1. Which order should be followed in viewing videotaped lesson?

I. Reflection-discussion
II. Viewing
III. Previewing
IV. Follow-up activities
a. III, II, I, IV c. III, II, IV, I
b. III, IV, II , I d. III, I, II, IV

Previewing to view or show beforehand or in advance/ An introductory or preliminary message,

sample, or overview

Viewing The act or an instance of watching a movie or television. The act or an instance of
looking at or watching, as of watching a television program. Viewing helps students to slow
down, reflect and think about the images/videos they are seeing.

After viewing the videotaped lesson, participants/students have acquired new knowledge and
skills and need to translate their learning into practice. Follow-up is a way to accompany
learners from being recipients of learning activities, to actively utilizing these new skills and
knowledge and ultimately being active agents of change in their own environments.

Reflection/discussion – after having the follow up activities, the discussion/reflection will follow in
order to help the students process the information.

2. The measure of choosing well is whether or not a man likes what he ______.
a. Has chosen c. Chose
b. Is choosing d. Choose

The statement is from the view of Charles Lamb which states “The measure of choosing well, is, whether a
man likes and finds good in what he has chosen”.

Also if we do the elimination method, B and D will be eliminated already because if does not fit in the given
statement. Now we’ll going to deal the 2 options which is A and C. The words chose and chosen are both
past tense forms of the verb choose. Chose is a simple past tense verb, while chosen is the past participle
form. Combined with an auxiliary verb (like have or has), chosen is used to form the past perfect tense. We
usually use the past perfect to make it clear which action happened first. With this, I believe that has
chosen (letter A) is the right option.

3. According to this work on Oedipus, what is the nature of a man?

 a. that man is political being
b. that man submits his will to forces more powerful than he
c. that man is a social being
d. that man is a thinking being with a free will

Being human involves the pain and the love of life but that is not all that defines what it is to be human. The
human condition is compounded with community, the range of emotions that we so deeply experience is
inextricably linked to the people we feel these emotions about. In an essay from cram.com entitled human
condition in Oedipus the King, Oedipus believes that if he can identify his own condition then it will provide
him with an understanding of the lives of the people he interacts with because human condition does not
come entirely from within. The human condition of any person has to grow off of the lives of other people.
The human condition is the emotions that humans not only feel for themselves but also the emotions that
are felt for and with others. Overall, the human condition is the links of humanity.

- A. political being is not the correct option because this belief is according to Aristotle means
that man lives in a more “polis”. Man becomes man among others, living in a society governed
by laws and customs.
- C. Letter C is also not the correct answer because it is according to Aristotle which
Explains that man can’t survive in isolation. Therefore, human beings interact with each other on a
daily basis, having a deep impact on each other’s life.
- D. A man is a thinking being can be connected to Descartes view which is Cogito Ergo Sum,
usually translated as “I think, therefore I am”.
So among the 4 options, l believe that letter B is the most acceptable anser.

4. Humble winners don’t Gloat about the prize. What does gloat mean?
a. Scoff c. Deride
b. Brag d. Belittle

The definition of gloat is to brag or to have a feeling of self-satisfaction. When you dance around
and shout "victory, victory!" after your team wins, this is an example of gloat.

scoff verb (LAUGH) - to laugh and talk about a person or idea in a way that shows that you think
they are stupid or silly:

Deride - deride means to speak to someone with contempt or show a low opinion of someone or
something.

Belittle - make (someone or something) seem unimportant.

5. Business computers have become more complex that necessitate complete training in operating
them. They are now described as SOPHISTICATED electronic system, meaning ________.

Fashionable - fashionable is something that is in style
Uncomplicated - simple or straightforward
Cosmopolitan - having wide international sophistication

6. To HERALD major economic and social changes brought about by technology, means to ____.
a. Respond to c. End
b. Encourage d. Proclaim

HERALD - an official messenger / a person who brings news or announces something

Among the 4 options, letter D is the most suitable answer because proclaim means announce
officially or publicly. So, upon knowing the definition of HERALD, letter D is the best one.

-A. to say or do something as a reaction to something that has been said or done
-B. give support, confidence, or hope to (someone).
-C. a final part of something/ come or bring to a final point; finish

7. Using contextual clues, complete the following statement. Most flowers ____ In Spring.

8. Successful sales persons ___ and understand the needs of the market.
a. Know their products thoroughly
b. Thoroughly know their products
c. Their products are known thoroughly
d. Products are thoroughly known

Using the elimination method, option C and D will be the 1 st to be eliminated because it’s not
suitable to fill in the blank. So, the options we’re now going to deal with are A and B.

A. Ang matagumpay na sales person ay alam ng lubusan ang kanilang mga produkto

B. Ang matagumpay na sales person ay lubusang inaalam ang kanilang mga produkto at
nauunawaan ang pangangailangan ng merkado
 Options A and B, are a quite confusing but I guess letter B is the most suitable one when
we’re going to fill it in the blanks.

9. Archimedes shouted “Eurekal”. Since then, the world took this to mean _______.
a. Gift c. Discovery
b. Mystery d. Enjoyment

"Eureka" comes from the Ancient Greek word εὕρηκα heúrēka, meaning "I have found (it)". The
exclamation "Eureka!" is attributed to the ancient Greek scholar Archimedes. He reportedly proclaimed
"Eureka! Eureka!" after he had stepped into a bath and noticed that the water level rose, whereupon he
suddenly understood that the volume of water displaced must be equal to the volume of the part of his body
he had submerged. Eureka (Ancient Greek: εὕρηκα) is an interjection used to celebrate a discovery or
invention.

10. Children who have been exposed too much to TV suffer from unusually short _______.
a. Understanding c. Learning
b. Attention span d. Concentration

Despite the positive evidence for the impact of electronic media on cognitive skills, a key issue is whether
those skills transfer beyond gaming into everyday life. There is evidence that viewing educational TV
programs can enhance transference to other learning. One US study showed that watching a math
program in schools for six weeks led to improved performance on math problems not shown in the
program. So, with this, I guess option A and C will be eliminated first.

Further, according to Daley (2014), despite the many potential benefits, concerns still remain about the
impact on attention spans. Other research has found a link between TV exposure and subsequent
attention. One important study found that TV exposure at age 14 did predict attention problems at age 16,
even after controlling for important child and family variables. Children who watched more than three hours
a day were at greatest risk. Hence, the best option here is letter C.

11. After _____ all day, she finally saw the take.
a. Walking c. Had walked
b. Have walked d. Having walked

Walking- present participle, used when two actions occur at the same time, and are done by the same
person or thing, we can use a present participle to describe one of them. This would be the best answer,
among the 4 options.
Had walked – past perfect tense, The past perfect, also called the pluperfect, is a verb tense used to talk
about actions that were completed before some point in the past. Thus, it is not good to be chosen as the
best answer.

Have walked- present perfect tense, The present perfect is often used for an action that started at some
time in the past and is still continuing now. So, this option is not the appropriate one.

Having walked is also not the best option for this item

12. We should works for a total ban ___ of pesticides that are harmful to man.
a. On the use c. By the use
b. With the use d. On using

On the use- In general, on is used to indicate touching and being supported by the top surface
of (something), or moving to a position that is supported by something. Among the 4 options,
letter A is the appropriate one to complete the sentence.

With the use – We use with to refer to what we use to do something, and I guess, this is also not
the correct answer for this item.

By the use- We use by to show how something is done./ we use "by" when it's related to
something made by someone or used by. This preposition can be used in so many ways but
definitely this is not the answer.

On using – this option is still insufficient to complete the sentence. So, probably this is not the
answer.

