Question: [QUESTION]Why might grooming eggs increase the reproductive success of a female European earwig? Complete the claim below that answers this question and is best supported by the passage.
Grooming eggs increases the chances that ().
Solution: Look for the part of the passage that describes the effect of grooming eggs. Use this information to determine why this behavior can increase the reproductive success of the female European earwig.
Choice "European earwigs are small insects that raise their offspring in cool, moist soil. After earwigs mate, females lay their eggs in underground nests. Females often groom, or clean, their eggs. The females lick their eggs and turn them over in the nest to groom them." is incorrect.
Choice "When female earwigs groom eggs, the eggs hatch more often. This is because grooming helps to remove mold from the surface of the eggs. Mold often lives in the soil around the nest and can infect and kill the eggs." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Grooming eggs increases the chances that the female's offspring will survive." is incorrect." is correct.
Choice "According to the underlined text, grooming eggs helps remove mold from the surface of the eggs. So, by grooming eggs, the female earwig decreases the chances that mold will infect and kill the eggs. This increases the chances that the female's offspring will survive, which can increase her reproductive success." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Grooming eggs increases the chances that the female will spend time near her offspring." is incorrect." is incorrect.
Choice "To increase her reproductive success, the female earwig needs to have offspring that survive to reproduce. Spending time near her offspring does not directly increase the female's chances of producing offspring that survive to reproduce. So, spending time near her offspring is not why grooming eggs increases the female's reproductive success." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Grooming eggs increases the chances that the female will produce more eggs." is incorrect." is incorrect.
Choice "Producing more eggs could increase the chances that the female earwig will have more surviving offspring. This could increase her reproductive success. But the passage does not discuss the chances that the female will produce more eggs. So, the passage does not support this claim." is incorrect. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

So, the Steigerwald Forest has warm, wet summers. It also has only a few types of trees. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same genus as the silver gull.
Solution: A silver gull's scientific name is Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae. The first word of its scientific name is Chroicocephalus.
Caprimulgus macrurus is in the genus Caprimulgus. The first word of its scientific name is Caprimulgus. So, Caprimulgus macrurus and Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae are not in the same genus.
Polysticta stelleri is in the genus Polysticta. The first word of its scientific name is Polysticta. So, Polysticta stelleri and Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae are not in the same genus.
Chroicocephalus scopulinus is in the genus Chroicocephalus. The first word of its scientific name is Chroicocephalus. So, Chroicocephalus scopulinus and Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae are in the same genus. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which is a complex sentence?

Question: [QUESTION]What can Mary and Lisa trade to each get what they want?
Solution: Look at the table and images.
Mary wants broccoli. Lisa wants tomatoes. They can trade tomatoes for broccoli to both get what they want. Trading other things would not help both people get more items they want. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which tense does the sentence use?
Julia and Sofia race down the hill.
Solution: The sentence is in present tense. You can tell because it uses a present-tense verb, race. The verb tells you about something that is true or happening now. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which text uses the word factoid in its traditional sense?
Solution: The second text uses factoid in its traditional sense: something made up presented as a true fact.
As a geneticist, Suzie dislikes many popular sci-fi movies because they often present audiences with factoids that misrepresent her field.
The first text uses factoid in its nontraditional sense: a trivial but true fact.
As a geneticist, Suzie enjoys watching science documentaries and sharing various factoids she's learned with her colleagues.
Most style guides recommend to use the traditional sense of the word factoid because it is considered more standard. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]Which bowl of oatmeal has more thermal energy?
Solution: The two bowls of oatmeal are made of the same material and have the same mass. So, the hotter bowl of oatmeal has more thermal energy. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Select the bird below.
Solution: A rabbit is a mammal. It has fur and feeds its young milk.
Rabbits live underground in burrows. A group of rabbit burrows is called a warren.
A toco toucan is a bird. It has feathers, two wings, and a beak.
Toucans have large beaks. A toucan's beak can be half as long as its body. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which of these continents does the equator intersect?
Solution: The equator is the line at 0° latitude. It intersects Africa. It does not intersect Europe or Antarctica. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
Solution: Each particle in sample B has more mass than each particle in sample A. The particles in sample B also have a higher average speed than the particles in sample A. So, the particles in sample B have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample A.
Because the particles in sample B have the higher average kinetic energy, sample B must have the higher temperature. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which is a simple sentence?
Solution: The first sentence is the simple sentence. It has one subject and predicate.
Earth is one of eight planets in our solar system. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
