Practice question Unit: Family and Society

1. AThe mother keeps doing everything because it is her original role in the family

   Incorrect: leaving everything to one person increases exhaustion and does not solve the problem.

2. BAssigning most of the tasks to the young children instead of the parents

   Incorrect: young children share only age-appropriate tasks and should not carry most of the work.

3. CRelying entirely on a domestic worker without the parents' follow-up

   Incorrect: a domestic worker may ease the load, but without parental follow-up the parents neglect their responsibility.

4. DThe spouses agree to share tasks and child care according to ability ✓ Correct answer

   Correct: agreeing to share tasks by time and ability protects each member's rights and reflects that both parents work.

Practice question Unit: Food and Nutrition

1. A370 kcal ✓ Correct answer

   (50 × 4) + (20 × 4) + (10 × 9) = 200 + 80 + 90 = 370.

2. B280 kcal

   This ignores the fat (4 × 70 only).

3. C420 kcal

   This treats protein as 9 and fat as 4, which is the wrong way round.

4. D80 kcal

   This is just the sum of grams, without multiplying by kcal per gram.

Ask your colleagues

Practice question Unit: Food and Nutrition

1. A1950 kcal ✓ Correct answer

   Ideal weight = 165 − 100 = 65 kg, then 65 × 30 = 1950 kcal per day.

2. B1500 kcal

   This equals 50 × 30, so it is based on a wrong weight; the ideal weight here is 65 kg.

3. C2250 kcal

   This equals 75 × 30, so it is based on a wrong weight; the ideal weight here is 65 kg.

4. D1650 kcal

   This equals 165 × 10, so the height was used instead of the ideal weight.

Practice question Unit: Human Development

1. Aage-graded influences, which happen to most people at about the same age regardless of their era

   Wrong: age-graded influences are things like puberty or starting school, not a crisis tied to a particular generation.

2. Bnon-normative influences, which happen to one particular person at an unexpected time in her life

   Wrong: the crisis hit a whole generation, so it is not an individual unexpected event.

3. Chistory-graded influences, which affect a generation through the events it lived through ✓ Correct answer

   Correct: major historical events such as crises affect the generation that lived through them.

4. Dpurely hereditary influences passed from parents to children through genes

   Wrong: an economic crisis is an environmental and social factor, not a hereditary one.

Practice question Unit: Safety and First Aid

1. AStriking a match to find the leak and then closing the valve

   A flame can ignite the gas that has built up and cause an explosion.

2. BOpening windows, shutting the cylinder valve and leaving, touching no switch ✓ Correct answer

   Ventilating and cutting off the gas lowers its concentration, and avoiding switches prevents a spark that could ignite it.

3. CTurning on the extractor fan to draw the gas out and carrying on cooking

   Switching on an electric fan can create a spark, and continuing to cook keeps a flame nearby.

4. DSwitching off the kitchen light and searching for the leak beside the cylinder

   Pressing a switch can spark, and staying beside the leak risks suffocation.

Practice question Unit: Consumer Awareness

1. AThrowing the appliance away without telling anyone and buying a new one elsewhere

   This loses the consumer's right and leaves the fault unaddressed, so other consumers may be harmed.

2. BNever dealing with the shop again without telling the seller about the fault

   Not telling the seller does not solve the problem or give him a chance to repair or replace.

3. CDemanding compensation verbally from the seller with no document proving the purchase

   Without a document the complaint is weak, and keeping proof of purchase is part of the consumer's responsibility.

4. DPresenting the receipt and complaining to the seller, then the authority ✓ Correct answer

   Keeping proof of purchase and escalating the complaint step by step uses the consumer's right responsibly and leads to a remedy.

Practice question Unit: Clothing and Textiles

1. ALight open-weave pure linen fabric

   Pure linen creases easily and needs frequent ironing, so it is poor for a uniform washed daily.

2. BPure silk fabric with a soft sheen

   Pure silk is delicate and needs gentle washing; it will not survive constant laundering and hard wear.

3. CWarm thick pure wool fabric

   Pure wool can shrink in hot washing and is hard to care for so often.

4. DCotton blended with polyester ✓ Correct answer

   Cotton gives comfort and absorbency while polyester adds durability and crease resistance, so the blend combines both.

Practice question Unit: Housing and Interior Design

1. AStove, then sink, then refrigerator

   It starts with cooking before the ingredients are taken out of storage and washed.

2. BRefrigerator, then sink, then stove ✓ Correct answer

   Correct: food comes out of the refrigerator, is washed and prepared at the sink, and is then cooked on the stove.

3. CSink, then stove, then refrigerator

   It starts with washing before the food is taken out of storage, and makes the refrigerator the last stop.

4. DStove, then refrigerator, then sink

   It starts with cooking and then goes back to storage and preparation, which reverses the work sequence.

Practice question Unit: Personal Care and Grooming

1. ADisinfect the spots with alcohol, then squeeze out the pus

   Squeezing, even after disinfecting, pushes inflammation deeper and may leave scars.

2. BLeave toothpaste on the spots overnight to dry them

   Toothpaste can irritate the skin and there is no evidence it treats acne.

3. CStop squeezing, wash gently and see a doctor ✓ Correct answer

   Squeezing spreads bacteria and worsens marks; gentle washing and medical treatment if it persists is the right approach.

4. DScrub the face hard with a rough sponge to remove spots and crusts

   Hard scrubbing irritates the skin and increases inflammation and oil production.

Ask your colleagues

Practice question Unit: Teaching and Learning

1. ACreative thinking by generating many varied ideas ✓ Correct answer

   Asking for several different ways to save means generating varied ideas, which is creative thinking.

2. BCritical thinking by evaluating one proposal against fixed criteria

   Evaluating against criteria belongs to the comparison stage; this task asks for generating alternatives first.

3. CRecall thinking by restating the definition of a family budget

   Restating a definition does not produce new ways to save.

4. DProcedural thinking by applying one set rule for saving

   Applying one rule gives a single solution, not several ways.
