    The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are the answers with explanations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. B. Inscribed angle<\/strong>
      An inscribed angle<\/strong> is an angle whose vertex is on a circle, and whose sides contain chords of the circle. This angle is formed by two chords that share a common endpoint, with the vertex located on the circle itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. A. Chord<\/strong>
      A chord<\/strong> is a segment that joins any two points on the circle. It does not necessarily pass through the center of the circle, unlike the diameter. The diameter is a specific chord that passes through the center of the circle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. A. 360<\/strong>
      The sum of the measures of the central angles of a circle, with no common interior points, is 360\u00b0<\/strong>. This is because the central angles of a circle represent a complete rotation around the center of the circle, and a full rotation is always 360 degrees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. B. Right<\/strong>
      If an inscribed angle<\/strong> intercepts a semicircle (meaning the angle subtended by a diameter), the angle will be a right angle (90\u00b0)<\/strong>. This is a well-known property of circles, sometimes referred to as Thales’ Theorem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. B. Minor arc<\/strong>
      A minor arc<\/strong> is an arc of a circle that measures less than a semicircle (less than 180\u00b0). The major arc<\/strong>, in contrast, is the larger arc, and it measures more than 180\u00b0. The minor arc is the shorter of the two.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
