(C) Premolars
- D.
Both (A) and (B)
Correct Answer
C. (C) PremolarsExplanation
Premolars function in the same way as the object shown in the picture. The picture is not provided, but premolars are the teeth located between the canines and molars. They have a flat surface with cusps that are used for grinding and chewing food. Incisors are located at the front of the mouth and are used for biting and cutting, while canines are pointed teeth used for tearing and gripping. Therefore, premolars are the teeth that have a similar function to the object shown in the picture.Rate this question:

Which of the following exert pressure?
- A.
Solids
- B.
Liquids
- C.
Gases
- D.
All of these
Correct Answer
D. All of theseExplanation
Solids, liquids, and gases all exert pressure. In solids, the particles are closely packed together, and they exert pressure on each other. In liquids, the particles are not as closely packed as in solids, but they still exert pressure on the walls of the container they are in. In gases, the particles are far apart and move freely, exerting pressure in all directions. Therefore, all three states of matter exert pressure.Rate this question:
