In 1927, the American aviator, Charles Lindbergh, became the first person to conquer the Atlantic by flying across the vast ocean. Soon afterward, people started talking about a woman aviator doing the same. She was Amelia Earhart. In April 1928, Earhart's growing reputation attracted numerous sponsors. They asked Amelia if she would like to fly across the Atlantic Ocean to which she agreed. But her sponsors thought it was too risky for a woman to fly alone. Moreover, the sponsors were concerned that Earhart did not have the appropriate training to fly the type of plane they would be using. Ultimately, Earhart had to ride as a passenger with pilot Wilmer "Bill" Stultz and co-pilot Louis E. "Slim" Gordon. She received a cheerful welcome when their plane landed in the United Kingdom. However, Earhart said she felt she "was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes." She longed
n ANS✔ Qs

Information about her flying from Newfoundland, Canada and landing in Paris - n ANS✔ Information about Earhart's activities to pursue her goal of flying across the globe * (Based on the last line of the passage, it is evident that Earhart must have done something to fly across the world or might have even taken a flight to do so.) Qs Use the passage below to answer the question. Most Americans know that HIV/AIDS is a worldwide health problem; many also believe it is the most dangerous disease across the globe. Malaria, however, far surpasses HIV/AIDS as a cause of sickness and death around the world. One likely reason for Americans' lack of awareness about malaria may be that malaria has been eradicated in this country, thanks in large part to efforts made during World War II. U.S. scientists sought new medicines and methods to control the effects and spread of malaria among combat troops. Those efforts were later applied to an eradication effort that has kept the U.S. malaria-free for decades. - n ANS✔ Qs

Stimulus: 1 of 2 Which of the following is a logical conclusion based on the passage?

1. Stimulus: 2 of 2 Which of the following best describes the author's purpose in the first sentence of the passage?
To connect the passage to the reader's frame of reference
To convince the reader of the need for social action
To focus on disagreements about global diseases
To introduce information about HIV/AIDS - n ANS✔ To connect the passage to the reader's frame of reference * (Malaria is a disease with which many Americans may be unfamiliar. To connect the reader to the passage, the author has compared this disease to one that is likely more familiar.) Qs Use the passage below to answer the question. What controls our hunger? Our central nervous system (CNS) influences our feeding behavior and metabolism. The brainstem receives signals from our gut and hypothalamus. When our stomach is empty, the appetite-stimulating neurons in the hypothalamus send information to the brainstem, signaling hunger. This leads to the secretion of ghrelin, a hunger-stimulating hormone that is mainly released by the stomach. When we eat, our brain perceives the stomach's distention as satiety and stops

Ghrelin is another hormone involved in hunger and satiety. - n ANS✔ To reverse leptin resistance, we can space meals 3 to 4 hours apart, increase protein intake, exercise regularly, and optimize our sleep. * (This sentence is a logical addition to the end of the passage because it addresses potential solutions for leptin resistance, which is a continuation of the focus of the previous sentence.) Qs Use the passage below to answer the question. Proper hydration is a key to health, and water bottles help people on the go stay hydrated. Unfortunately, recent research has found that bacteria multiply in the moist environment within bottles. Much of the contamination comes from handling the bottle and not properly cleaning it. Most users only rinse their bottles with water to clean them, and this is not sufficient to slow the growth of bacteria. Luckily, there are simple actions to avoid a bacteria-laden water bottle. First, choose a metal or glass bottle, and second, wash hands after using the restroom and before filling the bottle. Third, wash the bottle daily with soap, hydrogen peroxide, or a vinegar rinse. Cleaning the water bottle is a vital part of an evening routine. - n ANS✔ Qs

Metal or glass bottles are less likely to promote bacterial growth.
Rinsing water bottles with vinegar promotes bacterial growth in the water bottles.
People should wash their hands after filling their water bottles. - n ANS✔

To narrate
To persuade
To inform
To entertain - n ANS✔ To inform * (The passage is informing people who use reusable water bottles how to keep them clean.) Qs Use the passage below to answer the question. To test soil pH, take a colorimetric test kit and place a half teaspoon soil on the plate. Then, add dye to the soil until it is saturated, and mix it well. Subsequently, add barium sulphate and wait for a change in color. Finally, compare the soil color with the pH color chart and record the result. Alternatively, measure soil pH using a pH meter. Firstly, fill the jar with soil without compressing it. Pour five lids of distilled water, screw the lid tight, and shake it well. Then, wash and wipe the pH meter electrode before opening the jar gently. Subsequently, immerse the electrodes in water without touching the settled sediment; then stir the solution gently and wait for the reading to stabilize before recording it. - n ANS✔ Qs

As a fish-keeper or an aquarist, you may feel squeamish looking at the murky discoloration in your aquarium. Can this foggy discoloration be due to a bacterial bloom? In a word -- yes! Ensuring that the ammonia and nitrite levels in your aquarium are at zero parts per million (ppm) is significantly important in aquarium water upkeep. Excess food in the tank begins to decay, causing ammonia and nitrates to build up, ultimately leading to bacterial growth. To avoid this, make sure that you don't overfeed your fish. Use an all- round test kit to check ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels. If the ammonia levels are high, use an ammonia removal product as quickly as possible. Change 30% to 40% of your fish tank water every week. - n ANS✔ Qs
