Explanation

(a) The circumstances that led to Jesus' declaration of Himself as the "Bread of Life" are: After feeding the 5000 men, Jesus took a boat and went to the other side of the sea. When the people came to Him, they asked him when he came there. Jesus knew that they were seeking Him, not because of his teachings, signs and wonders but because of food. He asked them not to labour for the ordinary bread that gives temporary satisfaction. That they should instead, labour for the bread that endures to eternal life. The crowd demanded to know what to do as a proof that they were doing the work of God. Jesus asked them to believe in Him as God-sent. For this they demanded signs to prove His messiahship, which would make them believe. Jesus then said, Moses gave their fathers manna from heaven and they believed in Him as God-sent. He explained that it was not Moses who gave their fathers manna from heaven but God Himself. He then assured that God can give them the bread that endures to eternal life. The people requested to be given the life-giving bread always, and Jesus then told them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger and he who believes in me shall never thirst."

(b) The moral lessons in this story are that

(i) Christians should not base their belief only on signs.

(ii) Their beliefs should not be based on material possessions.

(iii) They should depend on Jesus as their source of life.

(iv) Being physically weak or hungry does not affect spiritual strength.

(v) Man should not live by bread alone but by the word Df God.

(vi) There is need to be cautious in giving people title because of what they offer.

Correct Answer: B. fragile

Correct Answer: B. 1.25Hz

Explanation

10 complete oscillations = 8.0s

1 complete oscillation (period) = \(\frac{8}{10}\)s

Frequency = \(\frac{1}{period}\) = \(\frac{1}{0.8} = 1.25Hz\)

Correct Answer: D. to allow adequate time for exchange of materials

Correct Answer: B. 19.0

Explanation

Lower quartile,

Q₁ = \(\frac{1}{4}\)Nth term

= \(\frac{1}{4}\) x 600th term

= 150th term

= 15.5 + 3 + 0.5

= 19

Correct Answer: D. Absolute commitment

Explanation

The statement No one who puts his hand on the plough and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God emphasizes the need for absolute commitment from a true disciple. It conveys the idea that once a person decides to follow Jesus, they should remain focused and committed to the path of discipleship without turning back or being distracted.

Correct Answer: D. 5

Explanation

\(P = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 4 \\ 2 & x \end{pmatrix}; Q = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ -2 & 4 \end{pmatrix}; R = \begin{pmatrix} -5 & 25 \\ -8 & 26 \end{pmatrix}\)

PQ = \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 & 4 \\ 2 & x \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ -2 & 4 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -5 & 25 \\ 2 - 2x & 6 + 4x \end{pmatrix} = R\)

\(\implies 2 - 2x = -8; -2x = -8 - 2 = -10\)

\(6 + 4x = 26 \implies 4x = 26 - 6 = 20\)

\(\implies x = 5\)
