Question: [QUESTION]Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
Solution: The magnets in Pair 1 attract. The magnets in Pair 2 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force.
Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The larger the magnets, the greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between them.
Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is larger in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the text to describe the diagram.
Solute particles moved in both directions across the permeable membrane. But more solute particles moved across the membrane (). When there was an equal concentration on both sides, the particles reached equilibrium.
Solution: Look at the diagram again. It shows you how the solution changed during the process of diffusion.
Before the solute particles reached equilibrium, there were 6 solute particles on the left side of the membrane and 2 solute particles on the right side of the membrane.
When the solute particles reached equilibrium, there were 4 solute particles on each side of the membrane. There were 2 more solute particles on the right side of the membrane than before.
So, for the solute particles to reach equilibrium, more solute particles must have moved across the membrane to the right than to the left. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]Which text uses the word unique in its traditional sense?
Solution: The second text uses unique in its traditional sense: being the only one of its kind.
Each vase and bowl in Samantha's collection of handmade pottery is unique. The colors and designs reflect both her cultural heritage and her individual artistic style.
The first text uses unique in its nontraditional sense: interesting or unusual. Samantha is a distinctive artist, but might not be one of a kind. It may be helpful to remember that if unique is modified by an adverb—as in most unique, very unique, or quite unique—it is probably being used nontraditionally.
Samantha's collection of handmade pottery was featured in last week's edition of the Hillsdale Journal, which identified her as "one of the most unique young artists to debut this year."
Most style guides recommend to use the traditional sense of the word unique because it is considered more standard. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]Which text uses the word literally in its traditional sense?
Solution: The first text uses literally in its traditional sense: in a factual, non-exaggerated way.
Jasmine adores the classic Renaissance style of the Rialto Bridge in Venice. She was surprised to learn that the bridge remains functional even though it is literally hundreds of years old.
The second text uses literally in its nontraditional sense: nearly or in effect (often exaggerated). The bridge is old, but it is not actually a million years old.
Jasmine adores the classic Renaissance style of the Rialto Bridge in Venice. She was surprised to learn that the bridge remains functional even though it is literally a million years old.
Most style guides recommend to avoid using the nontraditional sense of the word literally because it is generally considered incorrect. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Compare the motion of three ships. Which ship was moving at the highest speed?
Solution: Look at the distance each ship moved and the time it took to move that distance. The direction each ship moved does not affect its speed.
Notice that each ship moved for 10 hours. The ship that moved 365 miles moved the farthest distance in that time. So, that ship must have moved at the highest speed. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]What does the allusion in this text suggest?
With the gutters clogged and water rising in the streets, Lillian, who was watching the storm from her window, commented, "We're going to need an ark to get out of here."
Solution: The text uses an allusion, a brief reference to someone or something well known.
The allusion to an ark suggests that Lillian thinks the storm will cause major flooding. In the Bible, it rains for forty days and forty nights; Noah, his family, and animals of every species survive the great flood in an ark that he builds. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same genus as the bighorn sheep.
Solution: A bighorn sheep's scientific name is Ovis canadensis. The first word of its scientific name is Ovis.
Castor canadensis and Ovis canadensis are not in the same genus.
These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Castor canadensis and Ovis canadensis have the same species name within their genus, canadensis. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Castor canadensis is in the genus Castor, and Ovis canadensis is in the genus Ovis.
Strix nebulosa is in the genus Strix. The first word of its scientific name is Strix. So, Strix nebulosa and Ovis canadensis are not in the same genus.
Ovis aries is in the genus Ovis. The first word of its scientific name is Ovis. So, Ovis aries and Ovis canadensis are in the same genus. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]What information supports the conclusion that Isaac inherited this trait?
Solution: | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Based on the arrows, which of the following living things is an omnivore?
Solution: Omnivores are consumers that eat both producers and other consumers. So, an omnivore has arrows pointing to it from at least one producer and at least one consumer.
The phytoplankton does not have any arrows pointing to it. So, the phytoplankton is a producer, not an omnivore.
The plainfin midshipman has an arrow pointing to it from the phytoplankton, which is a producer. The plainfin midshipman also has an arrow pointing to it from the zooplankton, which is a consumer. The plainfin midshipman eats a producer and a consumer, so it is an omnivore. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
Solution: Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The smaller the magnets, the smaller the magnitude of the magnetic force between them.
Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
Solution: The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample A has more mass than each particle in sample B. So, the particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B.