13. Those mischievous children ____ tricks of their teachers which always got them into a lot of
trouble.
a. Used to play c. Could play
b. May have played d. Could have played

A. It is the correct answer since in the sentence, it mentions the word “always” so therefore,
the used to play is the answer since this means ginabuhat gyud nila nga magtrick sa ilang
teachers.
B. Letter B is not the correct answer since it was just guessing whether they played the
teacher or not. It doesn’t suit to the word mentioned in the sentence which is the word
“always”
C. The letter C is not the correct answer since could play means it already happen and there is
a possibility that it will not happen.
D. The letter D is not the answer since could have played means it was already happened but
will not be able to do it again and it evoke the word always that was mentioned in the
sentence.
14. The line from the Koran, “Woe to every backbiter, “talks of ______
 a. Sorrow for those who oppose other’s opinion
b. Punishment for those who say good things
c. Anguish for those who defend
d. Misery for those who talks ill of others.

A. Letter A is not the answer since the sentence “Sorrow for those who oppose other’s opinion”
it was not called as back biter because when opposing other opinion, it means it was said in
front of the person
B. Letter B was not the answer because backbiter means saying something not good to
someone without knowing so, the letter B was not the answer
C. Letter C was not the answer since the word defend was not a doing of a backbiter since a
backbiter was the one who spreads bad words to someone.
D. Letter D was the answer since a backbiter was someone who talks something not good to
someone without the certain person. So, therefore, letter D was the answer since the
sentence was fitted to the meaning of the word backbiter.
15. Steel is not ___ because it doesn’t break easily.
a. Malleable c. Tense
b. Brittle d. Ductile

A. The letter A is not the answer since “Malleable” means able to be hammered or pressed
permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking. So, based on the sentence question
it was not suited.
B. Letter B was the answer since brittle means breakable so if we will match it to the word not
it will compliment to the definition of the steel.
C. Letter c was not the answer since tense means rigid or not flexible so therefore if we will
match the word tense with not it will not be the definition of the word steel.
D. Letter D was not the answer since the word ductile means flexible so if we will match it with
not it will not also be the definition of the steel.
16. History is the witness that _____ passing of time
a. Testifies for c. Testifies
b. Testifies the d. Will testify

A. Letter A was not the answer since the word for means for someone or a person. So,
therefore, it was not fitted to the sentence question sine it was about time.
B. Letter B was the answer since the word ‘the” defines the clause or phrases only so
therefore it fitted to the sentence question.
C. Letter c will be considered as the answer but it was not totally because it will lead the
sentence into grammatical error.
D. Letter D was not the answer since will means tendency. So, therefore it is not the answer
since history really testifies the passing time.
17. Life so they say, is just a game
And they let it slip away
Don’t let life slip away
Grasp it while you can
We may never pass this way again.

What does this stanza suggest?

 a. Life will be gone in a minute
b. We must play any game well
c. Opportunity comes once, seize it.
d. We will dies anyway, enjoy life.

A. Letter A was not the answer since it is not focusing to the life or soul that will be gone but it
is all about the existence in which it is all about the challenges.
B. Letter B was not the answer since it was not about the game but is was about the existence
of life in earth that was full of challenges and opportunity. And the game symbolizes
challenges in life.
C. Letter C was the answer since the game of life was the challenges in everything. So,
therefore, when there are challenges in life you should face it since it was just part of the
way you followed. And the opportunities come and you will try it or grab it for you to be in
line to the way you wanted. And don’t let it slip away.
D. Letter D was not the answer since the sentence was far from the stanza since the stanza
talks about don’t let life slip away so it means we should somehow be more aware of our life
while enjoying and treasure it.

18. Thomas Carlyle said, ‘ The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder…”It could be
interpreted as _____.
a. There should be sufficient energy in one’s life.
b. Direction can never come into one’s life
c. One’s life doesn’t need to be controlled.
d. There is a strong driving force in one’s life.

A. The letter A may be considered as the answer but it did not totally interpret the clause
because in letter A it talks about the sufficient energy into one’s life but in the sentence
question it was about the purpose so it means we should have more.
B. Letter B was not the answer since it stated there that direction can never come into one’s
life but direction is very important in one’s life
C. Letter C was not the answer since we should control our selves for the purpose that we
want to happen.
D. Letter D was the best answer since we need to be confident and have a strong driving force
or confidence to let our purpose happen.
19. Our commitments can develop us or can destroy us, but either way, they will define us. Choose the
line below that has the same meaning.
a. Flexible commitment is what we need today
b. We must make full commitment to worldly goals
c. Our lives are shaped by what we are committed to
d. Our commitments need not be planned way ahead.

A. Letter A was not the answer since it the sentence question was all about what is you as
yourself or as a person and it is not about what we need.
B. Letter B was not correct since the sentence question was not about goals but it was about
the commitment that defines you.
C. This letter C was the answer since it is most likely similar to the sentence question and it is
obviously talks about the commitment shape of who we are.
 D. Letter D was not the answer since it talks about the commitment that we should not plan
and it doesn’t talks about who we are.
20. Lack of appetite and less sleep gave her a ____ appearance.
a. Lazy c. Easy-going
b. Lanky d. Hazard

A. Letter A is not the answer since lazy means unwilling to use energy and it is not about the

B. Letter b was the answer since Lanky means ungracefully thin and tall and it define the
appearance.
C. Letter c was not the answer since easy- going is a manner and it doesn’t math to the
definition of appearance

appearance.

not sure about something.
C. Letter C was not the answer since sad is not a lucid since sad wasn’t thinking clearly.
D. Letter D was not correct since ambiguous was having more than one interpretation so
therefore it Is not lucid.

A. The letter A was not the answer since cited is to mention someone to take credits.

sentence itself which is in past tense. The sentence is in past tense because of the
verbs jammed, feared, and leaped so the sentence is in past tense.

81. Three brothers inherited a cash amount of P120,000 and they divided it among themselves in the ratio of 5:2:1.
How much more is the largest share than the smallest share? 
a. P75,000 c. P15,000
b. P30,000 d. P60,00

Solution:
Given: P120,000 - cash
5:2:1 – ratio of brothers
Largest share - Smallest share = ?
5+2+1=8
P120,000 ÷ 8 = 15,000
15,000 x 5 = 75,000
15,000 x 1 = 15,000

75,000 – 15,000 = 60,000

Explanation: 
In finding the exact amount of share of each brother we have to add the ratio that is given which results to 8
and then divide it to the total amount inherited which is P120,000. The result is P15,000 per share. To find the largest
share we have to multiply if by the largest ratio which is 5 so the answer is P75,000 and the smallest share is 1 share
so P15,000. But the question is how much more, so we have to get the difference between the largest share and the
smallest share so P75,000 – P15,000 = P60,000.

83. Joan bought 120 handkerchiefs at 10 pesos. Then she sold them at 3 handkerchiefs for P50. If she sold all the
handkerchiefs, how much profit did she make?
a. P400 c. P733
b. P800 d. P170

Solution:
Given: 120 handkerchiefs at P10
3 handkerchiefs at P50
Profit = sales - expenses

120 x 10 = 1,200 - expenses

120 ÷ 3 = 40       P2000 – P1200 = P800
40 x 50 = 2,000 - sales

Explanation:
To solve the expenses, we need to multiply 120 handkerchiefs by P10 which is equal to 1,200. Then, to find
the sales we should base it to our given which is 3 handkerchiefs for P50 so we divide the 3 handkerchiefs to 120
handkerchiefs to find the exact number of handkerchiefs for us to find the total sales so 120 ÷ 3 = 40. Now, we have
to multiply 40 by the cost which is P50 and that will result to 2,000. Now, we have our sales and expenses. To find
the profit we need to subtract our expenses from our sales so that would be 2000 - 1200 = 800. So, our profit is
P800.

84. What is the value of 12 1/6 – 2 3/8 – 7 2/3 + 19 3/4 ?

85. If the area of one circle is twice of another circle, what is the ratio in percent, of the smaller to larger circle? 
a. 70% c. 75%
b. 25% d. 50%
Solution:
Percentage = (ratio x 100) %
1:2 = ( 12 x 100) %
      = 1002 %
      = 50 %
Explanation:
Since the area of 1 circle is twice of another circle then the ratio of the smaller circle to the bigger circle is
1:2. So we solve it by multiplying the ratio to 100 and the result is 50%.

