Solution
In question number 21 above choose the best option from letters A- D that best complete the gap
A
imaginary
B
unrealistic
C
ominous
D
unusual
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage establishes a distinction between two types of fear:
Fear: A reaction that is proportionate to the danger (e.g., a mother's fear when a child has a serious illness).
Anxiety: A reaction that is disproportionate (gap 20) to the danger, or a reaction to a danger that is not real or present.
The second part of the distinction is what fills the gap. This term must describe a danger that is not real or immediately present. The word "imaginary" means non-existent; existing only in the mind.

Stoichiometry, Mole Concept & Volumetric Analysis
Solution
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
From the equation above, calculate the mass of sodium hydroxide produced by 2.3g of sodium.
[H = 1, O = 16, Na = 23]
A
0.40g
B
0.80g
C
4.00g
D
8.00g
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
Relative molecular mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40smol-1
2 * 23g of sodium react with water to produce
2 * 40g of NaOH
∴ 2.3g of sodium will react with water to produce
(2.3 * 40 * 2)/(23 * 2) = 4.00g
