1. Before COVID, how long did it usually take to develop a new vaccine?

   1. About 6 months
   2. About 2 weeks
   3. About 25 years
   4. About 10 years or more

2. How long did it take to develop the COVID vaccines?

   1. About one month
   2. About one year
   3. About fifteen years
   4. About five years

3. Why was AI helpful for making vaccines faster?

   1. AI could automatically give shots to people
   2. AI could predict which vaccines might work without testing every single one slowly
   3. AI could invent the virus itself
   4. AI could replace doctors in hospitals

4. What did AI help predict about the virus?

   1. What the virus tastes like
   2. How many people would get sick
   3. Which countries would have the most cases
   4. Which parts of the virus to target with a vaccine

5. What did AI help design for testing?

   1. New types of face masks
   2. Computer games for sick kids
   3. Hospital waiting rooms
   4. Different versions of vaccines to test

6. Besides making vaccines, what else did AI help with during the pandemic?

   1. Designing new clothing styles
   2. Teaching dogs to do tricks
   3. Figuring out how to make vaccines quickly in large amounts
   4. Writing songs about viruses

7. Why was it important for AI to help predict virus variants?

   1. So people would stop getting sick entirely
   2. So vaccines could be updated to protect against new versions of the virus
   3. So the virus would stop changing
   4. So doctors would know which patients to visit first

8. What is a variant of a virus?

   1. A type of medicine
   2. A slightly changed version of the original virus
   3. A completely different disease
   4. A kind of vaccine

9. When AI helps with health matters like making vaccines, what can happen?

   1. It can replace all doctors
   2. It can cause new diseases
   3. It can save lives
   4. It can make people sicker

10. The lesson describes the COVID vaccine work as real-world impact, not science fiction. What does this mean?

    1. It was a dream people had
    2. It only existed in video games
    3. It was made up for a movie
    4. It really happened and helped people, not just imagined ideas

11. What is a vaccine supposed to do?

    1. Change someone's hair color
    2. Replace food in someone's diet
    3. Make people feel sleepy
    4. Teach the body how to fight a specific disease

12. Why would testing every possible vaccine version slowly be a problem during a pandemic?

    1. Scientists would get too tired
    2. Computers would break
    3. People are getting sick and dying while you wait, so speed matters
    4. It would cost less money

13. The lesson says the COVID vaccine story is an example of AI's 'real impact.' What makes something have real impact?

    1. It is tested in laboratories but never used
    2. It actually changes things in the world and helps people
    3. It is only discussed in school
    4. It is written about in fiction books

14. How did the COVID vaccine development time compare to the normal vaccine development time?

    1. It was about the same
    2. It was slower than normal
    3. It took about twice as long
    4. It was much faster than normal

15. What does it mean to 'target' a part of the virus?

    1. To hide from the virus
    2. To physically point at the virus with a finger
    3. To destroy the whole virus at once
    4. To aim the vaccine at a specific part of the virus to teach the body to fight it