86. The average of 5 different numbers is 10. What is highest possible value that one of the numbers can have? 
a. 20 b. 40 c. 30 d. 38 
Solution: 

Mean = sum of scoresnumber of scores   10 = x5         10 = 505

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + x = 50 
  10 + x = 50
          x = 50 - 10
          x = 40
Explanation: 

So first, we need to find the sum of scores by the given numbers. The average of 5 different numbers is 10
so the sum of the 5 scores should be 50 since 50 divided by 5(number of scores) is 10. Now we have the sum of
scores so we can now solve for the 5 different numbers. To find the highest possible number we should suppose that
the 4 different numbers are 1,2,3 and 4 so that we can find the HIGHEST POSSIBLE number. So, 1+2+3+4+x=50
and then add the 4 diff. numbers so 10+x=50. Next is we need to transpose the 10 so that we will now be left with x
in the other side so it becomes x = 50-10. So, x = 40.
Checking:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 40 = 50
50.  5 = 10
 
87. What value of x will satisfy the equation 0.2 (2x + 1470) =x? 
a. 490 c. 1470
b. 2,130 d. 560
Solution:
0.2 (2x + 1470) = x
0.2 (2x + 1470) - (x) = 0
-1x + 0.2 (2x + 1470) = 0
-1x + 0.4x + 294 = 0
-0.6x + 294 = 0
-0.6x = -294
-0.6x-0.6 = -294-0.6
x = 490
Explanation:
First, we move all terms to the left, so 0.2 (2x + 1470) - (x) = 0. Then, we add all the numbers and variables
together. After that, we follow the PEMDAS rule so parenthesis first. Multiply 2x by 0.2 and 1470 by 0.2 so we now
have -1x + 0.4x + 294 = 0. Next is combine like terms so it will result to -0.6x + 294 = 0. Then, move all terms
containing x to the left and all other terms to the right. Then, to determine the x we should divide it by -0.6 so that x
will remain on the left side. Finally, we have 490 as our value of x that will satisfy the equation 0.2 (2x + 1470) =x.

88. Which of the following is a factor of the quadratic equation x – 2x – 24 = 0

89. Julie spent one-sixth of her money in one store. In the store, she spent three times as much as she in the first
store, and had 80 pesos left. How much money did she have at the start? 
a. 240 pesos c.  300 pesos 
b. 252 pesos d. 360 pesos
Solution:
The first thing we need to do is to make equations from the informations
we are given.

Let   be the starting money.

Let   be the money spent on the first store.

On the first store, Julie spent   of her money,  , this would be expressed as  . And
since we let   be the money spent on the first store,   should be equal to  .( )

On the second store, she spent   times as much as how much she spent on the first
store,  , this would be expressed as  .

The total money spent on two stores would be expressed as   and since  ,
we can further simplify the total money spent as:

The remaining money can be expressed as   and since after she spent money on
the two stores, she had   pesos left.   and   should be equal. Now we can solve
for  .

90. What part of an hour has passed from 2:48 pm to 3:40 pm? 
a. 7/8 c. 8/15
b. 1/3 d. 8/2.5
Solution:
 3:40pm – 2:48pm = 52
52/60 = 13/15
Explanation: 
We should find the difference from 2:48pm to 3:40 pm. So, we subtract it and the result is 52 minutes. Next,
we have to know what part of an hour is 52minutes so we will divide it by 60minutes and the result is 13/15.

91. What is 3 m + 28 dm when converted to centimeters?

a. 480 c. 5800
b. 4800 d. 580
Solution:
3m + 28dm = ?cm
1m = 100cm 1dm = 10cm
3m = 300cm 28dm  = 280cm

300cm + 280cm = 580cm

Explanation:
We should convert the given into centimeters. So, 1m is equal to 100cm therefore, 3m = 300cm. Next is
1dm is equal to 10cm therefore, 28dm = 280cm. After converting the given number, we should follow the equation
which is add so 300cm plus 280cm is 580cm.

92. A street vendor sells roasted peanuts at P5 per packet of 25 gm which she bought for P80 per kilo. She spent
P20 for oil, fuel, and plastic bags. What is her net gain from selling all the peanuts? 
a. P480 c.  P360
b. P380 d. P400
Solution:
Given: P5 per 25gm
          P80 per kilo
          P20 for oil, fuel and plastic bags
1kg = 1000gm
1000grams/25grams = 40 packs
40packs x P5 = 200

Profit = sales - expenses

200 – 80 – 20 = 100
Explanation:
The conversion of 1kg to gm is 1000. So, the street vendor has 1000grams of roasted peanuts to sell and
he will sell it for P5 per 25gm. To find how many packs must she sell we will divide 1000grams by 25grams. So, the
total packet that she should sell is 40packs. Then, we will multiply it to how much a packet cost so we have 40packs
multiply by P5 so we have P200. To find her net gain from selling all peanuts we will deduct all her expenses from the
sales. So, P200 minus 80 minus 20 is equal to P100. Her net gain is P100.

93. If x = 5, what is the value of  x2-9/x+3 ?

a. 7 b. -6 c. -8 d. 5

Rationalization: 
Solution:

Let x = 5 

  X2-9/x+3 
= 25-9/5+3
=25-9/8
 = 16/8
=2
Explanation: To find the value of x2-9/x+3 when x is equal to 5, we need to
substitute 5 in every x in the equation. So that will be, 5 squared minus 9 all over
5 plus 3. Five squared is equals to 25 so it will become 25 minus 9 all over 8.
Then, 25 minus 9 is equal to 16; and 16 divided by 8 is equal to 2. Therefore, the
value of x2-9/x+3  (x squared minus 9 all over x plus 3) when x is 5 is equal to 2. 

94. What are the missing terms in the series 5, 10, 20 __, 80__320?

a.50,210 c. 35,135

b. 40,160 d. 40,120
Rationalization:

Find the common ratio: 10/5 = 2

Therefore, our common ratio is 2.

Geometric Sequence:

5x2 =10

10x2 =20

20x2 = 40

40x2 = 80

80x2 = 160

160x2 = 320
Explanation: This problem is an example of a GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE. First of all we need to find
the common ratio of the geometric sequence. To find the common ratio, we need to get the
second and first term of the geometric sequence and divide them. So that would be 10 divided
by 5; and the quotient is 2. Thus, our common ratio is 2. Then, multiply the terms to 2 to yield
the next missing term. So in the problem we have two missing terms which is the 4th term and
the 6th term. To find them, we need to multiply 20 and 80 to our common ratio. So, 20 times 2
is equal to 40. And 80 times 2 is equal 160. Therefore, the missing terms in our geometric
sequence is 40 and 160.

95. All the seats in a bus are occupied and six persons are standing. At
the next bus stop, 13 persons got off and 5 got in. How many seats were
empty after this stop if everyone had a seat? 

A. 24 b. 23 c. 0 d. 2

Rationalization:

Let x represents as all the seats in a bus are occupied. 

Before 

X+ 6 

At the next bus stop

(X+6) – 13 + 5 

Equation:  (X+6) – 13 + 5 

Solution: 
(X+6) – 13 + 5
= x + 6 - 13 + 5 
= x – 7 + 5 
=x-2

Therefore, there were two empty seats knowing that everyone had a seat

.  
Explanation: To answer this problem, we need to let x to represent as all the seats in
the bus are occupied. Then, we have to convert first and second sentence into an
equation. In the first sentence, all the seats in a bus are occupied and six persons are
standing, so that would be converted into x + 6. In the second sentence, at the next bus
stop, 13 persons got off and 5 got in; that can be translated into (x+6) – 13 + 5. The
word “got off” represents subtraction the word “got in” represents addition. Lastly, we
need to perform the equation from left to right. So that would be (x+6 – 13 + 5. Six
minus 13 is equal to negative 7. Negative 7 plus 5 is equal to negative 2. So our final
answer would be x minus 2. X minus 2 means that there were two seats empty knowing
that everyone had a seat. 

