Test II. IDENTIFICATION

Directions: Read each text and identify if it is an example of an expanded definition or not. Write YES if it
is an example of an expanded definition, and NO if not.

1. An electronic design engineer is an electrical engineer or electronic and communication engineer who
designs electronic circuits and systems. The design may be original, a development, or modification of
existing ones. Applications are biomedical, communications, industrial control, analytical instruments,
image processing, consumer electronics, and automation. By discipline, they are digital, analog, micro-
processor based or very large-scale integrated circuits (VLSIC) (Gonzales, et al., 2017).

2. Formal language is the language used when writing for professional or academic purposes like
university assignments (uts.edu.au, n.d.).
3. Speed is a concept that marks our day. Sluggishness is out. Speed is demanded by industry which is
constantly on the look–out for new inventions. Sluggishness is penalized, especially in industries where
compensation depends upon output. Speed is the attractive come-on for short term courses in cooking,
computerizing, sewing, diving, learning a new language, and others. The slower long-term courses are
not so appealing. Instant coffee is usually preferred to coffee that needs to be boiled. Yes, speed
is the word of the day (Gorgon, et al., 2010)?

4. COVID-19 is a potentially severe, primarily respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus and

characterized by fever, coughing, and shortness of breath (dictionary.com, 2021).

5. Pandemic is an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area (such as multiple
countries or continents) and typically affects a significant proportion of the population: a pandemic
outbreak of a disease (Merriam-Webster, 2021).

6. A crystal is any solid material in which the component atoms are arranged in a definite pattern and
whose surface regularity reflects its internal symmetry. In a crystal, all of the atoms (or ions) are
arranged in a regular grid pattern. For example, in the case of table salt (NaCl), the crystals are made up
of cubes of sodium (Na) ions and chlorine (Cl) ions. Each sodium ion is surrounded by six chlorine ions.
Each chlorine ion is surrounded by six sodium ions. It's very repetitive, which is exactly what makes it a
crystal (Amsen, 2019 and Mahan, 2021).

7. Speed is a concept that marks our day. Sluggishness is out. Speed is demanded by industry which is
constantly on look-out for new inventions. Sluggishness is penalized, especially in industries where
compensation depends upon output (Gorgon, et al., 2010).

8. The process of speeding up in a vehicle begins with the setting of the gear level to the first gear. This
moves the vehicle from a stationary to a slow speed of about less than ten kilometers per hour (kph).
Gradually you shift the gear to the next, pressing the accelerator pedal at the same time to attain a
speed between 10-30 kph. You pick up more speed by shifting gears to the next higher levels at speed
beyond 30 kph. To do this, however along with the shift or fourth gear, ever-increasing pressure must be
exerted on the accelerator. The only time you lift your foot from the accelerator is when you shift gears,
so that you can step on the clutch pedal simultaneously with the shifting. After releasing the clutch
pedal, you immediately step on the accelerator pedal while picking up speed. Maximum speed is
attained once you shift to the fourth, or in the case of some vehicles, the fifth gear, at which you travel at
speeds of 80 kph or above (Gorgon, et al., 2010).

9. An electronic design engineer is an electrical engineer or electronic and communication engineer who
designs electronic circuits and systems. The design may be original, a development, or modification of
existing ones(VLSIC) (Gonzales, et al., 2017).

10. Speed is the attractive come-on for short-term courses in cooking, computerizing, sewing, diving,
learning a new language, and others. The slower long-term courses are not so appealing. Instant coffee
is usually preferred to coffee that needs to be boiled. Yes, speed is the word of the day

Test III. TRUE OR FALSE

Direction: Read the following statements. Write TRUE if the statement is true and FALSE if otherwise.

1. Concept is a term that abstractly describes and names an object, a phenomenon, or an idea.
2. Research is collecting data and information, learning and finding new things. It is also an advanced
knowledge which follows a systematic process of collecting and analyzing information in order to
understand more the phenomena under study.
3. Theory is an organized body of concepts and principles intended to explain a particular
phenomenon.
4. Qualitative method is a method that focuses on numbers, objective hard data.
5. Quantitative method uses words instead of numbers to display data. It focuses on feelings not
numerical data.
6. Variables are any quality of a person, group subject, event, condition or situation that varies or takes
on different values.
7. Sampling is a logical supposition, a reasonable guess, and educated conjecture.
8. Hypothesis it is the process of selecting participants who are representatives of a larger population –
gain an understanding of a larger population.
9. A successful research paper does not fulfill the objective of increasing readers' knowledge of a given
subject.
10. Research accurately, concisely, and comprehensively relays unbiased information on that subject.
