ANALYSIS

The question about the water in the cup requires students to analyze the
situation by applying their understanding of the forces and movement
involved when a vehicle undergoes sudden braking. It goes beyond simple
recall or comprehension and requires reasoning based on knowledge of
physics and inertia.
In this scenario, since the bus is moving in a straight line and Ray slams on
the brakes, the water in the cup will tend to continue moving forward due
to its inertia. The cup itself will also experience a backward force,
potentially causing the water to spill over the side of the cup that is facing
the rear of the bus (side 2).

So, as the bus comes to a sudden stop, the water will spill over side 2,
which is the side facing the driving direction of the bus. This is because the
inertia of the water causes it to resist the sudden deceleration and continue
moving forward within the cup.
Based on the hazard map shown, which places are at high risk
of volcanic eruption?

III. Camiguin
IV. Sulu

A. I and II
B. I, II, and III
C. I, III, and IV
D. I, II, III, and IV
Evaluating
Making judgments about the level of risk for volcanic
eruption in specific locations based on the hazard
map.
Based on the table above, what effects can trigger or speed up landslides?
A. They produce soil deposition to increase foundation.
B. They weakened the soil because of the lack of plants.
C. They damage the weathered materials which results in slope stability.
D. They cause land areas to be compacted due to the vibrations from the blast.
The correct answer is B. "They weakened the soil because of the lack of plants" because it
accurately reflects the information provided in the table about the effect of deforestation
on landslides. Let's break it down:

•Deforestation: Cutting down trees and other vegetation can lead to soil erosion.
•Effect: Soil erosion weakens slopes, making them more susceptible to landslides.

Option B succinctly captures this cause-and-effect relationship by stating that the soil is
weakened due to the lack of plants resulting from deforestation. It aligns with the
information presented in the table, demonstrating an understanding of the consequences of
specific human activities on landslide occurrence.
 From the image shown, which municipalities in Bulacan may
experience high flooding?

This type of question falls under the category of "analysis" within Bloom's
Taxonomy. Here's why:

Analyzing Information: The question requires students to analyze the information

presented in the image (presumably a map or visual representation of flood-prone
areas) to determine which municipalities in Bulacan may experience high
flooding.

Identifying Patterns and Relationships: Students need to identify patterns and

relationships between the visual information and the potential for high flooding in
different municipalities.

Applying Knowledge: This question goes beyond simple recall or comprehension.

Students must apply their knowledge of geographical features, topography, and
possibly historical flood data to make an informed analysis.
