Question: [QUESTION]Select the gas.
Solution: A door is a solid. A solid has a size and shape of its own. When you open or close a door, it keeps its shape.
The water in a sink is a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you move the water from a sink into a different container, the water will take the shape of that container. But the water will still take up the same amount of space.
Helium is a gas. A gas expands to fill a space. Helium is lighter than air. So, if you fill a balloon with helium, the balloon will rise. If helium leaks out of the balloon, the helium will expand into the space around the balloon.
A tortoise shell is a solid. A solid has a size and shape of its own. A tortoise shell is made of a solid called keratin, just like your fingernails!

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common?
using polish to remove tarnish from a silver spoon
a dinosaur bone turning into rock over millions of years
Solution: Step 1: Think about each change.
A tarnished silver spoon is one that has become less shiny over time. Polishing the spoon makes it look shiny again.
The polish changes the tarnish into a different type of matter that can be easily wiped away. So, using polish to remove tarnish from silver is a chemical change.
A dinosaur bone turning into rock is a chemical change. The matter that made up the bone when it was alive begins to break down. Over a long time, a different type of matter starts forming inside small gaps in the bone. The matter is made of minerals from the earth.
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.
Neither change is caused by heating.
Both are caused by cooling.
Neither change is caused by cooling.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the source of the allusion in the sentence below?
From the look on her face, Vivian is carrying an albatross around her neck.
Solution: The source of the allusion an albatross around her neck is a poem.

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

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is this fly's phenotype for the body color trait?
Solution: The fruit fly's genotype for the body color gene is bb. The fruit fly's genotype of bb has only b alleles. The b allele is for a black body. So, the fruit fly's phenotype for the body color trait must be a black body.
To check this answer, consider whether the fruit fly's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a gray body (B) is dominant over the allele for a black body (b). This means B is a dominant allele, and b is a recessive allele.
The fruit fly's genotype of bb has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, the fruit fly's phenotype for the body color trait must be a black body.

Question: [QUESTION]Why might removing broken eggshells from the nest increase the reproductive success of a black-headed gull? Complete the claim below that answers this question and is best supported by the passage.
Removing broken eggshells from the nest increases the chances that ().
Solution: Look for the part of the passage that describes the effect of removing broken eggshells from the nest. Use this information to determine why this behavior can increase the reproductive success of the black-headed gull.
Choice "Black-headed gulls build their nests on the ground. The gulls' eggs, chicks, and nests are brown, so they blend in with the sand, twigs, and dry grass around them. But the inside of a gull's eggshell is white. When an egg hatches, the white of the broken eggshell stands out from the brown nest. This makes it easier for crows and other predators to find the nest and eat the offspring in it." is incorrect.
Choice "After an egg hatches, the parent gull leaves the nest to carry the broken eggshell away. This helps the nest blend in with the environment again. It is harder for predators to find offspring in a nest that blends in with the environment." is correct.
Choice "Choice "Removing broken eggshells from the nest increases the chances that the gull will be away from its offspring at a given time." is incorrect." is incorrect.
Choice "Removing broken eggshells from the nest may increase the chances that the gull will be away from its offspring at a given time. But the passage does not support the claim that the gull can increase its reproductive success by being away from its offspring. Leaving the offspring alone in the nest could put them in danger. This could decrease the chances that the offspring will survive, which could decrease the gull's reproductive success." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Removing broken eggshells from the nest increases the chances that the gull's chicks will get food." is incorrect." is incorrect.
Choice "Getting food to the chicks could increase the chances that the gull's chicks will survive. This could increase the gull's reproductive success. But the passage does not discuss the chances that the gull's chicks will get food. So, the passage does not support this claim." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Removing broken eggshells from the nest increases the chances that the gull's offspring will survive." is incorrect." is correct.
Choice "According to the underlined text, it is harder for predators to find offspring when there are no broken eggshells in the nest. So, by removing broken eggshells from the nest, the parent gull decreases the chances that predators will eat the gull's offspring. This increases the chances that the gull's offspring will survive, which can increase its reproductive success." is incorrect.

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.
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.
