    True or false? Power can be maintained for a long period of time.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Power cannot be maintained for a long period of time because power dynamics are constantly changing and evolving. People and institutions in positions of power are subject to various factors such as public opinion, competition, and internal conflicts, which can lead to a loss of power. Additionally, power can be challenged and overthrown by social movements, revolutions, or changes in political systems. Therefore, power is not a static and enduring state, but rather a dynamic and fragile concept.

    Agility is a combination of which two components 

    • Flexibility

    • Power

    • Strength

    • Speed

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Flexibility
    A. Speed
    Explanation
    Agility is the ability to move quickly and easily. Flexibility is the range of motion in joints and muscles, allowing for fluid movement. Speed is the ability to move rapidly. By combining flexibility and speed, an individual can quickly change direction and move efficiently, thus demonstrating agility. Power and strength, although important for physical performance, do not directly contribute to agility as they focus more on force generation and muscle capacity. Therefore, flexibility and speed are the two components that make up agility.

    Health is not just the absence of disease and infirmity, but rather a state of complete mental, physical, and social wellbeing. This means that being healthy involves not only having a sound body, but also a sound mind and positive social interactions. Mental health refers to our emotional and psychological wellbeing, physical health refers to the condition of our body and its systems, and social health relates to our ability to interact and engage with others in a positive and fulfilling way. Achieving and maintaining good health requires attention to all three aspects of wellbeing.
