Question: [QUESTION]Complete the statement.
Lithium bromide is ().
Solution: You can tell whether lithium bromide is an elementary substance or a compound by counting the number of atomic symbols in its chemical formula. An atomic symbol consists of either one capital letter or a capital letter followed by one or two lowercase letters.
The chemical formula for lithium bromide, LiBr, contains two atomic symbols: Li for lithium and Br for bromine. So, the formula tells you that lithium bromide is composed of two chemical elements bonded together.
Since lithium bromide is composed of multiple chemical elements bonded together, lithium bromide is a compound.

Question: [QUESTION]Compare the motion of two buses. Which bus was moving at a higher speed?
Solution: Look at the distance each bus moved and the time it took to move that distance.
One bus moved 550 kilometers in 10 hours.
The other bus moved 450 kilometers in 10 hours.
Notice that each bus spent the same amount of time moving. The bus that moved 550 kilometers moved a farther distance in that time. So, that bus must have moved at a higher speed.

Question: [QUESTION]Read the following excerpt from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her grammar and mechanics?
When my grandparents first bought a computer, they didn't know how to use the Internet, so I sit down with them and show them the ropes. We go over a few basic terms, and I introduce them to different browsers. I taught them where to find the URL for a website and how to use search boxes. We cover different ways to navigate around a website; for example, I show them how to use a mouse, how to scroll up or down a page using the scroll bar, and how to click on links. Now they are excited to be online.
Solution: The writer could best improve his or her grammar and mechanics by using consistent verb tenses.
For example, the writer could use past tense for all verbs but the last one; now indicates that the last sentence should be written in present tense.