96. A, B and C are consecutive numbers. If A>B>C, what is the value of (A-B) (A-C)
(B-C)? 

a. -2 b. 2 c. 1 d. -1

Rationalization: 

Solution: 

Let A = x; B = x+1; C = x+2

(A-B) (A-C) (B-C)

= [ x- (x+1) ] [x-(x+2)] [ (x+1)-( x+2) ]

= [x – x – 1 ] [ x – x – 2 ] [ x + 1 – x – 2 ] 
= [0 – 1 ] [ 0 – 2 ] [ x– x + 1 – 2 ] 
= [– 1 ] [ – 2 ] [ 0 + 1 – 2 ] 
= [– 1 ] [ – 2 ] [  – 1 ] 
=–2

Explanation: To find the value of (A-B) times (A-C) times (B-C), we need to let A as x,
let B as x +1 and let C as x + 2.  Then substitute them into the problem. So our new
equation will become x minus x plus 1 times x minus x plus 2 times x plus 1 minus x
plus 2. From there, add and subtract similar terms. So our x minus x is zero and what is
left is negative 1. X minus x is zero and what is left is negative 2. X minus x is zero plus
1  minus 2 is equal to negative 1. What is left is negative 1, negative 2 and negative 1.
Multiply all of them and follow the rule of multiplying integers. That would be, negative 1
times negative 2 is 2. Two times negative 1 is equal to negative 2. Therefore, the value
of (A-B) (A-C) (B-C) is equal to negative 2. 
 97. Which of the following could be a factor of n (n+1) if n is a
positive integer less than 3?
a. 8 b. 3 c. 9 d. 5

Rationalization: 

Note: n < 3; {2, 1}

If n = 1 
n (n+1) 
= 1(1+1) 
= 1 (2) 
=  2 

Factors of 2: 1 and 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If n = 2 
n (n+1) 
= 2(2+1) 
= 2 (3) 
=  6 

Factors of 6: 1, 2, 3 and 6

Therefore, the factor of n (n+1) if n is a positive integer less than 3 is 3. 

Explanation: To find the factor of n (n+1) if n is a positive integer less than

3, we need to substitute the possible values of n. our possible values of n is
1 and 2 since they are both positive integers and both are less than 3. First
we will substitute 1 first to the equation. So that would be 1 times the sum
of 1 and 1. That would be 1 times 2. The answer is two. The factors of two
is 1 and itself. 
Next is we will substitute our next value of n which is 2. That would be 2
times the sum of 2 and 1. Two times 3 is 6. The factors of 6 is 1, 2, 3, and
itself. 

Our of the factors of 6, we can conclude that the answer is letter b since 3
is one of the factors of n (n+1). Thank you. 

98.What numbers subtracted from each of 71 and 58 will result in

two perfect squares? 
a. 22 b. 42 c. 35 d. 33

Rationalization: 

Explanation: To answer this problem, we need to make a list of perfect

squares and do the trial and error method to come up with the correct
answer. To create a perfect square list, we just need to multiply a number
to itself. Like for example, 5 times 5 is equal to 25. Therefore, 25 is a
perfect square. After making a list perfect squares, proceed to doing the
trial and error method starting from the option in letter A and proceed to
other option if the differences did not yield perfect squares. In this matter,
letter A is the correct answer, since the difference of 71-22 which is 49 and
58-22 which is 36 are both perfect squares. 

99.A recipe which is good for 4 persons calls for 2/3 cup of milk.
How much milk will be needed by a recipe for 6 persons?
 a. 4 cups c. 2 cups
b. 1cup d. 8cups

Rationalization

Given:

Let x be the number of cups needed by a recipe for 6 persons

4 persons for 2/3 cup of milk = 4: 2/3

6 persons for x cup of milk = 6: x

Formula

Use the Rule of Ratio and Proportions

4: 2/3 = 6: x

Solution:
4 6
4: 2/3 = 6: x  2/3 = x

4 6
2/ 3
= x

Do cross multiplication Method:

4x = 6(2/3)

4x = 12/3

4x = 4

(4x = 4)1/4

x=1
Therefore, 1 cup of milk is needed by a recipe
for 6 persons.

Explanation: To answer this problem, we need to use the rule of Ratio and
Proportion. We need to let x as the number of cups of milk needed by a
recipe for 6 persons. We then convent them into ratios; 4 persons for 2/3
cup of milk will be translated as 4 is to 2/3, and we will translate the second
sentence as 6 is to x. After that, we will merge them to make a proportion,
which is (4 is to two-thirds is equal to 6 is to x). Then proceed on solving
the proportion by using the cross multiplication method. That will be 4x is
equal to 6 times two-thirds. Six times two-thirds is equal to 4. Multiply both
sides by ¼ to find the value of x. Thus, our value of x is 1. Therefore, 1 cup
of milk is needed by a recipe for 6 persons.

100. Which of the following has the largest value:

a. 2 + 22 + (2 + 2 ) 2 c. (2 + 2)22
b. 43 d. (2 + 2 + 2)2

Rationalization:

To answer this, when we have some doubts with only using our
observation, we can make use of the Trial and Error Method to find which
of the four options has the largest value.

A. 2 + 22 + (2 + 2 ) 2 = 2+4+42 = 6+16 = 22

B. 43 = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64

C. [(2 + 2)2] = 16

D. (2 + 2 + 2)2 = 62 =36

By looking at the values from the options, we can conclude that letter C is
the answer since it has the largest value.
 101. The expression 1/100 + 1/25 + 1/1000 is
equal to__.

a. 0.0051 c. 0.51
b. 0.006 d. 0.051

Rationalization:

Solution:

1/100 + 1/25 + 1/1000 = 0.01 + 0.04 + .001 = 0.051

Explanation: To find the decimal value of the added fractions, we need to
use our calculators to find the values. If there is no calculator, we can use
the rule of converting fractions to decimals as long as the numerators are
not that complicated. As long as the numerator is one and their
denominators are in 10, 100, 1000, 10,000 and so on, we can convert them
in decimals. 1/100 is 0.01 in decimal form; 1/25 is 0.04 and 1/1000 is 0.001
in decimal form. Adding the three decimals will yield a sum of 0.051.

102. How many members of Set A are factors of any members

of Set B?
Set A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Set B = {1, 2, 7, 9, 10}
a. 6 b. 5 c. 4 d. 3

Rationalization:

To find how many members in Set A are factors of any member in Set B,
we will first know the factors in each member in Set B.

Set B

Factors of 1 - 1
Factors of 2 – 1 and 2

Factors of 7 – 1 and 7

Factors of 9 – 1, 3, 9

Factors of 10 – 1, 2, 5, 10

Notice that 1, 2 and 7 are prime numbers; therefore, we will focus

ourselves in the numbers 9 and 10. Looking at the numbers of Set A, we
can see that 1, 2, 3 and 5 are factors of any members of Set B. Therefore,
four members of Set A are factors of any members in Set B.

103. A store lost P252, 000 last year. What was its average
loss per month?
a. P20,000 c. P21,500
b. P20,500 d. P2,000

Rationalization:

Solution: P252, 000 / 12 months = P 21,000

Explanation: To find the average lost per month of the store, we will divide
P252, 000 by 12 since there’s twelve months in one year.

Therefore it will be P252, 000 divided by 12. The quotient is Php 21,000.

In conclusion, the average lost per month of the store is Php 21,000 and
the answer is not in the options.

104. If x is an odd integer and y is an even integer, which of

the following is an odd integer?
a. 2x – y c. X2 + 3y
b. X2 + y – 1 d. X – 1
Rationalization:

After reading the first sentence, we can see that the variable x is an odd
integer and the variable y is an even integer.

Given:

x- odd integer

y- even integer

Putting this into consideration, we can;

Let x = 1 and Let y = 2

And then, we need to use the Trial and Error Method to find which one from
the options have a value that is an odd integer.

