They give the writing an appearance of incompetence that could be lessened by using proper sentence structure.o wr1bWhich of the following sentences would provide the best transition between a paragraph discussing the causes of ozone depletion and one proposing solutions?The driving of cars is one factor that has caused the hole in the ozone.In order to find a solution to the problem, different things could be done.Nobody is sure what is causing ozone depletion, and making a solution difficult.Even if you know what is causing the problem, how will you solve it?If ozone depletion is caused mainly by industrial activity and the widespread use of aerosols, there are some logical remedies to consider.5This is the best choice, because it recaps the causes outlined earlier in the piece and introduces the topic of possible solutions.pwr1aWhich sentences should be removed because they are irrelevant to the topic?2, 8, and 94, 5, 10, and 114, 7, 12, and 134, 5, 15, and 164, 5, 14, and 154Sunblock prevents sunburn, but it is not a cause, effect, or solution to ozone depletion.

The sentences could probably be incorporated somewhere in a revised version of this essay, because they describe a reason the writer likes funnel cakes.twr1aThe placement of this sentence in the essay seems odd.

Which sentences do nothing to promote that argument and should be removed?sentences 6 and 7sentences 4 and 5sentences 5 and 6sentences 7 and 8sentences 1 and 24It is irrelevant that games similar to Donkey Kong were released. One would certainly assume that Donkey Kong was not the only game to rely on hand-eye coordination for success.&x8bwr1cAssuming that the writer has a positive opinion of video games, which of the following is the best thesis statement?Video games have been unjustly criticized for promoting violence. However, some video games may aid in the development of problemr-solving skills and hand-eye coordination.Video games have been called bad by a lot of people. But they can help you get better at doing things.Video games have gotten more violent lately, and sales the worst ones should be restricted.Ive improved at arcade games since I got a video game system at home.Reports that say video games are bad are wrong.

Option 2 is actually false: Genghis Khan died as a result of illness, not battle.Mgss1aWhich of the following statements would a map of the Mongol Empire support?Genghis Khan was a fierce warrior who united the nomadic tribes of Mongolia.Genghis Khan led his professional army on a brutal conquest of Central Asia.After Genghis Khans death, his sons and grandsons conquered more territory.The Mongol Empire was the largest unified land empire in history.The Mongol Empire eventually was divided into four khanates, or kingdoms.5Think about what a map of the empire would show.A map of the empire would show the f~{our khanates plus the size of the empire.

