Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "The development of the Bronx is directly connected to its strategic location between New England and New York (Manhattan).

I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "A solar balloon is a black balloon that is filled with ordinary air.

Ans: Which of the following is not a characteristic of solar balloons: payload-weight, surface area, or market?

I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "Different pieces of wood cut from a large tree may differ decidedly, particularly if the tree is big and mature. In some trees, the wood laid on late in the life of a tree is softer, lighter, weaker, and more even-textured than that produced earlier, but in other trees, the reverse applies. This may or may not correspond to heartwood and sapwood. In a large log the sapwood, because of the time in the life of the tree when it was grown, may be inferior in hardness, strength, and toughness to equally sound heartwood from the same log. In a smaller tree, the reverse may be true."?
Ans: what may be different especially if the tree is big
