Problem:Passage: The appointment and confirmation of Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States involves several steps set forth by the United States Constitution, which have been further refined and developed by decades of tradition. Candidates are nominated by the President of the United States and must face a series of hearings in which both the nominee and other witnesses make statements and answer questions before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which can vote to send the nomination to the full United States Senate. Confirmation by the Senate allows the President to formally appoint the candidate to the court.

Question: Based on this passage, who approves the appointment of a supreme court justice?
Solution:OK... The important part for answering this question is: Confirmation by the Senate allows the President to formally appoint the candidate to the court.
the Senate.

Student A:Passage: The femur is the only bone in the upper leg. The two femurs converge medially toward the knees, where they articulate with the proximal ends of the tibiae. The angle of convergence of the femora is a major factor in determining the femoral-tibial angle. Human females have wider pelvic bones, causing their femora to converge more than in males. In the condition genu valgum (knock knee) the femurs converge so much that the knees touch one another. The opposite extreme is genu varum (bow-leggedness). In the general population of people without either genu valgum or genu varum, the femoral-tibial angle is about 175 degrees.

Question: Based on this passage, where is the femur located in your body?
Student B:OK... This is the relevant information: The femur is the only bone in the upper leg.
in the upper leg.

Student A:The three major constituents of air, and therefore of Earth's atmosphere, are nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. Water vapor accounts for roughly 0.25 % of the atmosphere by mass. The concentration of water vapor (a greenhouse gas) varies significantly from around 10 ppm by volume in the coldest portions of the atmosphere to as much as 5 % by volume in hot, humid air masses, and concentrations of other atmospheric gases are typically quoted in terms of dry air (without water vapor). The remaining gases are often referred to as trace gases, among which are the greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Filtered air includes trace amounts of many other chemical compounds. Many substances of natural origin may be present in locally and seasonally variable small amounts as aerosols in an unfiltered air sample, including dust of mineral and organic composition, pollen and spores, sea spray, and volcanic ash. Various industrial pollutants also may be present as gases or aerosols, such as chlorine (elemental or in compounds), fluorine compounds and elemental mercury vapor. Sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide (SO) may be derived from natural sources or from industrial air pollution.

Answer this question based on the passage: what are the main components of earth's atmosphere?
Student B:OK... This is the relevant information: The three major constituents of air, and therefore of Earth's atmosphere, are nitrogen, oxygen, and argon.
nitrogen , oxygen , and argon.

Problem:Slow-wave sleep (SWS), often referred to as deep sleep, consists of stage three (combined stages 3 and 4) of non-rapid eye movement sleep. Initially, SWS consisted of both Stage 3, which has 20-50 percent delta wave activity, and Stage 4, which has more than 50 percent delta wave activity. However, as of 2008, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has discontinued the use of Stage four as a separate stage. Thus, the two stages are now combined as "Stage three" or N3. An epoch (30 seconds of sleep) which consists of 20 % or more slow-wave (delta) sleep is now considered to be stage three.

Which stage of sleep is represented by delta waves?
Solution:OK... The relevant information to answer the above question is: An epoch (30 seconds of sleep) which consists of 20 % or more slow-wave (delta) sleep is now considered to be stage three.
three.