What conclusion can you draw from this?Land and water warm and cool at different times but are both subject to the same conditionssunshine and darkness. Therefore, its logical to conclude that the process of heating and cooling is faster on lan~d than on water.k֒ss3eBased on the diagram, which of the following statements can you assume to be true?Tropical islands have only cool sea breezes.Coastal areas are generally milder than inland areas.Mountain breezes are always warm.Deserts were once large bodies of water.There are no land and sea breezes in the Arctic.2Think about the general effect of a large body of water on land shown in the diagrams. Then apply that information to each statement.Because of the warming and cooling effect of a large body of water, coastal areas generally do not get the extreme temperatures than inland areas get.BlMss4bWhich of the following statements is the best summary of the passage?Europeans were enthusiastic about World War I at first.No one actually won World War I, because trench warfare reduced it to a stalemate.Few anticipated that World War I would turn into a stalemate and drag on for four years.The trenches that soldiers dug in World War I stretched from the English Channel to Switzerland.The U.S. Civil War was actually the model for World War I, although nobody realized it at the time.3Look for the main idea of the passage.The main idea is the wars unexpected length as a result of the stalemate. The best summary explains that idea.bm ss4bWhich of the following best explains why the Europeans were psychologically unprepared for such a long war?They used faulty reasoning in being optimistic about the war.They were mistaken in their prediction of the wars length.They hadnt experienced a war since 1815.They didnt know about the U.S. Civil War.They were easily misled by their leaders.2Read the first paragraph again, paying attention to details.The Europeans lack of preparedness stemmed not from faulty reasoning but from their illusion that the war would soon be over. They hadX evidence from past wars to support their prediction, but it still proved wrong.YnN ,ss4bWhich of the following is a logical conclusion to draw from information in the passage?The Europeans patriotism and enthusiasm caused World War I.Very little happened during World War I, since much of it was spent in stalemate.German and French troops were not good soldiers since they could not dislodge each other from the trenches.The Europeans deserved what they got in World War I for being so unrealistic about modern warfare.The trenches dug by both sides for protection actually produced the stalemate that prolonged World War I.5Eliminate the options that you recognize as faulty reasoning.Only Option (5) is logical. Option (1) claims a false cause; Options (2) and (3) jump to conclusions without sufficient evidence. And Option (4) uses personal beliefs and feelings as proof.5oss4dWhich of the following sentences from the editorial is an overgeneralization?According to the Department of Energy, the price of crude oil accounts for 45 percent of the total price of the gasoline.Distribution and refining costs make up another 26 percent.Taxes account for forty-two cents of each $1.45 gallon of gas.Without taxes, Americans would be paying only about a dollar for each gallon of gas.If this were the case, Americans would not complain about how much they are paying for gas.5A generalization is a statement that is too general or broad to be true.First of all, the author tries to speak for all Americans. Second, it is not possible to know for sure what Americans would or would not complain about.p`'ss4dWhich of the following is a valid conclusion supported by the facts in the editorial?In 2001, American citizens have faced such huge hikes in gas prices that we are actually choking on them.The American governm.@ *C +D -E .F 0H 1J 2K 4L 5M 6N 8O 9R ;T <U >W ?X @Y C] D^ F_ G` Ib Jc Ld Me Og Ph Rj Sk Ul Vm Xo [p ]q `r as cu ew f{ g| i~ j l m o p q s t w y { | ~                                    rting seient would have us believe that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is totally to blame.Statistics show that taxes are almost as much to blame for the high price of gas as OPEC is.The government intentionally sucks our wallets dry by charging taxes on our gas.It is clear that the government wants to punish us for traveling.3Distinguish the factual statement from the opinions.Option (3) is the only one of the five that is a conclusion based on statistics given in the second paragraph. The other statements are opinions that tend to exaggerate the meaning of the statistics.}qss2dAssuming that the statistics in the editorial are correct, if a gallon of gas costs $2.15 and you spent $26.00 to refuel your car, how much of that total amount did you pay in taxes?about $7.50about $12.00about $.62about $18.00about $5.001Multiply the total cost ($26.00) by the percentage of taxes (29%).If you multipGly $26.00 by .29, you get exactly $7.54 that you paid in taxes.rݠss4aBased on the graph and the passage, which of the following was an effect of the Embargo Act of 1807?It encouraged the United States to trade with countries other than Europe.It caused an increase in both imports and exports.It caused a decrease in both imports and exports.It caused an increase in exports and a decrease in imports.It eliminated the U.S. trade deficit.3Notice how the lines on the graph move between the dates the embargo was in effect.Between 1807 and 1809 when the embargo was in effect, the lines on the graph show decreases in both imports and exports, implying a cause-and-effect relationship.sss4aAccording to the graph, how much revenue did U.S. exporters lose in the first year of the embargo?about $20 millionabout $30 millionabout $60 millionabout $90 millionabout $110 million4Subtract the 1808 value of exports from the 1807 value.In 1807 exports were worth about $110 million in value, whereas a year later they had fallen to about $20 million, a loss of about $90 million.tss4aWhich of the following statements shows faulty reasoning?Between 1796 and 1815, the highest point for U.S. trade was in 1807 before the embargo was imposed.Britain went to war with the United States in retaliation for the embargo of 1807.The War of 1812 had a greater impact on trade than the embargo of 1807.The resumption of trade between Britain and the United States after the war increased the trade deficit.Imports generally exceeded exports in the period between 1796 and 1815.2Look for an error in reasoning, such as drawing a conclusion without sufficient evidence.Option (2) is an example of jumping to a conclusion.

