Question: [QUESTION]Read the following excerpt from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her word choice?
Automobile companies should be required to manufacture more fuel-efficient vehicles. This shift would help the environment by lowering the demand for crude oil and lowering the level of pollutants released into the atmosphere. If fuel-efficient cars were manufactured, the economy would improve, too. As people lowered their expenses for gas, they would be able to increase spending on other products. Also, manufacturing these cars would drive technology forward: other new products would likely be manufactured, too.
Solution: The writer could best improve his or her word choice by reducing repetitive language.
For example, the writer could revise the underlined text by using synonyms of manufacture, such as make, produce, create, and build, and synonyms of lower, such as decrease or reduce.

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the sentence.
In this chemical reaction, beeswax is a ().
Solution: Read the underlined text carefully. Look for information about what happens to beeswax in this chemical reaction.
Candles can be made from beeswax, the substance bees use to build honeycombs. As a beeswax candle's string, or wick, burns, the wax melts and rises up the string. The wax combines with oxygen in the air, forming carbon dioxide and water. This process releases energy in the form of light and heat.
The underlined text tells you that when beeswax and oxygen combine, carbon dioxide and water are formed. When beeswax and oxygen react, or go through a chemical change, their atoms are rearranged to form carbon dioxide and water. Because beeswax reacts in this chemical reaction, beeswax is a reactant. | 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 3 solute particles on the left side of the membrane and 7 solute particles on the right side of the membrane.
When the solute particles reached equilibrium, there were 5 solute particles on each side of the membrane. There were 2 more solute particles on the left 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 left than to the right. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with normal wings to offspring with vestigial wings? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with normal wings or vestigial wings, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the wing type trait. The question tells you that the N allele, which is for normal wings, is dominant over the n allele, which is for vestigial wings.
Normal wings is the dominant allele's version of the wing type trait. A fruit fly with the dominant version of the wing type trait must have at least one dominant allele for the wing type gene. So, offspring with normal wings must have the genotype NN or Nn.
There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype NN or Nn.
Vestigial wings is the recessive allele's version of the wing type trait. A fruit fly with the recessive version of the wing type trait must have only recessive alleles for the wing type gene. So, offspring with vestigial wings must have the genotype nn.
All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype nn.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with normal wings to offspring with vestigial wings is 0:4. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will never produce offspring with normal wings. Instead, this cross is expected to always produce offspring with vestigial wings. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
