Question 2 of 5

What does 'Compensatory' mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Compensatory' means offsetting or making up for something. In this context, it refers to the act of providing something in order to make up for a deficiency or loss. It is not related to being harmful, hindering, or adding unnecessary work. 'Harmful' (Choice A), 'Adding unnecessary work' (Choice C), and 'Hindering' (Choice D) are incorrect as they do not align with the meaning of 'Compensatory.'

Question 3 of 5

What does 'Contour' mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Contour' specifically refers to the shape or outline of something. In art and geography, contours are used to represent the outline or shape of an object or landform, making choice B the correct definition. Choice A, 'Flat area,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of contour which is about the shape or outline. Choice C, 'Volume of a structure,' is unrelated to the concept of contour. Choice D, 'Height of a structure,' is also incorrect as contour is more about the shape and not the height of an object.

Question 4 of 5

What is the process of digestion?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: The mechanical and chemical breakdown of food. Digestion involves breaking down food mechanically and chemically into smaller components for absorption by the body. This process occurs in the digestive system, preparing nutrients for absorption in the intestines. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because digestion is not solely about the production of enzymes, absorption of nutrients in the blood, or movement of enzymes; it primarily involves breaking down food for nutrient absorption.
