Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: When plants reproduce, the offspring has characteristics similar to the? A:
OPTIONS:
- grandparents
- cousins
- siblings
- parents
Answer: parents

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The partial geologic time scale in Figure below shows when some of the major events in animal evolution took place. The oldest animal fossils are about 630 million years old, so presumably animals evolved around that time or somewhat earlier. The earliest animals were aquatic invertebrates. The first vertebrates evolved around 550 million years ago. By 500 million years ago, most modern phyla of animals had evolved. The first terrestrial animals evolved about 50 million years after that. Q: The earliest animals were which kind of invertebrates? A:
OPTIONS:
- insects
- mammals
- dinosaurs
- aquatic
output: aquatic

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The last major ice age took place in the Pleistocene. This epoch lasted from 2 million to 14,000 years ago. Earth's temperature was only 5 C (9 F) cooler than it is today. But glaciers covered much of the Northern Hemisphere. In Figure below , you can see how far south they went. Clearly, a small change in temperature can have a big impact on the planet. Humans lived during this ice age. Q: The last major ice age took place in which era? A:

OPTIONS:
- miocene
- pliocene
- cenozoic
- pleistocene

A: pleistocene

input: OPTIONS:
- hydrogen
- nitrogen
- oxygen
- carbon dioxide Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The ocean is becoming increasingly polluted with trash. Ocean acidification is also occurring because ocean water dissolves some of the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The more acidic water harms aquatic organisms. Q: Ocean acidification results from the ocean absorbing what gas from the atmosphere? A:
A:
output: carbon dioxide

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Young reptiles, like the baby alligator in Figure below , look like smaller versions of the adults. They don't have a larval stage as most amphibians do. Baby reptiles are able to move and search for food but are at high risk of predation. Adult reptiles rarely provide any care for their offspring once the eggs are laid. The only exceptions are female alligators and crocodiles. They defend their eggs and hatchlings from predators and help them reach the water. Q: What developmental stage do alligators lack that most other amphibians have? A:

OPTIONS:
- Tadpole stage
- metamorphosis
- Egg Stage
- larval stage

Answer: larval stage

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In the predator-prey example, one factor limits the growth of the other factor. As the prey population deceases, the predator population is begins to decrease as well. The prey population is a limiting factor. A limiting factor limits the growth or development of an organism, population, or process. Q: What is the term for something that limits the growth or development of an organism, population, or process? A:

OPTIONS:
- controlling factor
- stumbling block
- variable
- limiting factor

A:
limiting factor
