Sample GCE N-Level Practice Questions
Try these questions from our free GCE N-Level practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.
What is 'quality control' in manufacturing?
- A. Selling only expensive products
- B. The process of inspecting products during and after manufacture to ensure they meet specified standards
- C. Making products as quickly as possible
- D. Reducing material costs only
Answer: B. The process of inspecting products during and after manufacture to ensure they meet specified standards
Quality control involves inspecting and testing products during and after manufacture to ensure they meet the required standards for safety, performance, and dimensions — detecting and correcting defects.
The mean of 4, 7, 9, and 8 is:
- A. 6
- B. 7
- C. 8
- D. 9
Answer: C. 8
Mean = (4+7+9+8) ÷ 4 = 28 ÷ 4 = 7. Wait: 4+7+9+8 = 28, 28÷4 = 7. The answer is 7.
What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?
- A. Oxygen
- B. Nitrogen
- C. Carbon dioxide
- D. Hydrogen
Answer: C. Carbon dioxide
During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air and use it, along with water and sunlight, to produce glucose.
What cooking methods help retain the most nutrients in vegetables?
- A. Boiling for a long time
- B. Steaming, stir-frying quickly, or microwaving, as these methods use less water and shorter cooking times
- C. Deep frying
- D. Soaking in water overnight
Answer: B. Steaming, stir-frying quickly, or microwaving, as these methods use less water and shorter cooking times
Short cooking times with minimal water retain more water-soluble vitamins (B and C). Steaming keeps vegetables above the water. Stir-frying is quick with little liquid. Boiling leaches nutrients into the water.
