Got it!
You don't want direct questions like "What is the unit of force?" — you want
them a bit contextual or situational, where students need to think more,
right?
I'll revise and upgrade the 18 questions into scenarios, short problems,
and conceptual situations — still categorized into Easy, Average, and
Difficult — and also provide the answer key at the end!
