Answer the following question given this paragraph: Scientists create models with computers. Computers can handle enormous amounts of data. This can more accurately represent the real situation. For example, Earth's climate depends on an enormous number of factors. Climate models can predict how climate will change as certain gases are added to the atmosphere. To test how good a model is, scientists might start a test run at a time in the past. If the model can predict the present it is probably a good model. It is more likely to be accurate when predicting the future. Q: What technology do scientists use to create models? Choices: - calculators - patterns - microscopes - computers A:
computers

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Modern plants that live in water are called aquatic plants . Living in water has certain advantages for plants. One advantage is, well, the water. There's plenty of it and it's all around. Therefore, most aquatic plants do not need adaptations for absorbing, transporting, and conserving water. They can save energy and matter by not growing extensive root systems, vascular tissues, or thick cuticle on leaves. Support is also less of a problem because of the buoyancy of water. As a result, adaptations such as strong woody stems and deep anchoring roots are not necessary for most aquatic plants. Q: What type of plants do not typically require deep roots or woody stems? Choices: - surface plants - dry plants - bacterial plants - aquatic plants A:
aquatic plants
