6.

The function of the crankshaft in an internal combustion engine is to:

a)

convert linear motion to rotational motion

b)

control the fuel injection

c)

regulate the engine temperature

d)

manage the exhaust system

7.

The role of the timing belt or chain in an engine is to:

supply fuel to the engine

b)

synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft

c)

cool the engine

d)

lubricate engine parts

8.

Explain the difference between a turbocharged and a naturally aspirated engine.

a)

A turbocharged engine uses a turbine to force more air into the combustion chamber, while a naturally aspirated engine relies on atmospheric pressure.

b)

A naturally aspirated engine uses a turbine to force more air into the combustion chamber, while a turbocharged engine relies on atmospheric pressure.

c)

Both engines use a turbine to force more air into the combustion chamber.

d)

Neither engine uses a turbine to force more air into the combustion chamber.

9.

d)

Clogged air filter

10.

The cooling system in an engine works by:

a)

circulating coolant through the engine to absorb heat and dissipate it through the radiator

b)

using fans to blow air directly onto the engine to cool it down

c)

employing a chemical reaction to lower the engine's temperature

d)

utilizing ice packs placed around the engine

11.

A supercharger differs from a turbocharger in that it:

a)

is powered by the engine's crankshaft

b)

uses exhaust gases to spin a turbine

c)

increases fuel efficiency

d)

reduces engine noise

12.

The function of the throttle body in an engine is to:

a)

control the flow of coolant

b)

regulate the air intake