Shorter-necked giraffes would often starve.Giraffes with long necks had a better chance to pass on their genes. The genes of long-necked giraffes were passed on to their babies.Shorter-necked giraffes had fewer chances to pass on their genes. Longer necks allowed some giraffes to reach the leaves of tall plants.Long-necked giraffes could reach leaves in tall plants. Long-necked giraffes had more babies.The giraffes long neck is an example of natural selection. Giraffes necks started out short.3Because the long-necked giraffes could feed more, more of them stayed alive to reproduce._~sc1dWhich of the following may be the result of removiSng the hawk from the pyramid?increase in plantsincrease in rabbitsdecrease in plantsincrease in energy available for other organismsno change in pyramid1Without hawks to prey on snakes, their population may increase, reducing the rabbit population.

Which characteristics might cynognathus have had that would lead scientists to this conclusion?May have been warm-blooded, may have given birth to live young.May have been cold blooded, may have laid eggs.Walked on four legs.Lived about 220 million years ago.Appears next to mammals on the chart.1Cynognathus appears where it does on the chart because scientists believe that it may have been warm-blooded and may have given birth to live young. These are two of the distinctive characteristics of mammals.0%sc2dThere is some fossil evidence for the existence of archaeopteryx. Assuming it existed, archaeopteryx was an important link between reptiles and birds. Identify the one characteristic of archaeopteryx that is exclusive to modern-day birds.It had three claws on each wing.It had a long, bony tail.It had a full set of teeth.It laid eggs.It was covered in feathers.5Both reptiles and birds lay eggs. It is the presence of feathers that marks the beginning of the transition from reptile to bird.qsc3dWhich of the following questions cannot be answered by looking at the chart?Do dinosaurs have any descendents that are alive today?Do snakes and lizards have a common ancestor?How long did it take for the early reptiles to evolve into mammals?Were pterosaurs the predecessors to birds?Which common ancestor do dinosaurs, pterosaurs, crocodiles, and birds share?3The chart does not address the length of time any of the evolutionary processes took. At this point, paleontologists suppose that the first mammals appeared about 140 million years after the first reptiles.sc2c"Therefore, if the north pole of one magnet is moved close to the south pole of the other magnet, magnetic force will pull them together."

Both actions indicate jealousy and hostility toward a friends accomplishment.Prd1Using what you know about life, whom could you assume Karen is most angry at?Virginiaher fatherher motherherselfher teacher4When you dont do your best, who are you most angry at?

