Section B - True and False (10 marks)
Read each of the ten statements. If the statement is true, place ‘T’ in the space. If it is
false, place an ‘F’ in the space and then rewrite the statement to make it true. Each
question is worth one mark. An example has been given to help you get started.
EXAMPLE:
Copernicus was a famous mathematician during the
Renaissance whose works inspired other mathematicians the world over.
<F This statement is false because Copernicus was an astronomer
whose work inspired other astronomers the world over.>
1.Kepler discovered the telescope, which he used to find more information
about sunspots, our moon’s rough surface, the Milky Way, and Jupiter’s
four moons.
<F This statement is false because it was Galileo, not Kepler,
who discovered the telescope, which he used to find more
information about sunspots, our moon’s rough surface, the
Milky Way, and Jupiter’s four moons.>
