Question: [QUESTION]Which country is highlighted?
Solution: This country is Cuba.
Does Cuba have any territorial disputes?
Cuba claims to own Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, which is a disputed territory. In other words, multiple countries or groups claim that the area rightfully belongs to them.
The United States controls the area and uses it as a military base and prison. A treaty in 1903 gave the U.S. the right to rent the land from Cuba. But today, Cuba says that it had no choice but to accept the treaty. It wants the United States to leave the area and does not accept the rent money sent by the United States each year.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on the passage, what was the Protestant Reformation?
Solution: The Protestant Reformation was a movement demanding that the Catholic Church reform, or change, some of its practices. Catholic leaders were asked to reform, or change, what they were teaching and how they led the Catholic community. Choice "a period when people asked Protestant churches to reform their teachings" is incorrect. The Reformation was a period when people asked the Catholic Church to reform.

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common?
roasting a marshmallow over a campfire
baking a loaf of bread
Solution: Step 1: Think about each change.
Roasting a marshmallow is a chemical change. The type of matter on the outside of the marshmallow changes. As a marshmallow is roasted, it turns brown and crispy.
Baking a loaf of bread is a chemical change. The type of matter in the dough changes when it is baked. The dough turns into bread!
Step 2: Look at each answer choice.
Both are only physical changes.
Both changes are chemical changes. They are not physical changes.
Both are chemical changes.
Both changes are chemical changes. The type of matter before and after each change is different.
Both are caused by heating.
Both changes are caused by heating.
Both are caused by cooling.
Neither change is caused by cooling.

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the statement.
Fluorine is ().
Solution: You can tell whether fluorine 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 fluorine, F2, contains one atomic symbol: F. So, the formula tells you that fluorine is composed of only one chemical element.
Since fluorine is composed of only one chemical element, fluorine is an elementary substance.

Question: [QUESTION]Select the chemical formula for this molecule.
Solution: C is the symbol for carbon. According to the legend, carbon atoms are shown in dark gray. Cl is the symbol for chlorine. According to the legend, chlorine atoms are shown in green. This ball-and-stick model shows a molecule with one carbon atom and four chlorine atoms. The chemical formula will contain the symbols C and Cl. There is one carbon atom, so C will not have a subscript. There are four chlorine atoms, so Cl will have a subscript of 4. The correct formula is CCl4. The diagram below shows how each part of the chemical formula matches with each part of the model above.

Question: [QUESTION]Read the following excerpt from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her grammar and mechanics?
Nearly out of breath, the door at the top of the stairs swings open, and I find myself on the main observation deck on the eighty-sixth floor of the Empire State Building. What a view there is! Looking down from this impressive landmark, New York City is displayed before me in every direction. To the southwest, the Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. This deck is one of the world's most famous movie sets, and it's also where my father proposed to my mother in 1995.
Solution: The writer could best improve his or her grammar and mechanics by correcting misplaced modifiers.
For example, the writer could revise the text so that Nearly out of breath modifies I instead of the door and Looking down from this impressive landmark modifies I instead of New York City.
Nearly out of breath, the door at the top of the stairs swings open, and I find myself on the main observation deck on the eighty-sixth floor of the Empire State Building. What a view there is!

Question: [QUESTION]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
Solution: Each particle in sample A has more mass than each particle in sample B. The particles in sample A also have a higher average speed than the particles in sample B. So, the particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B.
Because the particles in sample A have the higher average kinetic energy, sample A must have the higher temperature.
