Implementing carbon capture technologies can help remove existing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Encouraging individual lifestyle changes is important but may have a more limited impact compared to systemic changes. Planting trees contributes to carbon sequestration but may be less effective on its own due to limitations in scale and time. It's important to note that the effectiveness of these actions can vary based on context, and a combination of strategies is often necessary to tackle climate change comprehensively.",

    "question": "In literature, the concept of 'unreliable narrator' is an important narrative device. Consider these points:\n\n• An unreliable narrator is a character whose credibility is compromised.\n• This narrative technique can be used to create suspense, humor, or complexity in a story.\n• Unreliable narrators may be deliberately deceptive, or simply misinformed or biased.\n• The reader must discern the truth by reading between the lines of the narrator's account.\n• Famous examples include the narrators in 'The Tell-Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe and 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger.\n• This technique challenges readers to engage more critically with the text.\n\nHow might an author use an unreliable narrator to enhance a mystery novel?",
    "options": [
      "By providing all the facts clearly and objectively to the reader",
      "By creating confusion and doubt about the events being narrated",
      "By using multiple narrators to tell the same story",
      "By avoiding any plot twists or surprises in the narrative"
    ],
    "answer": "By creating confusion and doubt about the events being narrated",
    "explanation": "This answer correctly applies the concept of an unreliable narrator to a mystery novel. By creating confusion and doubt, the author can enhance the mystery and suspense, forcing readers to question the information they're given.

    "question": "As a cultural historian, you're analyzing the Statue of Liberty. Consider these points:\n\n• Colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island, New York Harbor\n• Gift from France to the United States in 1886\n• Symbolizes freedom and democracy\n• Designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi\n• Torch is a prominent feature, replaced in 1986\n\nCompare the Statue of Liberty's intended symbolism at its creation with its evolving significance over time. How has its meaning changed or remained consistent in American culture?",
    "options": [
      "The Statue's symbolism of freedom has remained constant, but its interpretation has broadened to include immigration.",
      "Originally a symbol of Franco-American friendship, the Statue now primarily represents American ideals of liberty.",
      "The Statue's meaning has shifted from a political statement to a more universal symbol of hope and opportunity.",
      "While still embodying freedom, the Statue has become a complex symbol reflecting America's changing national identity."
    ],
    "answer": "While still embodying freedom, the Statue has become a complex symbol reflecting America's changing national identity.",
    "explanation": "This answer best captures the evolution of the Statue of Liberty's significance. It acknowledges the consistency in its core symbolism of freedom while also recognizing how its meaning has grown more nuanced over time. The phrase 'complex symbol' suggests that the Statue has accumulated additional layers of meaning, and 'reflecting America's changing national identity' indicates that these changes are tied to broader shifts in American culture and self-perception. This interpretation offers the most comprehensive view of the Statue's enduring yet evolving significance in American culture.",
