Multiple Choice: Choose the correct answer.
1. Which of the following statement is TRUE about
the Bigbang Theory?
a. The Big Bang event is a physical
theory that describes how the universe
expanded from an initial state of high
density and temperature.
b. Hubble's discovery in the 1920s of a
relationship between a galaxy's distance
from Earth and its speed.
c. The most accepted theory about the
universe.
d. States that the universe is always
expanding but maintaining a constant
average density.
2. In this era all four known forces unified.
a. Planck Era
b. GUT Era
c. Electroweak Era
d. Particle Era
3. The four forces separated in this Era and the
three of the four fundamental forces are
combined, but gravity has become distinct.
a. Planck Era
b. GUT Era
c. Electroweak Era
d. Particle Era
4. Which of the following statement is True about
Elements?
a. a particle of matter that uniquely
defines a chemical element.  b. Lithium
b. The smallest particle of a substance that
has all of the physical and chemical
properties of that substance.
c. a substance that cannot be broken
down into a simpler format.
d. anything that takes up space and can be
weighed.
5. Which of the following statement is True about
Particle Era?
a. The four basic forces of nature, 1)
gravity, 2) nuclear strong force, 3)