A. 2x – y = 2(1) – (2) = 2-2= 0

B. X2 + y – 1 = 12 + 2 – 1 = 1 + 2 -1 = 2

C. X2 + 3y = 12 + 22 = 1 +4 = 5

D. x – 1 = 1 – 1 = 0

Looking at the trial and error method we have made, we can conclude that
letter C is the correct answer since the value of the equation is 5.

105. The first 5 numbers in a sequence are 5, 6, 8, 11 and 15. What are the 8 th and
10th numbers in the sequence?
a. 32 and 49 c. 27 and 42
b. 26 and 49 d. 33 and 50

SOLUTION:
In this sequence, we need to find the pattern on how this sequence arrives
since the first 5 terms are already given:
5, 6, 8, 11, 15, ___, ____, ___, ____, ___

Let us try first to subtract the consecutive terms to see the pattern between
these terms.
6-5=1 2nd term minus the first term
 8-6=2 3rd term minus the second term
11-8=3 4th term minus the third term
15-11=4 5th term minus the 4th term

Hence, we can see that we just need to add the preceding counting numbers
to find the next term. In that sense, we can already get the 8 th term and 10th
term.

15+5= 20, 6th term of the sequence

20+6= 26, 7th term of the sequence
26+7=33, 8th term of the sequence
33+8= 41, 9th term of the sequence
41+9= 50, 10th term of the sequence

Therefore, the 8th term of the sequence is 33 while the 10th term of the sequence is 50. That’s
why letter d is the correct answer.

106. What percent of 4 is 3 of 8?

5
a. 83 1/3 % c. 80%
b. 48% d. 120%

SOLUTION:
3
In this problem, we need to get first the value of of 8.
5
3
8 × =4.8
5
Hence, 4.8 is the 3/5 of 8. By that, we can now proceed to the next step which
is to find the percent of 4.8 to 4.

4.8
=1.2 ×100=120 %
4
Therefore, 120% is the correct answer.

107. What is the counting number that is less than 15 and when divided by 3 has a
remainder of 1, but when divided by 4 has remainders of 2?
a. 5 b. 12 c. 8 d. 10

SOLUTION:

The easiest way to get the unknown counting number is to list down the
possible numbers that is less than 15 and when you divide by 3 the remainder
is 1
4, 7, 10, 13
 4 divided by 3 will result into a remainder of 1 and same with 7, 10 and 13

Next, list down the possible numbers that is less than 15 and when you divide
by 4 the remainder is 2

6, 10, 14
6 divided by 4 will result into a remainder of 2 and same with 10 and 14.

In that case, 10 appear in both equations. Thus, 10 is the counting number

that is less than 15 when divided by 3 has a remainder of 1 and when divided
by 4 has remainders of 2.

108. Which of these weights is heaviest?

a. 2250 gm c. 5 pounds
b. 2.5 kg d. 4200mg

SOLUTION:
To find the heaviest weight, let us first convert the option to the same unit of
mass in order for us to compare the options. It’s either in kg, g, pounds, or mg.
But in this problem, let us use the conversion of mass to kg.

Mg stands for milligram

G stands for gram
Kg stands for kilogram

a. 2250g= 2.25 kg
b. 2.5 kg we don’t need to convert this since it is already in the form of kg
c. 5 pounds= 2.27 kg
d. 4200mg= 0.0042kg

Therefore, among the choices the heaviest weight is 2.5 kg.

109. Which of the following is the factorization of the binomial x 2 – 42?

a. (x + 4)(x + 2) c. X(x + 2x = 2)
b. (x - 4)2 d. (x – 4)(x + 4)

SOLUTION:
To get the answer we need to factor out the binomial of x 2 – 42
As observe in the equation, the terms are both in perfect squares.
So let us use the formula of factoring binomial equation

formula : x 2− y 2=(x ± y)(x ∓ y)

x 2−4 2=(x−4 )(x+ 4)
 Hence, (x−4)(x +4) is the factorization of x2 – 42

To check this factorization: Use the foil method

First , outer, inner, and last

(x−4)(x +4)

x×x=x 2

( x)(4)=4 x

(−4 ) ( x )=−4 x

(−4 ) ( 4 )=−16
2
x + 4 x−4 x−16

Combine like terms, then, the result is x 2−16 which is similar to x2 – 42

Hence, the factorization is correct.

110. What percent of 560 is 35?

a. 6.5% c. 6.25%
b. 16% d. 65%

SOLUTION:
To get the percent, divide it first and then multiply it by 100 to get the percent.
35
=0.0625 ×100=6.25 %
560

111. How much interest be paid on a bank loan of P30,000 for 8 months at 12% annual
interest?
a. P3,240 c. P2,800
b. P2,400 d. P3,600

SOLUTION:
To find the value of interest, let us use the formula on getting the interest.
Interest= P×R×T
Where p is the principal amount
r is the rate
t is the time
 Substitute the given:

p= 30,000

r= 12% which is 0.12

t= 8 months (annually)

Write 12% into decimal for the rate and 8/12 for the time because the payment is
done annually. The numerator is 8 while the denominator is 12 because in a year
there are 12 months.

I =P × R ×T

8
I =30,000 ×0.12 ×
12

I =30,000 ×0.08

I =2400

Hence, 2400 is the interest amount to be paid.

112. Which of the fractions has the LEAST value?

a. 7/12 c. 6/17
b. 8/9 d. 7/8
SOLUTION:
To find the least value easily, convert this fraction to decimal.
a. 7/12= 0.5833333333
b. 8/9=0.88888888889
c. 6/17= 0.3529411765
d. 7/8=0.875
Therefore, among the choices the least value is 6/17 which is only 0.35

113. What are the odds of getting two 5’s in a single throw of a pair of dice?
a. 2/35 c. 35/36
b. 1/35 d.1/36
SOLUTION:
 To find the probability of getting 5’s in a single throw of a pair of dice, we need
to multiply the probability of getting 5 in a single die to itself. But before that we
need to know the probability of getting 5 in a single die.

In a die, there are 6 faces and each number has a different number on it. So,
the probability of rolling a single die and getting 5 is 1/6 because there is one 5
in a die that’s why 1 is the numerator while the denominator is 6 because there
6 faces in a single die.
Then, we can now solve the odds of getting 5’s in a single throw of a pair of
dice.
1 1 1
× =
6 6 36

Hence, d is the correct answer which is 1/36.

114. How many integers between 1 and 150 are divisible by both 4 and 5?
a. 9 b. 10 c. 8 d. 7
SOLUTION:
To get the answer, list the numbers between 1 and 150 that are divisible by
both 4 and 5.
20, 40, 60, 80,100,120,140
Therefore, there are 7 numbers that are divisible by 4 and 5.

115. The area of square is 32x. Which of the following could be the value of x?
a. 2 b. 6 c. 3 d. 4
SOLUTION:

The formula of getting the area of square is A=s 2

In that sense, the area should yield into a perfect square number
32 times the value of x should be a perfect square.
Therefore, let us try the options if which among these value times 32 is a
perfect square.
a. 2×32=64 it is a perfect square because the factor of 64 is 8 and itself.
b. 6×32=192 not a perfect square
c. 3×32=96 not a perfect square
d. 4×32=128 not a perfect square
Among the answer, the number that is perfect square is 64. Therefore, x should
be 2.

116. How much is 80% of 37% of 2.4?

a. 7.2 b. 1.92 c. 19.2 d. 72
The answer for this one is 0.7104
SOLUTION:
In this problem, we need to get first the value of 37% of 2.4.
 2 ×0.37=0.888
Hence, 0.888 is the 37% of 2.4. By that, we can now proceed to the next step
which is to find the value of 80% of 0.888.

0.888 ×0.80=0.7104
Therefore, 0.7104 is the correct answer.