In other words, look for evidence to support the conclusion.Although there were some measures of time before Galileos discovery of the pendulum effect, timekeeping as we know it today came about as a result of Galileos studies in the late 1500s.}QX rd3aQ\ rd3aQ` rd3aQe rd3aQk rd3aQn rd3aQx rd3aQy rd3aQ} rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ rd3aQ8 rd3bQN rd3bQ rd3bQ rd3bQ rd3bQ rd3bQ rd3bQ rd3bQ rd3bQ rd3bQ rd3cQ rd3cQ rd3cQ rd3cQ: rd3dQ@ rd3dQI rd3dQL rd3dQR rd3dQ^ rd3dQa rd3dQh rd3d3Read the"QMQNQOQPQXQYQZQ[Q\QdQeQfQgQhQpQqQrQsQ|Q}Q~QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ QQQQ Q&Q2Q>QJQVQbQqQrl of EarE@rd3aWhat was the basis of Galileos new method of scientific study?the texts of Aristotlethe new science of medicinelectures at the University of Pisaobservation and measurementtimekeeping with isochronism4The second paragraph discusses the new age ushered in by Galileos methods.The excerpt claims that Galileos techniques, which were based not on the writings of Aristotle but on observing and measuring what he saw, began a new age.~rd4cWhat is suggested about Galileos character from his first discovery?He was very religious.He rebelled against authority.He was easily distracted.He didnt have the patience to be a doctor.He was curious and resourceful.5This question asks you to infer character traits from a persons actions.Galileos interest in knowing the cause of an everyday occurrence shows his curiosity; the fact that he used his own pulse to measure the swing of the pendulum sho"QQQQQ Q QQQQQ$Q*Q-Q0Q6Q9Q=QBQFQJQNQSQWQZQ_QfQkQrQvQzQ~QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ QQQQQQ oes, andFCws his resourcefulness.rd3aGiven the information in the excerpt, at what other occupation might Galileo have excelled?merchantartistfarmerdetectivepriest4This is an application question that requires you to apply what youve inferred about Galileos character to a different context.The occupation of detective requires the kind of curiosity and resourcefulness, as well as powers of observation, that Galileo exhibited.|-rd4cOn the basis of what the narrator says about the nature of memory, which of the following conclusions can be drawn?Memory is an impressionistic rather than an exact recollection.Long-term memory is more accurate than short-term memory.Childhood memories are always the strongest and the longest lived.When you get older, you tend to forget childhood memories.People always remember feelings more than thoughts or events.1What does the narrator mGEean when she states that memory is an abstract painting?Memory is like an abstract painting because it is not factual but emotional.srd2What can you infer about the narrators childhood from the descriptions in the paragraph?She lived in a very dry area.She has forgotten most of her childhood.She spent her childhood in poverty.She had a happy childhood.She was very unhappy as a child.3Look for clues in the paragraph.The narrator recalls the shantytown where she lived a place of dirt roads and grassless yards that was different from the nicer, greener parts of town.Xrd3aWhat does the word incongruency mean in the phrase another incongruency of memory?harmonysomething causing painappropriatenessa lack of logic and consistencya positive outcome4This question requires you to infer the meaning of a word from context.

By thinking of having an accident while shaving, the narrator is consideriRPng cutting his throat.rd1What is the narrators unstated assumption about life?Life is full of delightful moments.An easy but joyless life is not worth living.Only hard work makes life meaningful.A middle-aged man cannot expect to be happy.Life is meaningless without a loving family.2Notice what the narrator says hes lacking in his life.Although his life is moderately pleasant, the narrators lack of rapture, happiness, and joy leads him to consider suicide.?rd3dWhich of the following statements about the narrator is a valid conclusion?He is an angry, bitter old man.He is lonely and sad.He has lost his friend in an accident.His life used to be more exciting.His life is empty and monotonous.5Which statement is supported by evidence in the passage?From the narrators description of how he spends his days, his life doesnt seem to have much variety oTQr fulfillment.=2ard4bWhich of the following words best describes the narrators attitude about life?indifferentdissapointedmournfultolerantnervous1Notice that he feels objective and fearless when contemplating suicide.The narrator just doesnt seem to care about life.rd3dWhat does the girl in the story assume?Most people are unhappy.The lions are unhappy.Detroit is a dangerous city.Most people have guns.She could get away with shooting the lion.3Why does the girl say This is Detroit?The girl says This is Detroit to explain why she carries a gun, so her assumption is that in a violent city like Detroit she needs one.~w%rd2Which of the following is a reasonable inference about the narrator?He works at a zoo.He loves wild animals.He is afraid of the girl.He is unlucky in love.He is older than the girl_H Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q# @al changUR.5Reread the next-to-last sentence.The narrator says that a girl your age should not be carrying a gun, implying that she is younger than he is.rd4cWhich of the following statements is an invalid conclusion?The story takes place at a zoo.The narrator thinks the girl is disturbed.There is more than one lion in the cage.The narrator knows the girl.The story takes place in Detroit.4Look for evidence to support each of the statements.There is evidence for all the answer choices except Option (4).

