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.

In question number 22 above choose the best option from letters A- D that best complete the gap
A
direction
B
flavour
C
flaw
D
meaning
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The gap in the sentence shows that the sentence is pointing out a limitation or problem with the distinction being discussed (between proportionate and disproportionate fear/anxiety). The word that best completes the thought is flaw.

Solution
If the air inside a rigid box is heated, the i, average speed of the molecules increases ii. pressure of the air increases iii. average separation of the molecule increases. Which of the statements above are correct?
A
i and ii only
B
ii and iii only
C
i and iii only
D
i, ii and iii
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
When air in a rigid box is heated, the molecules move faster, causing more forceful collisions with the walls and hence increasing the pressure. Since the box cannot expand, the average separation remains unchanged.

Current Electricity & Electric Circuits
Solution
An object of mass 0.25kg moves at a height h above the ground with a speed of 4ms-1, if its mechanical energy at this height is 12 J, determine the value of h. [g = 10ms-1]
A
0.8m
B
4.0m
C
4.8m
D
5.6m
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The total mechanical energy E at height h is given by: E = PE + KE
E = mgh + \(\frac{1}{2}\)mv\(^2\)
12 = (0.25 x 10 x h) + (0.5 x 0.25 x 4 x 4)
12 = 2.5h + 2
2.5h = 12 - 2 = 10
h = \(\frac{10}{2.5}\) = 4m.
