| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |

| 3. | actin and myosin filaments do not shorten but rather slide pass each other |
| 4. | when myofilaments slide pass each other, myosin filaments shorten while actin filaments do not shorten |