Therefore, each day must be pleasant.Yes, the metaphors in the poem reveal that what one writes on the new day is always positive, meaning that the day is filled with pleasantries.No, the poem indicates that each day contains both positive and negative experiences, and, therefore, is not always pleasant.No, the poem does not refer to how each day is lived, just that there is a new day every morning.No, the poem indicates that each day is filled with mistakes and negative events, which is why everyone needs to start over again on the new day with a fresh sheet of paper.3Analyze lines 9 and 10 for a clue about how to answer this question.Lines 9 and 10 indicate that the days contain both bright and dark words. The bright and dark words stand for the positive and negative experiences encountered in daily life. Therefore, not all the experiences are pleasant. 5Qp rd3dQv rd3dQ rd3dQ rd3dQ rd3dQ rd3dQ rd3dQ rd3dQ rd3dQ rd3dQ rd3dQ7 rd3dQ_ rd4aQ rd4aQ rd4aQ rd4aQ rd4aQ rd4aQ rd4aQ rd4aQ0 rd4aQw rd4bQ{ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ rd4bQ' rd4bQ- rd4bQ8 rd4bQE rd4bQ6 rd4cQ7 rd4cQ; rd4cQ? rd4cQE rd4cQG rd4cQJ rd4cnly comfortable chair.He wants to read the funnies.He wants his father to see him clearly.1qmth what is unnatural for a romantic couple, who should ideally walk side by side, face each other, and be ready to stay together.rd3aWhich of the following can you infer that the couple has most likely done?had an argumentgotten engagedfallen asleeptaken a walkjust met1Think about what the couple might have said to each other (line 1) to make them like the deer walking in single file, heads held high.From the first line and the simile comparing the couple to the deer, you can reasonably guess that the couple has quarreled.

What do her questions reveal about her attitude toward relationships?From her opening question, you know that Sunny is interested in love. But her response to her uncles story saying the woman probably did want to talk to him and insisting hed make a good husband reveals her practical and realistic attitude.3rd3aWhat theme is suggested by Adolphs story of the woman on the streetcar?Some people prefer to imagine an ideal rather than to be involved in a real relationship.Some people get only one shot at love and then fail to take advantage of it.The ways of love are strange and unpredictable.Everyone has a perfect mate, but not everyone finds him or her.Seize the moment for it may never come again.1Add up what you find out in the excerptwhy Adolph doesnt meet the love of his life and how he feels about missing the opportunity.Because the girl on the streetcar remains an ideal rather than a reality to Adolph and he seems satisfied with that, his story suggests that he actually prefers the ideal over -the messiness of a real relationship.rd2If Adolph were to see the woman on the streetcar again, what would he most likely do?try to talk to hertry to avoid herinvite her on a dateinvite her to his houseonly smile at her2Consider the time that has passed and his attitude toward the woman.Given his basic shyness, the time that has elapsed, and his resigned attitude toward the woman, he would most likely ignore or try to avoid her.aqrd5In Crevecoeurs opinion, what is the best thing about living in America?the freedom of religionthe freedom to work for yourselfa mild governmentgood roads and navigable riversthe immense territory2Crevecoeur mentions many good things about America, but what seems to be the foundation or cause of such positive developments?Several times Crevecoeur mentions the lack of kings and other rulers in America for whom we toil, starve, a~"QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ Q Q Q Q QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ Qexplainnd bleed and contrasts the herd of people in Europe who have nothing with Americans, each of whom works for himself.}rd7aIn Crevecoeurs time, how did most Americans make their living?building roadstrading among townsmanufacturingfishingfarming5What does Crevecoeur mean by tillers of the earth (lines 16-17) and cultivators (line 18)?Crevecoeurs America was a nation of farmers.

