Solution

The correct statements about beta particles are:

  1. A beta particle is a high-energy electron.
  2. Beta particles are faster than alpha particles.
  3. A sheet of paper would be sufficient to absorb most beta particles.

Beta particles are indeed high-energy electrons that are emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei. They are faster than alpha particles due to their smaller size and lower mass. A sheet of paper, or even a few centimeters of air, would be sufficient to absorb most beta particles, making them less penetrating than gamma rays but more penetrating than alpha particles.
