03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The endocrine system, through the hormones it releases. | Hormones travel in the blood, so their effects reach the whole body. |
| 2 | Keep screenshots as evidence and tell a parent or teacher. | Cyberbullying needs a record; do not deal with it alone. |
| 3 | Everyone has the right to refuse physical contact that makes them uneasy. | Refuse at once and tell a trusted adult. |
| 4 | 2920 hours, about 121.7 days. | 8 times 365 is 2920, and that over 24 is 121.7 days. |
| 5 | The index is 20.0. | 45 divided by 1.5 squared is 20.0. |
| 6 | About 15.0 per cent. | 300 over 2000 times 100 is 15.0. |
| 7 | About 12.9 per cent. | 158 minus 140 is 18, and 18 over 140 times 100 is about 12.9. |
| 8 | 364 hours. | 7 times 52 is 364 hours. |
| 9 | Yes, 9 lies between 8 and 10. | Compare the three numbers: 9 is not below 8 and not above 10. |
| 10 | No. Growing bodies need balanced nutrition for height and development. | Crash dieting harms growth, concentration and mood. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
Paper four clears the conductor, insulator and battery direction misconceptions.Tutor Registration →