In which of the following places would you NOT expect to find active volcanoes?JapanAustraliathe PhilippinesCentral Americanorthwestern United States2According to the map, Australia has convergent boundaries more than halfway around it. But since none o|f these boundaries comes very near the continent, you can expect Australia to be free of active volcanoes, as it is.-sc1cThe volcanic islands of Hawaii did not form along a plate boundary but over what is called a hot spot. A hot spot is a stationar.sc1cWhich of the following statements is a valid conclusion to draw from this information?The ocean floor is getting hotter.The ocean floor is getting smoother.London and New York are getting farther apart.London and New York are getting closer together.London and New York will always be the same distance apart.3The spreading of the sea floor will increase the distance between London and New York very slowly during the next several million years./Ksc1cThe continents have drifted to their current locations over the course of 200 million years. Which of the following is a reasonable hypo-y place in the mantle that is much hotter than usual. As the hot spot melts the rock, magma escapes to the surface in volcanic activity. The islands were formed one after the other in a row over the course of about 5 million years. The oldest island is northwest of the youngest. Based on this information and the map, which of the following best explains the formation of the Hawaiian Islands?The magma from different hot spots formed the different islands.After forming an island, the hot spot cooled and another hot spot developed.The hot spot, being smaller, moved faster than the Pacific plate.The hot spot moved in the opposite direction under the Pacific plate.The Pacific plate moved over the hot spot and created the islands.5According to the passage, a hot spot is stationary. You can tell from the map that the Pacific plate is moving northwest. Since the oldest island is northwest of the youngest, you can conclude that the Pacific plate moved over the hot spot.9-QQQQQ!Q+Q9QDQQQ^QiQuQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ$Q.Q/Q;Q<Q=QDQEQQQRQSQ\Q]QdQeQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQolve forthesis based on this information?The movement of the continents will eventually slow down.The continents will have to stop moving eventually.The continents will some day be buried under one large ocean.The continents will some day be one huge landmass again.The oceans will begin to shrink as the continents get bigger.4It is logical to assume that since it took 200 million years for the continents to get where they are now, it will take another 200 million years for them to reunite on the other side of the globe.0Bsc1cAccording to the graph, what is the relationship between temperature and depth below Earth's surface?The lower the temperature, the lower the depth.The higher the temperature, the lower the depth.Depth and temperature are both independent variables.The relationship between temperature and depth is unpredictable.Temperature varies only on Earth's surface.2The graph documents the fact that t@emperatures beneath the surface rise the deeper you get.1sc1cOne of Earths internal sources of energy is the decay of radioactive isotopes. Granite, a common type of rock, contains a small amount of these isotopes. Suppose you were to place a piece of granite about the size of a gallon milk jug and a pot of cold coffee in a perfectly insulated container for 850,000 years. Theoretically, what would happen to the coffee at the end of that time?It would solidify.It would freeze.It would boil.It would remain the same.It would disappear.3Heat is one of the products of radioactive decay. Given enough time, the heat produced by the small amount of radioactive isotopes in the granite would boil the coffee.2Fdsc1cWhat is the primary energy source used in this method of desalination?waterelectricitygravitythe sunsalt4Without heat from the sun, this method of desalination could not take place.3sc1cWhat happens to the salt from the saltwater during this process of desalination?It stays behind in the original tray.It sticks to the glass roof.It evaporates.It changes into other minerals.It condenses into fresh water.1Remember that minerals in ocean salts are solids that dissolve in water. When the water is separated from the salt, the salt is left behind in the original tray as a solid.4Fsc1cIn what form is the water when it separates from the salt?a liquida solida gasseparate chemical elementsseparate atoms3Water becomes a gas when it evaporates and separates from the salt.5(ZZsc1cThe chemical formula for table salt is NaCl.

