refers to the changes that help a species survive and reproduce in its environment. - Speciation is the process by which new species arise from a single ancestral species. It involves the evolution of reproductive isolation between populations. - Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the increase in frequency of those traits in a population. - Evolution is the gradual change in a species over time, encompassing all the processes such as adaptation, speciation, and natural selection that drive these changes.

4. The largest bone in the human body is the:

• A. Femur (thigh bone)
• B. Tibia (shin bone)
• C. Humerus (upper arm bone)
• D. Scapula (shoulder blade)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Femur (thigh bone). The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, located in the thigh region. It plays a crucial role in supporting the body's weight and facilitating movement. The tibia (B) is commonly known as the shin bone and is located below the femur. The humerus (C) is the upper arm bone, and the scapula (D) is the shoulder blade. However, neither of these bones is the largest in the human body. Understanding the anatomy of the skeletal system is essential for identifying the largest bone in the body, which is the femur.

5. Which verb tense is most appropriate for this sentence: "By next week, _____ finished the project."

• A. I will be finishing
• B. I will have finished
• C. I am finishing
• D. I would finish

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Option B expresses a future event completed before another future point in time (next week).

6. How are genetic markers used in paternity testing?

• A. They identify unique sequences in the father's DNA present in the child.
• B. They analyze the presence or absence of specific alleles for certain genes.
• C. They compare the child's blood type to the parents' blood types.
• D. They measure the child's physical resemblance to the father.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Genetic markers are specific DNA sequences that can vary among individuals. In paternity testing, genetic markers are used to compare the DNA of the child with that of the alleged father. By analyzing the presence or absence of specific alleles (different forms of a gene) at these genetic markers, scientists can determine the likelihood of paternity. This method is more accurate and reliable than comparing blood types or physical resemblance, making option B the most appropriate choice.