117. Two buses leave the same station at 9:00 pm. One bus travels north at the
rate of 30 kph and the other travels east at 40 kph. How many kilometers apart are
the buses at 10 pm?
a. 140 km c. 70 km
b. 100 km d. 50 km

Rationalization:
There are 2 buses travel at a different direction.
-Bus A at North which travels at a rate of 30kph
-Bus B at East which travels at a rate of 40 kph

Solution:
Time 8:00 pm to 10:00pm =2 hours travel
The formula for velocity = (Distance/time), given th two velocity of the buses, we are
looking for the distance so we can derived the formula as
Distance= (velocity)(time)
Distance of Bus A= (30kph)(2hrs)=60km North
Distance of Bus B= (40kph)(2hrs)=80km East

After 2 hours the buses are 60 km and 80 km away from the starting point.

If we are going to plot this on paper we can noticed that we are creating a right
triangle, which is give the two LEGS and asked for the HYPOTENUSE

We can use here the formula or Pythagorean theorem c 2= a2+ b2

c 2= a 2+ b 2
= (Bus A)2+ ( Bus B)2
= (60km)2+ ( 80 km)2
= 360km2 + 640km2
c2 =10000km2
square root of (10000km2 )= 100km
c= 100km

118. What is the average of 1/2, ¼ and 1/3?

119. A vendor sold one snack of rice more than she paid for it, what information is
needed to find his gain?
a. The amount paid by the customer per sack
b. The amount she paid for it
c. The number of sacks sold
d. The amount she was paid

Rationalization:
The answer is letter A because it was stated in the first sentence that the
vendor sold one sack of rice more than he paid of it. This means that in order to find
the gain we need to know amount she paid for a sack of rice. Let us take for example
if she bought a sack of rice for 2500 pesos and after she sold it, she garnered Php
3,200 pesos. Therefore she gained 700 pesos. With this, we can conclude that by
finding the price of a sack of rice she paid for every sack we can calculate her gain
instantly.

120. What is the average of ½, ¼ and 1/3?

a. 13/12 c. 13/2

121. Molting is a process whereby insects shed off their old cuticle to grow in size.
This is called ___.
a. Sclerotic peel c. Ecdysis
b. cyclosis d. Metamorphosis

Rationalization:

Ecdysis is the moulting of the cuticle in many invertebrates of the clade Ecdysozoa.
Since the cuticle of these animals typically forms a largely inelastic exoskeleton, it is
shed during growth and a new, larger covering is formed. The remnants of the old,
empty exoskeleton are called exuvia

----Cytoplasmic streaming, known as cyclosis, is a movement of cytoplasm in various

organisms including bacteria, higher plants, and animals

----Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal

physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively
abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation.
 
122. In a series circuit, how many complete pathways of electricity are produced?
a. 3 c. 4
b. Depends on the number of bulb d. 1

Rationalization:

In this item, the answer is letter D because, a series circuit is one in which
there is only one pathway for the electric current to follow. The components are
arranged one after another in a single pathway. When we connect the components
we say that they are connected in series.  Each charge passing through the loop of
the external circuit will pass through each resistor in consecutive fashion.
123. Blocks of asphalt roads are left with a narrow gap in-between them in order to
____.
a. Hold extra dust and small particles of sand
b. Give allowance for expansion during hot days
c. Serve as passage of water during rainy days
d. Make roads with equal blocks and gaps

Rationalization:
All asphalt is susceptible to cracks forming through through changes in
moisture retention and temperature changes. Asphalt like other material, it expands
its volume when temperature increases during hot days. During hot days it increases
the temperature that would damage the pavement. It can cause any moisture to dry
up, making it brittle. This leads to developing cracks due to regular traffic, both
vehicular and pedestrian. So, they need small space to avoid any crack.

124. Which of these use the principle that pressure is transmitted equally in all
directions in a liquid?
a. Hydraulic devices
b. Fluid –operated crane
c. Stoppered devices
d. Buoyed appliances

Rationalization:
A hydraulic device is a device that uses liquids to transmit pressure equally
from one point to another. They consist of a column of confined fluyid with a piston at
each end. It uses a incompressible fluid, such as oil or water, to transmit forces from
one location to another within the fluid.

125. Which of the following environmental conditions has been blamed for the
usual occurred of “fish kills”?
a. Acid rain c. Atmospheric pollution
b. Eutrophication d. Sitting of lakes

Rationalization:
Harmful algal blooms, dead zones, and fish kills are the results of a process
called eutrophication which occurs when the environment becomes enriched
with nutrients, increasing the amount of plant and algae growth
to estuaries and coastal waters.
 Hypoxia, considered to be the most severe symptom of eutrophication.
Hypoxia occurs when algae and other organisms die, sink to the bottom, and
are decomposed by bacteria, using the available dissolved oxygen. Salinity
and temperature differences between surface and subsurface waters lead to
stratification, limiting oxygen replenishment from surface waters and creating
conditions that can lead to the formation of a hypoxic or “dead” zone. The
formatioin of dead zones can lead to fish kills

Acid rain - Acid rain, or acid deposition, is a broad term that includes any form
of precipitation with acidic components, such as sulfuric or nitric acid that fall
to the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms. This can include rain,
snow, fog, hail or even dust that is acidic.

126. Why are doorknobs placed at the edge of a door than in the center?
a. To increase the lever arm
b. It is closer to the edge of the doorway
c. To help give more momentum to the door
d. To increase the force on the door

Rationalization:
Putting the knob as far away from the hinges as the width of the door allows for a
better lever arm, and therefore opening the door requires less force. This makes it
more convenient to open the door with minimal amount of force applied.

127. What part of the brain acts as the center of our emotions?
a. Cerebrum c. Cerebellum
b. Thalamus d. Medulla

Rationalization:
a. Cerebrum itself contains the major lobes of the brain and is responsible for
receiving and giving meaning to information from the sense organs, as well as
controlling the body. It initiates and coordinates movement and regulates
temperature.
b. The thalamus is part of the limbic system. It consists of two lobes of grey
matter along the bottom of the cerebral cortex. Because nearly all senory
information passes through the thalamus it is considered the sensory “ way
station” of the brain, passing information on the cerebral cortex. Lesions of, or
 stimulation to , the thalamus are associated with changes in emotional
reactivity. However, the importance of this structure on the regulation of
emotional behavior is not due to the activity of the thalamus itself, but to the
connections between the thalamus and other limbic structures.
c. The cerebellum, or “little brain”, is similar to the cerebrum with its two
hemispheres and highly folded surface. It is associated with regulation and
coordination of movement, posture, balance and cardiac, respiratory and
vasomotor center. People who have damage to the cerebellum have difficulty
walking, keeping their balance, and holding their hands steady.
d. The primary role of the medulla is regulating our involuntary life sustaining
functions such as breathing, swallowing and heart rate. As part of the brain
stem, it also helps transfer neural messages to and from the brain and spinal
cord. It is located at the junction of the spinal cord and brain.

As what I have researched, It should be limbic system since this is the center of our
emotions. The limbic system is a group of interconnected structures located deep
within the brain. It’s the part of the brain that’s responsible for behavioral and
emotional responses.

128. What is the technology being used now in the surgery of the retina?
a. X-ray c. Optical ray
b. Laser d. CT scan

Rationalization:

Laser surgery (photocoagulation).

The surgeon directs a laser beam into the eye through the pupil. The laser makes
burns around the retinal tear, creating scarring that usually "welds" the retina to
underlying tissue.

With this treatment, your doctor will shine a medical laser inside your eye and make small
burns around the tear or hole in your retina. The burns create small scars that fix the tear
and help hold your retina in place.

When you get this treatment, your doctor will:

 Put numbing medicine in your eye

  Shine the laser through the pupil of your eye to seal the tear in your retina

You may see a flashing light when your doctor uses the laser. After this treatment, your
doctor may give you special eye drops to help keep your eye from swelling. You may need
to avoid some activities, like vigorous exercise or heavy lifting, while your eye heals.

---X-rays are types of electromagnetic radiation probably most well-known for their ability to
see through a person's skin and reveal images of the bones beneath it.

----Optical rays are the single line or narrow beam of light from a small or distant source.
Rays are used to model the propagation of light through an optical system, by dividing the
real light field up into discrete rays that can be computationally propagated through the
system by the techniques of ray tracing.