It was probably created and later exposed by the movement of the Pacific plate sliding under the South American plate.=sc1cThe island of Hawaii is famous for its volcanic eruptions of basaltic lava and its black-sand beaches. Which of the following best explains the connection between Hawaiis volcanoes and beaches?Basaltic lava flowed onto the beaches and then cooled.Basaltic lava cooled underground and was exposed on the beach by wind erosion.Sediments from weathered and eroded basalt formed the beaches.Basalt created obsidian, which then formed the beaches.There is no connection between the volcanoes and the beaches.3Sand is made of loose sediments of rock and minerals. Hawaiis black sand came from  ) the eroded basalt on the island.K>@ sc1cOrdinarily, one would expect to find marine animals and plants in the ocean. How could fossils from marine creatures have ended up in the tallest mountain ranges in the world?The land that formed Mount Everest was once part of an ocean floor and got pushed up to form the mountain.At one time in the planets history, the oceans were deeper.Predators that hunted near the ocean carried their prey to their homes on the mountain.Marine animals can also live at high elevations.Radioactive isotopes interfered with the process.1Mountains are created by the movement of the continental plates. Two plates collided; one was lifted by the other sliding beneath it, creating the Himalayas. Fossils that were buried near the surface of the plate can now be found in the mountains.r?5sc1cThe fossil remains of a tropical lizard were found in Antarctica some   years ago. All lizards are cold-blooded and do poorly in cold climates. What explanation of their presence seems most likely?Antarctica is dry enough that it can be categorized as tropical.There was at one point an unusual arctic lizard adapted to live in cold weather.Antarcticas climate was better suited to lizards at some point in the past.It was a fraudulent discovery.Some time in the past three hundred years, a small group of lizards attempted to migrate to Antarctica by swimming.3At one point, South America, Antarctica, and Australia were linked. When Antarctica was linked to these tropical-climate continents, it may have been warmer. As Antarctica drifted toward its current position, cold-blooded animals like lizards were not suited to this cold climate.@|sc1cKeep in mind that new rock layers are deposited horizontally on top of existing layers.

When the rock is tested, it is found to contain radioactive material with a known half-life of 700 miullion years. Analysis reveals that 1/8 of the radioactive material remains as the parent isotope and 7/8 has decayed to the daughter isotope. How old is the fossil?70 million years700 million years140 million years1,400 million (1.4 billion) years2,100 million (2.1 billion) years5Initially, the parent isotope would have made up all of the radioactive material. Every 700 million years, half of the parent isotope decays to the daughter isotope. Therefore, for 1/8 of the parent isotope to be left, three half-lives must have gone by. Seven hundred million times three is 2,100 million, or 2.1 billion.qEsc1cThe same team tested another sample and found the same isotopes, but with a major difference.

For this isotope, the half-life is 700 million years.vF*sc1cWhat is meant by the concept of looking through geologic history?Ancient Earth was thicker at this point than at any other.There are more radioactive isotopes in these rock layers than in others.These mountains were created by the collision of tectonic plates.Earthquakes have never disturbed these rock layers.The river that cut the Grand Canyon exposed more layers of sedimentary rock than are visible anywhere else.5The layers of rock visible at the Grand Canyon depict a history going back millions of years. The oldest rocks are up to a billion years old, and the youngest rocks are about 250 million years old. Thus, looking down into the Grand Canyon, you would be looking at over one and a half billion years of geologic history.Gsc1cWhat would be different about that voyage if it were made today?The distance traveled would be a little greater.The distance traveled would be a little shorter.The distance of the voyage would be the same, but the seas would be rougher.The voyage would be completely unchanged.The ridge would make it difficult to cross the center of the Atlantic.1Due to sea floor spreading, the two plates are moving away from one another at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Du BoisAsk not what your country can do for youask what you can do for your country. John F. Kennedy4Look for ideas similar to liberty, equality, and fraternity (brotherhood) in the quotations.Du Boiss quotation comes the closest because he specifically mentions liberty and brotherhood and implies equality (not singly but together).\Yfeet.3Look for the statement that is not supported by information in the diagram.The diagram does not show the effects of any action on the rain forest. ss3eBased on the limited information in the diagram, which statement can you assume is true?Most trees in the rain forest dont get enough sunlight.There are never any people in the rain forest.Very few animals live in the rain forest.A rain forest contains thousands of one hundred-foot trees.The tallest trees in the rain forest are the oldest.5The diagram pertains only to trees in a typical, or model, rain forest.Since the information in the diagram is primarily visual and limited to showing the layers of the trees in the rain forest, about the only thing you can assume is that the tall trees are old. ss2cUnder the terms of the Constitution, what would happen if the Senate rejected a treaty negotiated by the president?The][ treaty would be valid until differences were resolved.The president could unilaterally sign the treaty into law.The treaty would have to be negotiated all over again.The Supreme Court could approve the treaty.The treaty would go to the House which would decide what to do.3Notice in the second paragraph that treaties have to be approved by two-thirds of the Senate.The Senate has to approve a treaty; it couldnt go into effect until the president renegotiated it more to the senators liking. Kss3cBecause the Air Force is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution, how can the president legally command this military branch?Power over the Air Force is implied by the presidents role as commander in chief.No one has ever challenged the presidents power over the Air Force, and so such power remains.The Air Force is considered the militia of the several states and so is included in the Constitution.Congress can grant^\ the president power when such power is not included in the Constitution.The presidents power over the Air Force was added as an amendment to the Constitution.1The Air Force was separated from the Army and made a branch of the U.S. armed forces after World War II.The Constitution is clear enough in its intent to be interpreted as society changes over time. It would be illogical to exclude the Air Force from the presidents power as commander in chief of the armed forces.

