    • Hair growth around pubic area and face

    • Wet dreams

    • Their hips will widen and the body will get curvier

    • They will start growing in height and muscles

    Correct Answer
    A. Their hips will widen and the body will get curvier
    Explanation
    During puberty, boys experience various physical changes. Hair growth around the pubic area and face is a physical change that occurs during puberty. Wet dreams, which are involuntary ejaculations during sleep, are also a normal part of male development. Boys will start growing in height and muscles as they go through puberty. However, their hips will not widen, and their bodies will not become curvier. This is because the widening of hips and curvier body shape are physical changes that typically occur in girls during puberty.

    Explanation

    It takes 10 hours for a sperm to fertilize an egg.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because it generally takes around 10 hours for a sperm to fertilize an egg. After ejaculation, the sperm travels through the female reproductive system and reaches the fallopian tubes where the egg is released. Once the sperm reaches the egg, it undergoes a process called capacitation, which takes about 6-8 hours. After capacitation, the sperm can penetrate the egg and fertilization occurs. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Which of these is NOT a way of coping with periods?

    • Hot water bottle placed on the abdomen

    • Wearing tampons instead of pads

    • Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water

    • Spending some time in bed

    Correct Answer
    A. Wearing tampons instead of pads
    Explanation
    Wearing tampons instead of pads is not a way of coping with periods. While tampons are a common menstrual product, they do not directly address the discomfort or pain associated with periods. Coping with periods typically involves methods such as using hot water bottles to alleviate cramps, staying hydrated to reduce bloating, and resting in bed to relieve fatigue.

  • 8. 

    Which phase of the menstruation cycle comes first?

    • Luteal phase

    • Follicular phase

    • Ovulatory phase

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Follicular phase
    Explanation
    The follicular phase is the first phase of the menstrual cycle. During this phase, the follicles in the ovaries start to develop and mature. The follicles produce estrogen, which stimulates the thickening of the uterine lining. This phase ends with ovulation, when one follicle releases an egg. The luteal phase comes after ovulation, and the ovulatory phase refers specifically to the day of ovulation. Therefore, the correct answer is the follicular phase.

    • Mood swings and energy changes

    • Growing in height

    • Irresponsibility

    • Independence

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Mood swings and energy changes
    A. Independence
    Explanation
    During adolescence, individuals undergo various social and emotional changes. Mood swings and energy changes are common during this period due to hormonal fluctuations and the transition from childhood to adulthood. Independence is also a significant change as adolescents strive to establish their identity and become more self-reliant. Growing in height, on the other hand, is a physical change rather than a social or emotional one. Irresponsibility is not mentioned as a social or emotional change for adolescents.