----A computerized tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray images taken from

different angles around your body and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional
images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body. CT scan
images provide more-detailed information than plain X-rays do.

So, option A, C and D are not the answer since the question is referring to the surgery of the
retina.

129. What is the reason why a pressure cooker cooks food faster?
I. Water boils faster
II. It raises the boiling point of water
III. It raises the cooking temperature of food.
IV. It is tightly closed
a. II and III c. I, II an d IV
b. I, II and III d. II and IV
EXPLANATION. I, II, IV
c. Principle utilized in pressure cooker is that boiling point of water increases with
increase in pressure. Because of increase in boiling point heat provided to
cooker is utilized to increase its temperature rather than converting its
state(latent heat) - water to steam. Pressure cooker has a confined space sealed
from all side (except valve which is used to release excess pressure). when heat
is supplied to the cooker it first increases the temperature of water. when the
water reaches 100 degree Celsius ( water's boiling point at atmospheric
pressure) some of it starts converting to steam and starts filing the confined
pressure cooker space.
 and also because the hot air and steam are trapped, a pressure cooker allows
you to heat the moisture – steam and water.

130.Global warming can be prevented by _____.

a. Using refuse-derived fuel incinerator
b. Preventing increase of vehicle exhaust
c. Preventing build-up of open house gases
d. Using Freon in many household devices
Explanation: Global warming will cause significant harm to the health of persons
and their communities

The best correct answer is letter b because as what we have observed in our society
that most of the people are using vehicles in their daily living and it increases the
chanceo of vehicle exhaust. In preventing air pollutants is Keep your vehicle well-
tuned and tires inflated properly to reduce exhaust emissions. Combine errands into
one trip — cars pollute less when they are warmed up. Avoid idling — idling exhaust
contains more pollutants than running exhaust.

A. is a fuel produced from various types of waste such as municipal solid

waste (MSW), industrial waste or commercial waste.
c.Greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by making power on-site with
renewable and other climate-friendly energy resources.

d. Freon is not only used in air conditioning units, but it has also been
used in upright and chest freezers. On top of those, there are a large
number of commercial and industrial appliances that use Freon in both
food transportation and cold storage warehouses.

131. What nutrients can be absorbed in our body without undergoing digestion?
a. Carbohydrates c. Proteins
b. Fats d. Vitamins

Carbohydrates - Almost all of the carbohydrates, except for dietary fiber and resistant starches, are
efficiently digested and absorbed into the body. Carbohydrates are hydrophilic and require a series of
reactions to digest them to monosaccharides which are absorbed in the small intestine.

Fats - Fat takes longer to digest than other foods, and the amount of time varies based on the type of
fat

Proteins - our body can't absorb proteins in their natural state. Certain proteases in our stomach and
pancreas break the bonds that hold the amino acids in protein together so our body can absorb the
composite amino acids individually. Being unable to break protein into amino acids and absorb protein,
will make you have poor gut health, which ultimately leads to numerous digestion issues.
Vitamins - Although they naturally exist in association with various foods and may be carried through
your gastrointestinal system as your foods undergo digestion, they are small enough for your small
intestine to absorb without digestion. Vitamins are classified as either water-soluble or fat-soluble,
depending on their ability to mix with water. Special proteins in the cells of your small intestine bind to
water-soluble vitamins for absorption, while fat-soluble vitamins absorb into your intestinal cells along
with digested fat molecules.

132.Choose the biogeochemical cycle.

a. Carbon dioxide c. Hydrogen
b. Oxygen d. Mineral
BONUS
I think mineral is not included to the choices. The six most common elements associated
with organic molecules (carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus,
and sulfur) take a variety of chemical forms and may exist for long periods in the
atmosphere, on land, in water, or beneath the earth's surface.
Biogeochemical is relating to or denoting the cycle in which chemical elements
and simple substances are transferred between living systems and the
environment

133.The escape mechanism by which the mudfish and the catfish change from a darker color to a
lighter one depending on the color of the water is called _______.
a. Protective mimicry
b. Adaptive coloration
c. Habitat protection
d. Aggressive coloration
A.Protective mimicry, when a species benefits from reduced predation
by mimicking another unprofitable species. Example, In this form of
mimicry, a deadly prey mimics the warning signs of a less dangerous
species. A good example involves the milk, coral, and false coral
snakes.
b.Is the correct answer because It is bright and contrast coloration, which is
easy-to-see from afar. It is intended for the predator to remember the
appearance of the dangerous prey better and prevent the predator from
approaching it the next time. The color of an organism is a structural
adaptation that helps it survive. In nature, plants and animals use color and
patterns in different ways.

c. Habitat protection is to preserving biodiversity. Migratory species are

particularly vulnerable to habitat destruction because they tend to inhabit
more than one natural habitat. ... Altering a natural habitat even slightly can
result in a domino effect that harms the entire ecosystem.

D. Aggressive coloration • The animals develop color pattern to threaten or frighten other
animals. • Example,Eyed hawk moth uses the eye spots to threaten the predators.
134.Which group of organisms cause “red tide”?

a. Bacteria c. Algae
b. Dinoflagellates d. Jellyfishes
c. The correct answer is C.
Red tides are caused by algae, which are tiny, microscopic organisms that grow in the
water. In fact, the water changes color in a red tide because the population of algae living
in the water becomes so dense. Red tides have been around since long before humans.
A. Bacteria are small single-celled organisms. Bacteria are found almost everywhere on
Earth and are vital to the planet's ecosystems.
B. Dinoflagellates are monophyletic group of single-celled eukaryotes constituting the
phylum Dinoflagellata and usually considered algae. Red tides are conditions when a
dinoflagellate population increases to such huge numbers that it discolors the water.
However, it is not an organism.
C. Algae are sometimes considered plants and sometimes considered "protists" (a grab-
bag category of generally distantly related organisms that are grouped on the basis of not
being animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, or archaeans.
D. Jellyfishes do not contribute on the red tide.

135. Ecologist associate the relation between climate and vegetation and animal life with the
term ___.
a. Biosphere c. Population
b. Habitat d. Biome
A. biosphere is made up of the parts of Earth where life exists. The biosphere extends
from the deepest root systems of trees, to the dark environment of ocean trenches, to
lush rain forests and high mountaintops. The Earth's water—on the surface, in the
ground, and in the air—makes up the hydrosphere.

B. In ecology, the term habitat summarizes the array of resources, physical and biotic
factors that are present in an area, such as to support the survival and reproduction of a
particular species.

C. Population is a particular section, group, or type of people or animals living in an area

or country.

D. A biome is a large area characterized by its vegetation, soil, climate, and wildlife.

136. Patients suffering from defective kidneys are now assisted by a machine called ______.

a. Hemodialzer c. Hemoscope
b. Nephros machine d. Nephridium scanner
The correct answer is HEMODIALYSIS MACHINE / DIALYSIS MACHIN
Hemodialysis machine houses a computer, a pump, a dialyzer or filter, and
dialysate or dialysis solution. The machine's computer monitors blood flow, blood
pressure, and how much fluid is removed from your body during your treatment

Hemodialzer device that allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the
dialysate through a semipermeable membrane.

Nephros machine are used in hospitals and medical clinics for added protection in retaining
bacteria (e.g., Legionella, Pseudomonas) and viruses from water, providing barriers that assist
in improving infection control in showers, sinks, and ice machines.

Haemoscope An instrument devised by Hermann, for regulating and measuring the thickness of
a layer of blood for spectroscopic examination.

Nephridium scanner is a unit of the excretory system in many primitive invertebrates and also in
the amphioxus; it expels wastes from the body cavity to the (usually aquatic) exterior

137. Which are the food eaters or consumers in an ecosystem?

a. Autotrophs c. Producers
b. Secomposers d. Heterotrophs
autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon
dioxide, or other chemicals

A decomposer in science is “an organism that feeds on and breaks down dead animal
or plant matter” and breaks down the waste of other organisms . This process helps provide
organic nutrients for the ecosystem where it lives

Producers are any kind of green plant. Green plants make their food by taking sunlight and
using the energy to make sugar. Some examples of producers in the food chain include green
plants, small shrubs, fruit, phytoplankton, and algae.

