1. Which of the following suffixes would change the verb 'manage' into an adjective?

• A. -ed
• B. -ible
• C. -able
• D. -er

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct suffix to change the verb 'manage' into an adjective is '-able.' When added to 'manage,' it forms the adjective 'manageable,' which means capable of being managed. Choice A ('-ed') is a past participle suffix, not an adjective-forming suffix. Choice B ('-ible') is used to form adjectives meaning 'capable of' but is not the correct choice in this context. Choice D ('-er') is typically used to form agent nouns rather than adjectives.

2. Which element is used in semiconductors like computer chips and solar panels?

• A. Germanium
• B. Silicon
• C. Gallium
• D. Arsenic

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Silicon is the correct answer. Silicon is widely used in semiconductors for electronic applications because of its unique properties that allow it to be manipulated to conduct or not conduct electricity effectively. Germanium is also used in semiconductors but to a lesser extent compared to silicon. Gallium and arsenic are not as commonly used in semiconductors like computer chips and solar panels, making them incorrect choices for this question.

3. What is the term for the division of the cytoplasm?

• A. Cytokinesis
• B. Mitosis
• C. Meiosis
• D. Apoptosis

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Cytokinesis is the correct term for the division of the cytoplasm during cell division. It is the final stage of cell division, following either mitosis or meiosis, where the cytoplasm of a parent cell is divided into two daughter cells. Mitosis is the process of nuclear division, while meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. Apoptosis, on the other hand, is programmed cell death and not the division of the cytoplasm.

4. What happens to the momentum of an object when there is no external force acting upon it?

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

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When there is no external force acting upon an object, the law of conservation of momentum dictates that the momentum of the object remains constant. This means that the momentum does not increase or decrease; it stays the same. Choice A is incorrect because momentum does not increase. Choice B is incorrect because momentum does not decrease. Choice D is incorrect as momentum does not become zero; it remains constant as per the conservation law. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as the object's momentum is unchanged in the absence of external forces.

5. By examining the parts of each word, determine which of the following words refers to 'a drug that removes feeling or sensation.'

• A. Hyperalgesia
• B. Subcranial
• C. Hypoglycemic
• D. Anaesthetic

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Anaesthetic'. 'Anaesthetic' refers to a drug that removes feeling or sensation. The prefix 'ana-' means without, and the root 'esthetic' relates to sensation or feeling. 'Hyperalgesia' refers to increased sensitivity to pain, 'Subcranial' does not relate to drugs or removing sensation, and 'Hypoglycemic' refers to low blood sugar levels, not a drug that removes feeling or sensation.
