Which Figure Completes the Series

1. Which best describes the tone of this letter?

A. floridB. ingenuousC. inimicalD. obtuse

Sea Spray ChartersResearches suggest that there are

creatures that do not know what light means at the bottom of the sea. They don't have either eyes or ears; they can only feel. There is no day or night for them. There are no winters, no summers, no sun, no moon, and no stars. It is as if a child spent its life in darkness in bed, with nothing to see or hear. How different our own life is! Sight shows us the ground beneath our feet and the heavens above us - the sun, moon, and stars, shooting stars, lightning, and the sunset. It shows us day and night. We are able to hear voices, the sound of the sea, and music. We feel, we taste, we smell. How fortunate we are!

A. life of sea creatures at the bottom of the sea

B. how changes in the seasons are perceived by the deep-sea creatures

C. how wonderful our lives were and will be

D. the differences among creatures of the earth and those of the sea

•Ants are social animals that live together in a colony. Each ant plays a part in helping the group survive. Usually, a colony has one queen, who lays eggs. There are winged males, which develop from unfertilized eggs, and die soon after leaving the nest to mate with other queens. However, most of the ants are workers. These are females that cannot lay fertilized eggs. Their job is to find food and sometimes to fight to protect the colony. Based on this information, which of the following statements best explains why there are fewer males than worker ants in an ant colony?

A. Males do not live long, and only few are required to fertilize a queen.B. Workers are so numerous that they crowd off the males.C. The formation of wings requires a specialized environment.D. Winged males develop from unfertilized eggs.E. Winged males must sometimes flight to protect the colony.

•For decades, scientists thought that people were born with all the brain cells they would ever have and that deteriorated or damaged brain cells were not repaired or replaced. However, recent research suggests that people mat add billions of new brains from infancy through adolescence. Even adults may maintain brain function by adding new cells. Many scientists have had difficulty believing the new findings because these findings did not agree with longstanding ideas about the brain. Which is an unstated assumption related to this paragraph? A. Scientists thought people were born with all the brain cells they would ever have. B. Scientists, like other people, sometimes have trouble changing long-held beliefs.C. When brain cells are injured, they cannot repair or replace themselves.D. Recent research on brain cells is not very surprising.E. Even adults may be able to add new brain cells.

•Researchers have used electricity to help remove a common industrial solvent from contaminated soil. They sank electrodes up to 45 feet deep and ran an electric current through them. The electrodes attracted water laced with the solvent to the treatment zone. There, clay mixed with iron fillings broke the solvent down. Electrical clean up can be done on site, rather than by shipping contaminated soil elsewhere. Thus, according to researchers, this method is likely to prove less expensive to use than traditional decontamination techniques. Which of the following is an opinion rather than a fact about using electricity to clean up contaminated soil?

A. Electricity is being used in a new method of decontaminating soil at industrial sites polluted with certain solvents.B. Electrodes are sunk up to 45 feet deep in contaminated soil.C. Electric current attracts water laced with the contaminating solvent to the electrodes.D. Clay mixed with iron fillings breaks down the solvent.E. Using electricity to clean up industrial solvents should be cheaper than using traditional methods.

•Cellular Respiration is a series of chemical reactions in which complex fat, protein and carbohydrate molecules are broken down, giving off energy in living organisms. What is the purpose of cellular respiration?A. to break down fat moleculesB. to build protein moleculesC. to release energyD. to take in food moleculesE. to use up carbohydrate molecules
