We cannot have shorter prison sentences, even for low-level criminals. It would only be a matter of time before all prison sentences were reduced and violent offenders were roaming the streets!
Solution: The text argues that going easy on low-level criminals will lead to going easy on violent criminals, too. However, there is no reason why easing penalties for low-level criminals must necessarily lead to changes to penalties for violent criminals. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as the slippery slope fallacy. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Does the sentence use a simile or a metaphor?
Every Sunday, that popular farmers' market is like a zoo.
Solution: Every Sunday, that popular farmers' market is like a zoo.
The words farmers' market and zoo are compared using the word like. So, the sentence uses a simile. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Based on the time line, which event happens earlier?
Solution: A time line shows the order of events by placing them along a line. This time line shows important events during the California Gold Rush.
Look at how the events are ordered on the time line. Events that happened earlier are shown to the left. Events that happened later are shown to the right. Gold becomes harder to find in California is shown farther to the left than California's population grows past 300,000. So, Gold becomes harder to find in California earlier. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]What does the verbal irony in this text suggest?
"This is the best day of my life," Mr. Duran mumbled after his car broke down on the way to an important job interview.
Solution: The text uses verbal irony, which involves saying one thing but implying something very different.
The best day of my life ironically suggests that Mr. Duran was having a bad day. He was having the opposite of a good day because his car broke down when he needed to be on time. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with straight ears to offspring with curled ears? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with straight ears or curled ears, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the ear type trait. The question tells you that the e allele, which is for straight ears, is recessive to the E allele, which is for curled ears.
Straight ears is the recessive allele's version of the ear type trait. An American curl cat with the recessive version of the ear type trait must have only recessive alleles for the ear type gene. So, offspring with straight ears must have the genotype ee.
All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype ee.
Curled ears is the dominant allele's version of the ear type trait. An American curl cat with the dominant version of the ear type trait must have at least one dominant allele for the ear type gene. So, offspring with curled ears must have the genotype EE or Ee.
There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype EE or Ee.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with straight ears to offspring with curled ears is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring with straight ears. This cross is expected to never produce offspring with curled ears. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which logical fallacy is used in the text?
Did you really vote for Richard as class treasurer? Didn't you hear that his uncle was imprisoned for embezzling $1.5 million?
Solution: The text argues that Richard can't be trusted with money, because his uncle embezzled money. However, even though his uncle couldn't be trusted with money, that doesn't necessarily mean that Richard can't be trusted with it. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as guilt by association. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]What does the verbal irony in this text suggest?
"That fits you well," Tamir remarked after Kinsley's cap fell over her eyes for the tenth time.
Solution: The text uses verbal irony, which involves saying one thing but implying something very different.
Fits you well ironically suggests that the cap was too big. The cap was falling over Kinsley's eyes, so it didn't fit her well at all. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Would you find the word accuse on a dictionary page with the following guide words?
another - away
Solution: Put the words in alphabetical order.
Since accuse is not between the guide words another - away, it would not be found on that page. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]Which text uses the word peruse in its traditional sense?
Solution: The first text uses peruse in its traditional sense: to examine in detail.
Greg perused a catalog from his wife's favorite clothing store, searching for the perfect birthday gift.
The second text uses peruse in its nontraditional sense: to look through in a casual manner.
Greg perused a clothing catalog as he waited for his appointment, flipping through the pages distractedly.
Most style guides recommend to use the traditional sense of the word peruse because it is considered more standard. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
