Question: [QUESTION]Select the fish below.
Solution: A tiger salamander is an amphibian. It has moist skin and begins its life in water.
Tiger salamanders often live in underground burrows.
A Steller's sea eagle is a bird. It has feathers, two wings, and a beak.
Sea eagles use their sharp beaks to eat fish and other birds.
A leafy seadragon is a fish. It lives underwater. It has fins, not limbs.
A seadragon's body looks like a clump of seaweed. This helps the seadragon hide from its predators.
A red-eyed tree frog is an amphibian. It has moist skin and begins its life in water.
A red-eyed tree frog has sticky pads on its toes. The sticky pads help the red-eyed tree frog hold on to leaves.

Question: [QUESTION]Which country is highlighted?
Solution: This country is Haiti.
Does Haiti have any territorial disputes?
Haiti claims to own Navassa Island, which is a disputed territory. In other words, multiple countries or groups claim that the area rightfully belongs to them.

Question: [QUESTION]Read the following text from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her ideas and development?
Why is smoking cigarettes bad for your health? Cigarettes contain poisonous substances like carbon monoxide and tar, which can harm every part of your body. Smoking causes heart disease and damages your blood vessels. Eating a diet high in fat, sugar, and salt can also lead to heart disease. A lack of exercise contributes to heart disease, too. Smoking damages your lungs and can cause breathing problems or lung cancer. In fact, it can cause cancer in any organ in your body.
Solution: The writer could best improve his or her ideas and development by focusing on one main idea.
For example, the writer could remove the underlined text to focus only on the reasons why smoking cigarettes is bad for your health.

Question: [QUESTION]Assume all other forces on Austin are balanced. Which statement describes the forces on Austin?
Solution: To determine if there is a net force on Austin, look at the forces:
Earth's gravity is pulling Austin down with a force of 400 N.
The diving board is pushing Austin up with a force of 400 N.
The forces are in opposite directions, and the forces have the same magnitude: 400 N. This means that the forces are balanced, so there is no net force on Austin.

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 4 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 was 1 more solute particle 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.

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 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 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

Solution: A black-headed gull's scientific name is Chroicocephalus ridibundus.
Chroicocephalus ridibundus is in the same genus as Chroicocephalus serranus, but they are not in the same species.
Organisms in the same species have the same scientific names. Chroicocephalus ridibundus and Chroicocephalus serranus are different species within the same genus.
Chroicocephalus ridibundus has the same scientific name as a black-headed gull. So, these organisms are in the same species.
Crocodylus moreletii does not have the same scientific name as a black-headed gull. So, Chroicocephalus ridibundus and Crocodylus moreletii are not in the same species.

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.
Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force. When there is a greater distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is smaller.
There is a greater distance between the magnets in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

Question: [QUESTION]Which logical fallacy is used in the text?
I don't trust Professor Silva's findings. Another researcher at her university was caught falsifying data. So, it's likely Professor Silva has, too.
Solution: The text argues that Professor Silva's research is untrustworthy because someone else at her university was caught falsifying data. However, this isn't necessarily true. The practices of one researcher at a university do not necessarily reflect the practices of another researcher at the same university. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as guilt by association.
