medical complications, or suicide.
People with eating disorders are
vulnerable to suicidal tendencies
due to clinical depression and
anxiety.

People that are affected by

bulimia nervosa overeat and
subsequently expel the surplus
calories from their bodies by
either vomiting, abusing laxatives
or diuretics, taking enemas, or
indulging in excessive exercise.
Some people resort to using all
these methods to purge. People
with bulimia who use drugs to
induce vomiting, bowel
movements, or urination may be
at substantial risk, as this practice
can lead to heart failure. Extreme
dieting between episodes of
bingeing and purging is a
prevalent behavior among
individuals with bulimia nervosa.

Because many individuals

with bulimia binge and purge in
secret and maintain normal or
above normal body weight, they
can often successfully hide their
problem for years. But bulimia
nervosa patients—even those of
normal weight—can severely
damage their bodies by frequent

the ability of the subject is can’t.

3. B Explanation: “Going to” and

“will” are both used to express the
future (in this case, tomorrow). But,
the difference is that going to is
used to express a possibility while
will is used to express a certainty.
Since the given sentence is
expressing possibility, the
appropriate answer is “going to”.

4. C. Explanation: The order of

adjectives before a noun (dress)
is opinion/fact, size, shape, age,
color/origin/material/purpose. In
this case, it is beautiful (opinion),
long (size), black (color).

5. D. Explanation: Both will and shall

are used with all verbs to form the
future tense. The rule of future
tense says that shall is used in the

 and will is used in all other
persons (you, they, she/he).

6. D. Explanation: Might have is

used when expressing a less
probability or guessing
about a past.

7. C. Explanation: The present

perfect progressive

describe an event that
started in the past but is still
happening in the present. Its
form is : has or have + been
+ verbing (present participle).

8. A. Explanation: 'Would have'

is generally used in
sentences that mean one
wished for something to
happen that didn't.

9. Explanation: Although both

can refer to a different or
backup option, typically
alternating refers to an action
of rotating or taking turns
while alternative usually
refers to another option or
choice (which can be seen in
this case). On the other
hand, alteration is used to
change something.

11. A. Explanation: Fahrenheit (feh-
ruhn-hite) denotes the scale of
temperature on which water
freezes at 32° and boils at 212°
under standard conditions. It was
named after the physicist Daniel
Gabriel Fahrenheit.

12. D. Explanation: For the

preposition of place, “in” is for
towns, cities and countries. For
the preposition of time, “at” is for
a very specific time, that can be
clock time, hours and parts of the
day. While “on” is for holidays,
dates, and days.

13.B. Explanation: Who functions as

a subject, while whom functions as
an object. Who is used when the
word is performing the action.
Whom is used when it is receiving
the action. In this case, Stephen is
receiving the action from the
subject “I” (first person), so the
appropriate answer is whom.

14. B. Explanation: Worcestershire

West Midlands of England.
15. D. Explanation: ‘Only’ is used in
front of a noun (ten
kilometers).'Has' is used in

syllable adjectives not ending in -

adjectives, use the form “more +

31.D. Explanation: A present

participle is a word derived from a
verb that can be used as an
adjective and to form the
continuous verb tenses (which

(study + ing). The main verb to have
is one of the core verbs of the
English language, and is
principally used to express
possession, ownership or

make imperative sentences, and
also to make the infinitive by adding
“to” in front of it.

former is difference of B relative to A

To find Adjacent, we can use d = sqrt/[(240-0)^2 + (160-0)^2]

Adjacent = sqrt/3^2 - = 80sqrt/(13)

3. C. Explanation: Raul, because

the slope of his position-time
graph is steeper, which means
he travelled farther in a given
period of time.

V = position/time = (final
position - initial position)/ (final
time - initial time).
- The velocity of a moving object
is the slope of the position-time
graph of its motion.

Since Raul‘s motion graph has a

greater slope, then Raul is
moving with greater velocity
than
Kin. (from Syensiya-bilidad 1)

6. A.
Explanation:
Topic: Elastic Collision
Since the balls move at
the same speed with the
same weight but with
opposing direction, using
Newton's 3rd Law of
Motion and Conservation
of Momentum, the balls
will collide and ball 1 will
travel to point A and ball 2
will travel to point C.

7. B.
Explanation:
To answer the problem, we
should examine the
statements given.

I. Operating switch A
can light the lamp.
-If we consider the
meaning of 'operating' as
changing the switch's state
(from ON to OFF or vice
versa/ from one pole to
another pole), only
operating switch A will
gives us a 'closed' circuit,
which is CORRECT.

II. Operating switch B

- If we operate the switch B

8. B.
Explanation:
There are two common terms in
electricity that calls confusion:
Open and Short.

Open - there are no

electricity completely looping a
circuit (there is a gap).
Synonymous to roads, which if
there is a gap in a road, the
route is not passable. It also
means the resistance is at
infinity and its current is zero,
ideally.

Shorted - there are surge of

electricity looping a circuit. Can
be linked to the idea of road
widening: If there is no limiting
parameters to conduct road
widening, the possibility of
widening a road is huge, thus at
its result more vehicles can
access the road.
Shorted also means the current
will at infinity or at its maximum,
and the resistance will be at zero
(ideally) or less than the former
resistance value.

(Illustration A), the exerted
force is equal to the weight
of the load. On the other
hand, in a movable pulley
(Illustration B), the exerted
force is equal to half the
weight of the load.

12.A. Explanation: Pulley A

requires a force of 5 N,
which is half the weight of
the load. On the other
hand, pulley B requires 10
N, which is equal to the
weight of the load.

13.A. Explanation: There are

six sections of rope

Therefore, we will divide
300 kg by 6, which is equal
to 50 kg.

both rotate at the same speed. In 10 ft = 350 lbs ft / 10 ft = 35 lbs.
conclusion, wheel Y turns
clockwise at a speed of 10 rpm.

19.B. Explanation: The distance of

the springs in series is
compressed by half into parallel.
In conclusion, the springs in
parallel have a total distance of 5
cm.

20.D. Explanation: If a force of 10

kg compresses two springs in
parallel 10 cm, then each spring
requires 5 kg. In conclusion,
three springs can be compressed
in parallel 10 cm with a force of
15 kg.

21.B. Explanation: To find the

distance that the springs in
series are compressed, we have
to multiply the distance in
parallel by the number of
springs. In conclusion, the total
distance is 10 cm • 2 = 20 cm.

22.C. Explanation: To find the

force, we will use the formula f
= (w • d1) / d2, where f = force;
w = weight; d1 = distance from
fulcrum to weight; d2 =
distance from fulcrum to the
point where force is applied.

f = (80 lbs • 9 ft) / 12 ft = 60 lbs

In conclusion, a force of 60 lbs is

required to lift the weight.

23.C. Explanation: In this problem,

we will use the formula f = [(w1 •
d1) + (w1a • d1a)] / d2, where f
= force; w1
= weight 1; d1 = distance from
fulcrum to weight 1; w1a =
weight 2; d1a = distance from
fulcrum to weight 2.

To find power, we should

use ohms law:
V=IR and P=IV
