1. Based on the context, which of the following is the meaning of the word match in the sentence?

• A. a competitive event
• B. a suitable pair
• C. a slender piece of wood used to start a fire
• D. a prospective marriage partner

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the context of the sentence, the word 'match' refers to a competitive event, likely a sports match or game that Victoria participated in and won easily. This is the most appropriate interpretation based on the context provided. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not fit the context of the sentence. 'A suitable pair,' 'a slender piece of wood used to start a fire,' and 'a prospective marriage partner' do not relate to Victoria winning a match in a sports context.

2. Which factor affects the gravitational potential energy of an object the most?

• A. The mass of the object
• B. The distance from the ground
• C. The gravitational force
• D. The shape of the object

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height or distance from the ground. As the object is raised higher, its gravitational potential energy increases. While the mass of the object influences gravitational potential energy, the distance from the ground has a more significant impact on it. The gravitational force does not directly affect the gravitational potential energy; it is the force that causes the potential energy to change with height. The shape of the object also does not determine gravitational potential energy, as it is primarily determined by the object's position in a gravitational field.

3. How does the potential energy of an object change when it is compressed?

• A. Potential energy decreases
• B. Potential energy increases
• C. Potential energy remains constant
• D. Potential energy becomes zero

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When an object is compressed, its potential energy increases. This is because work is done on the object to compress it, resulting in an increase in potential energy stored in the object as it is compressed against an opposing force. The potential energy is transformed and stored within the object due to the work done during the compression process, leading to an increase in its potential energy. Choice A is incorrect because compression involves doing work on the object, increasing its potential energy. Choice C is incorrect because compression involves a change in position and potential energy. Choice D is incorrect because compression does not reduce potential energy to zero; rather, it increases it due to the work done in compressing the object.

4. Which of the following is the antiparticle of a neutron?

• A. Antineutrino
• B. Positron
• C. Antiproton
• D. Electron

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The antiparticle of a neutron is an antineutron, which is composed of an antiproton and an antineutrino. The antineutrino (choice A) is not the antiparticle of a neutron. A positron (choice B) is the antiparticle of an electron, not a neutron. An electron (choice D) is a fundamental particle, not an antiparticle. Therefore, the correct answer is an antiproton (choice C), as it forms an antineutron when combined with an antineutrino.

5. A student gets 42 questions out of 48 correct on a quiz. What is the percentage of questions that the student answered correctly?

• A. 1.14%
• B. 82.50%
• C. 85.00%
• D. 87.50%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the percentage of questions answered correctly, divide the number of correct questions by the total number of questions: 42/48 = 0.875. Multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage, which gives 87.5%. Therefore, the correct answer is 87.50%. Choice A (1.14%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct percentage. Choices B (82.50%) and C (85.00%) are also incorrect as they do not align with the calculation based on the given information.
