Answer: A) Air pollution Explanation: 1. Lichens are plants that grow in exposed places such as rocks or tree bark.   2.  Lichens are widely used as environmental indicators or bio-indicators. They can be used as air pollution indicators, especially of the concentration of sulfur-di-oxide in the atmosphere.     3. They need to be very good at absorbing water and nutrients to grow there.

Answer: C) An Amendment Explanation: A change to the Constitution is called as An Amendment. An Amendment :: An Amendment is ratified after two-thirds of the House and Senate approve of the proposal and send it to the states for a vote. That Convention can propose as many amendments as it deems necessary. Then, three-fourths of the states must affirm the proposed Amendment.

Answer: A) 4320 Explanation: Given Word is PROMISE. Number of letters in the word PROMISE = 7 Number of ways 7 letters can be arranged = 7! ways Number of Vowels in word PROMISE = 3 (O, I, E) Number of ways the vowels can be arranged that 3 Vowels come together = 5! x 3! ways   Now, the number of ways of arrangements so that three vowels should not come together = 7! - (5! x 3!) ways = 5040 - 720 = 4320.

90 D in a R A => 90 degrees in a Right Angle.  This is similar to  26 L of the A = 26 Letters of the Alphabet 12 S of the Z.

Polarity ::  The polarity of a molecule defines its other physical properties such as melting point, boiling point, surface tension, vapor pressure etc... Simply, polarity occurs when the electron distribution in a molecule is asymmetric. This results in a net dipole moment in the molecule. One end of the molecule is charged negative while the other gets a positive charge.   The polarization of a molecule greatly depends on the shape of the molecule. A diatomic molecule like HF mentioned above has no issue of shape. The net dipole moment is only due to the uneven distribution of electrons between the two atoms. However, when there are more than two atoms involved in making a bond, there are many complexities.   The water molecule is of bent shape. Therefore, when the two pair of electrons shared by oxygen with two hydrogen atoms is pulled towards oxygen, the net dipole moment results in the direction of the oxygen atom. There is no other force to cancel out the resultant dipole moment. Hence, the water molecule is highly polar.   Ammonia molecule is of a pyramid shape and the electronegative N atom pulls the electrons towards itself. The three N-H bonds are not in the same plane; hence the dipole moments created do not get canceled out. This makes ammonia a polar molecule.   However, the dipole moments sometimes get canceled due to the shape of the molecules, making the molecule non-polar. Carbon dioxide is such a molecule.

Answer: D) Pressure Explanation: Pressure is Not a form of Energy.   Energy : It is defined as the ability to do work. Energy comes in two basic forms. They are : 1. Potential Energy 2. Kinetic Energy   Potential Energy is any type of stored energy. It can be chemical, nuclear, gravitational, or mechanical. Kinetic Energy is found in movement. An airplane flying or a meteor plummeting each have kinetic energy. Even the tiniest things have kinetic energy, like atoms vibrating when they are hot or when they transmit sound waves. Electricity is the kinetic energy of flowing electrons between atoms.

Answer: C) Arrogant Explanation: Here the given words Careful and Cautious are related in such a way that they are Synonyms of each other. Therefore, Similarly Boastful is synonym to the word Arrogant. Happily and Humble are Antonyms of Boastful and Surprisingly is the word not related to Boastful in any way.   So, Careful is to Cautious as Boastful is to Arrogant.

Answer: B) 2000 Explanation: 5% of 40,000  = 5100 × 40,000 = 5 × 400 = 2,000     Hence, 5% of 40,000 = 2,000.
