556987a6249b | 66CBBA95F7C0 | No two classes are taught the exact same.

2b41c1504a39 | 66CBBA95F7C0 | The teacher may assume that the work load distributed throughout the year is extremely light and requires very little effort.

56db9f423450 | 66CE6C9D0594 | I have concluded that though it is risky and dangerous to study Venus, I think it's worth knowing about it and it's contents.

f0be72fa7471 | 67348F433E43 | I do not agree that the face on Mars was made by aliens for a couple of reasons. | Position | Adequate |

f2d616d5fac2 | 67348F433E43 | From my understanding what the last paragrah is saying is it is just a landform not created by aliens just made by land such as dirt,dust,mud or whatever is on that planet. Also in the three pictures that look like they are changing every year they took the pictures so maybe Mars has storms which causes the dirt or dus... | Evidence | Adequate |
edea7869310e | 67348F433E43 | The last reason for me thinking that the face is a landform and it was not created by aliens is because it clearly states in the reading that they found out it was just a "messa brutte" | Claim | Adequate |
81c93460357e | 67348F433E43 | which is a landform so that gives the answer right there. | Evidence | Adequate |
