[Q]: Background: Protozoa generally feed by engulfing and digesting other organisms. As consumers, they have various roles in food chains and webs. Some are predators. They prey upon other single-celled organisms, such as bacteria. In fact, protozoa predators keep many bacterial populations under control. Other protozoa are herbivores. They graze on algae. Still others are decomposers. They consume dead organic matter. There are also parasitic protozoa that live in or on living hosts. For example, the protozoan that causes malaria lives inside a human host. Protozoa are also important food sources for many larger organisms, including insects and worms. Paragraph: George is investigating some algae that has recently started growing in his pond. He wants to find something ti prevent it from overtaking the pond as it makes it very hard to see under the water. After a bit of research he finds a protozoa that can help him. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Given the protozoa can successfully reduce the algae in the pond, is it a herbivore or a carnivore?
****
[A]: herbivore

[Q]: Background: So much rain falling so fast causes some of the damage from a hurricane. But a lot of the damage is caused by storm surge. Storm surge is very high water located in the low pressure eye of the hurricane. The very low pressure of the eye allows the water level to rise above normal sea level. Storm surge can cause flooding when it reaches land ( Figure below ). High winds do a great deal of damage in hurricanes. High winds can also create very big waves. If the large waves are atop a storm surge, the high water can flood the shore. If the storm happens to occur at high tide, the water will rise even higher. Paragraph: Two coastal cities were affected by a cat 5 Hurricane. Red city took the full impact, but Purple city, situated 40 miles inland, avoided the brunt of the damage. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which city experienced a larger storm surge?
****
[A]: Red

[Q]: Background: Biodiversity is determined by many things, and one of them is abiotic stress. If an environment is highly stressful, biodiversity tends to be low. If abiotic stress does not have a strong presence in an area, the biodiversity will be much higher.This idea leads into the understanding of how abiotic stress and endangered species are related. It has been observed through a variety of environments that as the level of abiotic stress increases, the number of species decreases. This means that species are more likely to become population threatened, endangered, and even extinct, when and where abiotic stress is especially harsh. Paragraph: Henry is currently writing a research paper for his biology class. The subject of the paper is abiotic stress. For his paper, he is analyzing two different forests of differing stress levels and writing about the differences seen in the environments. For the area with a low level of stress Henry chose the Narshe Forest, located near the mountains of Harkal. The area of high stress that Henry will be looking at is the Midgar forest. After choosing the two areas, Henry feels he deserves a break from his paper and goes to watch a baseball game. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which forest will have less biodiversity?
****
[A]: Midgar

[Q]: Background: Saturated hydrocarbons are given the general name of alkanes . The name of specific alkanes always ends in - ane . The first part of the name indicates how many carbon atoms each molecule of the alkane has. The smallest alkane is methane. It has just one carbon atom. The next largest is ethane, with two carbon atoms. The chemical formulas and properties of methane, ethane, and several other alkanes are listed in Table below . The boiling and melting points of alkanes are determined mainly by the number of carbon atoms they have. Alkanes with more carbon atoms generally have higher boiling and melting points. Paragraph: Beth and Jane studied chemistry in school. However, Beth studied noble gasses while Jane decided to know more about alkanes. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which student learned more about the smallest alkane?
****
[A]:
Jane