Therefore, the concentration of hydrogen ions in the soap is lower than in the tomato. Z+Isc4bA sample of vinegar has a lower pH than a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid. Which of the following best explains how this is possible?The vinegar is also diluted.The diluted hydrochloric acid has a lower concentration of hydrogen ions than the vinegar.The vinegar has a lower concentration of hydrogen ions than the diluted hydrochloric acid.The diluted hydrochloric acid has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than the vinegar.Vinegar normally has a lower pH than hydrochloric acid.2Diluting an acidic solution will raise its pH level. What will happen to its hydrogen ion concentration?Diluting the hydrochloric acid lowers its concenectration of hydrogen ions while raising its pH level. Therefore the concentration of hydrogen ions in the diluted hydrochloric acid is less than that in vinegar.

A rockets escape velocity leaving the moon would behigher because the temperature of the moon is much lower than Earths.higher because the temperature of the moon is much higher than Earths.lower because the moon has less mass and therefore less gravitatiokinal force than Earth.lower because the mass of the rocket is less on the moon than it is on Earth.the same because the rocket has the same mass on Earth as it does on the moon.3Escape velocity depends on the mass of the object from which the rocket is escaping.Since the moon has less mass than Earth, its gravitational force is lower. Therefore, the escape velocity necessary for a rocket to leave the moon would be lower.- $ sc6aWhy did Galileos theory about a system of planets orbiting the sun gain more acceptance than when Copernicus proposed it?Most astronomers studied in Italy, where Galileo lived.Copernicus was not considered a reputable astronomer.Galileo used a telescope to observe Venuss phases and Jupiters moons.Galileo used a telescope to observe the sun.Ptolemy used methods that were more accurate than Copernicuss.3If Earth were at the center of the system, as Ptolemy suggested, Venus would not have phaseljs similar to Earths moon.Galileo was the first scientist to use a telescope. His observations of Venuss phases and Jupiters moons proved that Copernicus was right about the planets orbiting the sun. % sc1cBeginning with the innermost layer, what are the three layers of the suns atmosphere?the core, the chromosphere, and the coronathe chromosphere, the photosphere, and the corethe photosphere, the corona, and the chromospherethe chromosphere, the corona, and the photospherethe photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona5Select the sun's layers with beginning with the innermost layer.The suns atmosphere begins with the photosphere. & sc3aSunspots are areas of gas on the sun that are cooler than the gases around them.

AdR.2 A sc6bBased on this experiment, which of the following represents Ernest Rutherfords most logical conclusion?Since only a few alpha particles were deflected, a different type of metal foil should be used.Since the alpha particles are positively charged, the deflections must have been caused by positively charged nuclear particles in the foil.Since alpha particles are negatively charged, the deflections must have been caused by positively charged nuclear particles in the foil.Since alpha particles are positively charged, the deflections must have been caused by negatively charged nuclear particles in the foil.Since there were so few deflections of the alpha particles, there can be no positively charged particles in atoms in the foil.2Opposite charges attract while like charges repel.Since the positively charged alpha particles were deflected, Rutherfords experiment showed that positively charged particles existed in the atoms making up the foil.