The correct answer is letter D because Heterotrophs are known as consumers because they
consume producers or other consumers. Heterotrophs cannot make their own food, so they
must eat or absorb it. For this reason, heterotrophs are also known as consumer

138. Which is an aggregate fruit that originates from a cluster of matured ovaries?
a. Strawberry c. Pea
b. Pineapple d. Guava
Strawberry is the right answer because an aggregate fruit is a cluster of several
to many ripened ovaries produced by a single flower and borne on the same
receptacle. The individual, ripened ovaries may be drupes (as in raspberries and
blackberries), achiness (as in buttercups), and so forth.
strawberry is called an accessory fruit because the fleshy pulp is derived from the
receptacle of the flower. It is also an aggregate fruit because it consists of numerous
small achenes that developed from an apocarpous gynoecium. The strawberry is also
termed an aggregate fruit because it is formed from many separate carpels of a single
flower. Other aggregate fruits are raspberry and blackberry. Some people mistakenly
refer to strawberries as a multiple fruit.

Pineapple is a multiple or many ovaries and this is not a aggregate.

Pea is considered an aggregate fruit because they arise from a single flower that
consists of many ovaries.

Guava is also an aggregate fruit.

139. Which gas is manufactured by green plants into starch?

a. Carbon dioxide c. Oxygen
b. Hydrogen d. Helium

Carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water
(H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses
electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This
transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose. Plants use a
process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light
energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon
dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make
other substances like cellulose and starch.

Hydrogen along with carbon and oxygen, are the three primary elements plants use in
the largest amounts, and they perform as the building blocks for plant growth. ...
Hydrogen ions are vital in both aiding proton gradients to help drive the electron
transport chain in photosynthesis, and for plant respiration.

Oxygen, According to National Geographic, about 70% of the oxygen in the atmosphere
comes from marine plants and plant-like organisms.

Helium is used to provide Oxygen is used by animals and plants in the respiration

(breathing) process. Tanks of oxygen are used in medicine to treat people with
breathing problems. They are also used as life support for astronauts and scuba
divers. an inert protective atmosphere for making fibre optics and
semiconductors, and for arc welding. Helium is also used to detect leaks, such as in
car air-conditioning systems, and because it diffuses quickly it is used to inflate car
airbags after impact.

Starch is manufactured in the green leaves of plants from excess glucose

produced during photosynthesis and serves the plant as a reserve food
supply.

140. Many amphibians may lose a part of their body such as a leg or tail. They have
the ability to grow a lost part. This ability is known as__________.
a. Rejuvenation c. Regeneration
b. Reproduction d. Resuscitation
a.Rejuvenation is a process that not only delays aging but actually
reverts it, leading to a younger cell, tissue, or body. Rejuvenation would
erase age-accumulated damage and aging hallmarks collected during
one's life.
b. Reproduction is the production of offspring. There are two main
forms: sexual and asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, an
organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is
genetically unique.
c.Is the correct answer because Regeneration is the natural process of
replacing or restoring damaged or missing cells, tissues, organs,
and even entire body parts to full function in plants and animals.
d.Resuscitation is a lifesaving technique that's useful in many emergencies,
such as a heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or
heartbeat has stopped

nucleus of an atom. Which is this phenomenon?

a. Fusion - the act or process of liquefying or rendering plastic by heat

b. Radioactivity - Radioactivity is a physical, not a biological, phenomenon. Simply stated,
the radioactivity of a sample can be measured by counting how many atoms are
spontaneously decaying each second.
Radioactivity is the property of some unstable atoms ( radionuclides) to spontaneously
emit nuclear radiation, usually alpha particles or beta particles often accompanied by
gamma-rays.

production of more flowers and fruits.
b. Methane - Methane (a gas composed of carbon and hydrogen) is produced two ways:
Through biologic decomposition of organic matter at shallow depths.
c. Ester -  A compound or functional group derived from alcohol condensation and an acid
with simultaneous water loss.
d. Alcogas - fuel blends of alcohol and gasoline or diesel.

143. The atomic releases a tremendous amount of energy through _________.

a. Combination of light atoms - the combination of two light atomic nuclei to form a

heavier nucleus is called fusion
b. Fission -  Fission occurs when a neutron strikes the nucleus of either isotope,
splitting the nucleus into fragments and releasing a tremendous amount of energy. Simply
as fission an atom splits into smaller particles.
c. Thermonuclear chain- Chains of thermonuclear reactions, such as the proton-proton cycle
(q.v.) and the carbon cycle (q.v.), account for the energy radiated from the Sun and most
other stars
d. Fusion - fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast
amounts of energy. fusion takes place when two low-mass isotopes, typically isotopes of
hydrogen, unite under conditions of extreme pressure and temperature
 144. An object weighs 30 N on earth. A second object weighs 30 N on the moon.
Which of the two objects has the greater mass?
a. The one the moon

b. They have the same mass

c. Cannot be determined
d. The one on earth

The object on the moon has a greater mass.

The equations Force = Mass * Acceleration can be used to solve this problem

Using 9.8 m/s^2 for earth’s acceleration of gravity and 1.6 m/s^2 for the moon, the
equation can be used to solve for the mass, given the force in Newtons.

Solving for the mass on earth:

30 N = 9.8 m/s^2 * mass

This gives the object on earth a mass of 3.0 kg

Solving for the mass on the moon:

30 N = 1.6 m/s^2 * mass

This gives the object on the moon a mass of 19. Kg

Therefore, the object on the moon has a greater mass.

a. The one the moon

b. They have the same mass
c. Cannot be determined
d. The one on earth

abysmal – immeasurably deep or extreme, fathomless

147. When molecules of ink turn a glassful of water into blue, what process has
occurred?
a. Absorption - Absorption is a separate mechanism from adsorption because molecules
undergoing absorption are soaked up by the length, not by the air.
b. Osmosis - osmosis is the movement of any solvent through a selectively permeable
membrane into an area of higher solute concentration, the result of which will be an
equalizing of solute concentration on either side of the membrane..
c. Diffusion - Diffusion occurs in all states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. It occurs
rapidly enough to be observable in a reasonable period of time, however, only in liquids

stream water?

a. Alkyl benzene sulfonate

b. Phosphorus and benzene
c. Phosphorus and alkyl
d. Oil and benzene

Alkyl benzene sulfonate (ABS) refers to a family of branched chain organic chemical compounds
that were used as detergents. They are regarded as "hard" detergents due to their resistance to
biological degradation. These compounds have been widely replaced by linear alkyl sulfonate
(LAS), which is environmentally friendly and easily biodegrades to simpler substances. Alkyl
benzene sulfonate caused persistent foam in sewage treatment plants, streams and rivers and
created environmental problems.
 150. What happens to the speed of a light ray as it passes from water to air?
a. Increase
b. Remains the same
c. Decreases
d. Increases then decreases

This item talks about the idea of Refraction of light. Based from what I have read in the internet

Substance Refractive index Speed of light in substance Angle of refraction if

(x 1,000,000 m/s) incident ray enters
substance at 20º
Air 1.00 300 20
Water 1.33 226 14.9
Glass 1.5 200 13.2
Diamond 2.4 125 8.2

Refractive index of some transparent substances

Based on the Refractive index of some transparent substances, air has 1.00 refractive
index and water has 1.33

Now, It was stated that If light travels enters into a substance with a lower refractive
index (such as from water into air) it speeds up. And If light enters any substance with a
higher refractive index (such as from air into glass) it slows down. The light bends
towards the normal line.

According to the question from water to air, since the light ray passes from water to the
air which has a lower refractive index, we can conclude that that it speeds up, or the
speed increases.
