Sample Question 1
The orbit of Venus is such that its angular distance from the Sun is never more than 47 degrees. As a consequence:

It can only be seen during full daylight.

It is generally visible during the 2 to 3 hours just after sunset or just before sunrise.

It is generally visible during the 1 to 2 hours just after sunset or just before sunrise.

It can only be seen during total solar eclipses.

None of the above

Sample Question 2
The rotation axis of Venus is almost perfectly at right angles to the plane of its orbit. As a consequence Venus' seasons:

Are similar to seasons on Earth.

Are more extreme than seasons on Earth.

Are almost non-existent (much less seasonal differences than on Earth).

None of the above

Sample Question 3
Because the rotation of Venus is "retrograde":

Like the Moon, Venus shows only one "face" to the Earth.

Like Mercury, Venus shows only one "face" to the Sun.

It turns in the opposite direction (on its axis) in comparison to the rotation of the Earth (on its axis).
