Answer the following question given this paragraph: It should be noted that just because a process is spontaneous does not mean that it occurs quickly. The rusting of iron is a spontaneous process that takes place over a long period of time. The combustion of gasoline in oxygen (also a spontaneous process) is extremely fast when provided with a spark, but gasoline can be stored in air for quite a while without spontaneously combusting. Thermodynamics predicts the direction in which a reaction will eventually proceed, but it does not tell us anything about the rate at which the reaction occurs. The rate of a reaction depends on many factors, including activation energy, temperature, concentration, and the presence or absence of a catalyst. Chemical kinetics focuses on the pathway between reactants and products, while thermodynamics considers only the difference between the initial and final states. Q: Thermodynamics do not give us any insight into what attribute of spontaneous processes? A:
OPTIONS:
- acceleration
- decrease
- increase
- rate
rate

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What can be worn to protect hands and skin from harm? A:
OPTIONS:
- splints
- masks
- filters
- gloves

Answer: gloves

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Members of class Scaphopoda ("boat feet") are known colloquially as "tusk shells" or "tooth shells," as evident when examining Dentalium, one of the few remaining scaphopod genera (Figure 28.27). Scaphopods are usually buried in sand with the anterior opening exposed to water. These animals bear a single conical shell, which has both ends open. The head is rudimentary and protrudes out of the posterior end of the shell. These animals do not possess eyes, but they have a radula, as well as a foot modified into tentacles with a bulbous end, known as captaculae. Captaculae serve to catch and manipulate prey. Ctenidia are absent in these animals. Q: What type of light sensing organs do scaophopoda have? A:
OPTIONS:
- cilia
- antennae
- setae
- radula
Answer: radula

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Metals such as iron are useful for many purposes because of their unique properties. For example, they can conduct electricity and bend without breaking. However, pure metals may be less useful than mixtures of metals with other elements. For example, adding a little carbon to iron makes it much stronger. This mixture is called steel. Steel is so strong that it can hold up huge bridges, like the one pictured above. Steel is also used to make skyscrapers, cargo ships, cars, and trains. Steel is an example of an alloy. Q: Adding carbon to iron makes what type of metal? A:
OPTIONS:
- ions
- titanium
- plastic
- steel
output: steel

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: When current flows in just one direction, it is called direct current (DC) . The current that flows through a battery-powered flashlight is direct current. Q: When current flows in just one direction, what is it called? A:

OPTIONS:
- mono-current
- reactant current
- alternating current
- direct current

A: direct current

Answer the following question given this paragraph: STIs are diseases caused by pathogens that spread through sexual contact. Abstinence from sexual activity and other risk behaviors is the only completely effective way to prevent the spread of STIs. Q: Stis are diseases caused by what that spread through sexual contact? A:
OPTIONS:
- amoeba
- ecosystems
- parasites
- pathogens
pathogens
