1. Three puzzle pieces connect at labeled points. Piece A connects to Piece B at point 'x', and Piece B connects to Piece C at point 'y'. What can be concluded?
Piece A connects to B at 'x' and B connects to C at 'y', but A and C have no stated direct connection.
2. Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'The commander's decision was _____ by all officers in the unit.'

3. What type of galaxy is the Milky Way?
The Milky Way is classified as a barred spiral galaxy (type SBbc). It has a central bar-shaped structure of stars from which spiral arms extend outward in a pinwheel pattern.
4. What is the total resistance (RT) of a circuit with three resistors (R1=10Ω, R2=20Ω, R3=30Ω) connected in series?
In a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of all individual resistances. The current flows through each resistor sequentially, so their resistances add up. Therefore, RT = R1 + R2 + R3.
5. What is the function of the ozone layer in Earth's atmosphere?
The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs and blocks most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching Earth's surface.
6. Select the word that is the opposite of "verbose."
The word "verbose" means using or containing more words than are needed, describing someone who is long-winded or excessively talkative. Therefore, the opposite of "verbose" is "brief," which means short in duration or concise in expression. "Brief" directly contrasts with the idea of using too many words.
