    The distance from the school to the church is 20 meters.

    • Inferring

    • Predicting

    • Interpreting

    • Measuring

    Correct Answer
    A. Measuring
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Measuring" because measuring is the process of determining the distance between two points, which is exactly what is being described in the statement. The statement explicitly states that the distance from the school to the church is 20 meters, indicating that a measurement was taken to determine this distance. Therefore, "Measuring" is the most appropriate explanation for the given correct answer.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Publishing refers to the process of making information, such as articles, books, or other content, available to the public. It involves various steps, including editing, formatting, and distribution. Therefore, it is correct to say that publishing is done after a conclusion is reached, as the content needs to be finalized and prepared for public consumption before it can be published.

    There are so many students in the canteen.

    • Observing

    • Experimenting

    • Inferring

    • Predicting

    Correct Answer
    A. Observing
    Explanation
    Observing is the correct answer because the statement "There are so many students in the canteen" suggests that the person is simply looking and taking note of the number of students present in the canteen. This does not involve any experimentation, inference, or prediction.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Experiment is an educated guess.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    An experiment is not an educated guess. An experiment is a scientific method used to test a hypothesis or investigate a specific phenomenon. It involves a systematic process of gathering data, analyzing it, and drawing conclusions. An educated guess, on the other hand, refers to a hypothesis or prediction made based on prior knowledge or experience. Therefore, the statement that an experiment is an educated guess is false.

    • Observing

    • Hypothesizing

    • Comparing

    • Interpreting

    Correct Answer
    A. Comparing
    Explanation
    Comparing is the science process skill used to make the statement "Philippines has more natural resources than China." This skill involves examining and identifying similarities and differences between two or more objects, events, or situations. In this case, the statement compares the natural resources of the Philippines and China, indicating that the Philippines has a greater abundance of natural resources compared to China.

    A. Predicting
    Explanation
    The given statement suggests that there will be a change in the class president for the upcoming school year. This implies that someone new will take on the role of class president, indicating a prediction of future events. Therefore, the most appropriate term to describe this process is "predicting."

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Hypothesis is the analysis of the result of the experiment.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is incorrect. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation or prediction based on limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation or experimentation. It is not the analysis of the result of the experiment, but rather a tentative explanation that can be tested and supported or rejected through experimentation.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The purpose of the study is called the problem.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The purpose of a study is indeed referred to as the problem. In research, the problem statement identifies the issue or gap in knowledge that the study aims to address. It sets the direction and focus for the study, guiding the research questions, objectives, and methodology. Therefore, it is correct to say that the purpose of the study is called the problem.
