  Dentist

  Incisors

Explanation
Canines, molars, and incisors are all types of teeth. Canines are the pointed teeth located on either side of the front teeth, used for tearing and gripping food. Molars are the flat teeth at the back of the mouth, responsible for grinding and chewing food. Incisors are the sharp, thin teeth at the front of the mouth, used for cutting and biting food. Dentist, on the other hand, is not a type of tooth but a profession related to dental care and treatment.

- A.
  
  Brushing your teeth twice a day
- B.
  
  Visiting the dentist
- C.
  
  Eating TOO many sugary foods
- D.
  
  None of these
Correct Answer
C. Eating TOO many sugary foods

Explanation
Eating too many sugary foods can cause tooth decay because the bacteria in our mouth feed on the sugars from the food we eat and produce acids. These acids can erode the enamel, which is the protective layer of our teeth, leading to cavities and tooth decay. Brushing your teeth twice a day and visiting the dentist are actually good practices to maintain oral hygiene and prevent tooth decay. Therefore, the correct answer is eating too many sugary foods.

Which of these is magnetic?
- A.
  
  A wooden spoon
- B.
  
  A metal spoon
- C.
  
  Socks
- D.
  
  None of these
Correct Answer
B. A metal spoon

Explanation
A metal spoon is magnetic because it is made of a ferromagnetic material, such as iron or steel, which contains magnetic properties. These materials have unpaired electrons that align themselves in a way that creates a magnetic field. This allows the metal spoon to be attracted to magnets and exhibit magnetic properties. On the other hand, a wooden spoon and socks do not contain ferromagnetic materials, so they are not magnetic.
