Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same genus as the Victoria crowned pigeon.
Solution: A Victoria crowned pigeon's scientific name is Goura victoria. The first word of its scientific name is Goura.
Goura scheepmakeri is in the genus Goura. The first word of its scientific name is Goura. So, Goura scheepmakeri and Goura victoria are in the same genus.
Aequorea victoria and Goura victoria are not in the same genus.
These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Aequorea victoria and Goura victoria have the same species name within their genus, victoria. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Aequorea victoria is in the genus Aequorea, and Goura victoria is in the genus Goura.
Falco sparverius is in the genus Falco. The first word of its scientific name is Falco. So, Falco sparverius and Goura victoria are not in the same genus.

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 2 attract. The magnets in Pair 1 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.

Forming strong social bonds with other females increases the chances that ().
Solution: Look for the part of the passage that describes the effect of forming strong social bonds with other females. Use this information to determine why this behavior can increase the reproductive success of the female baboon.
Choice "Baboons are found in many parts of Africa, where they live in groups. Female baboons in a group can form social bonds, or close relationships, with other females. Most female baboons form social bonds, but some have stronger bonds than others. Females that have stronger social bonds spend more time grooming, or cleaning, each other." is correct.
Choice "When a female has strong social bonds with other females, more of her offspring reach adulthood than the offspring of females with weak social bonds. This may be because having strong social bonds helps a female handle stress. When female baboons are stressed, the females that have strong social bonds spend more time together. This makes the females less stressed, which can also help their offspring." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Forming strong social bonds with other females increases the chances that the female will spend more time grooming other baboons." is incorrect." is incorrect.
Choice "To increase her reproductive success, the female baboon needs to have offspring that survive to reproduce. Spending more time on grooming does not directly increase the female's chances of producing offspring that survive to reproduce. So, spending more time on grooming is not why forming strong social bonds increases the female's reproductive success." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Forming strong social bonds with other females increases the chances that the female's offspring will be around other females." is incorrect." is incorrect.
Choice "When female baboons have strong social bonds, they spend more time around each other. So, forming strong social bonds with other females could increase the chances that a female's offspring will be around other females. But the passage does not discuss whether having offspring around other females affects the female's reproductive success. So, the passage does not support this claim." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Forming strong social bonds with other females increases the chances that the female's offspring will live longer." is incorrect." is correct.
Choice "According to the underlined text, female baboons with strong social bonds have more offspring that reach adulthood than females with weak social bonds do. So, by forming strong social bonds, a female baboon increases the chances that her offspring will live longer and reach adulthood. This increases the chances that her offspring will reproduce, which can increase her reproductive success." is incorrect.

Question: [QUESTION]Which solution has a higher concentration of green particles?
Solution: In Solution A and Solution B, the green particles represent the solute. To figure out which solution has a higher concentration of green particles, look at both the number of green particles and the volume of the solvent in each container.
Use the concentration formula to find the number of green particles per milliliter.
Solution A has more green particles per milliliter. So, Solution A has a higher concentration of green particles.

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]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
Solution: Each particle in the two samples has the same mass, but the particles in sample A 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.
