[Q]: Background: They feed on living hosts. As parasites , fungi live in or on other organisms and get their nutrients from their host. Parasitic fungi use enzymes to break down living tissue, which may causes illness in the host. Disease-causing fungi are parasitic. Recall that parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship between organisms of different species in which one, the parasite, benefits from a close association with the other, the host, which is harmed. Paragraph: Two botanists had different interests, Mike studied only trees and flowers, while Chris was fascinated with studying fungi. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which botanist learned less about parasitism?
****
[A]: Mike

[Q]: Background: Wildfire intensity increases during daytime hours. For example, burn rates of smoldering logs are up to five times greater during the day because of lower humidity, increased temperatures, and increased wind speeds. Sunlight warms the ground during the day and causes air currents to travel uphill, and downhill during the night as the land cools. Wildfires are fanned by these winds and often follow the air currents over hills and through valleys. United States wildfire operations revolve around a 24-hour fire day that begins at 10:00 a.m. because of the predictable increase in intensity resulting from the daytime warmth. Paragraph: Idaho and Utah had many wildfires. Idaho had more wildfires during the day, while Utah had wildfires occur at night. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which state has fewer wildfires resulting from the daytime warmth?
****
[A]: Utah

[Q]: Background: Soil is well developed in the forest as suggested by the thick humus layers, rich diversity of large trees and animals that live there. In forests, precipitation exceeds evapotranspiration which results in an excess of water that percolates downward through the soil layers. Slow rates of decomposition leads to large amounts of fulvic acid, greatly enhancing chemical weathering. The downward percolation, in conjunction with chemical weathering leaches magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), and aluminum (Al) from the soil and transports them downward, a process known as podzolization. This process leads to marked contrasts in the appearance and chemistry of the soil layers. Paragraph: Two brothers owned two adjacent parcels of land. Tom's land was forested, while Bill's was covered with grasslands. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which parcel of land had a rich diversity of large trees?
****
[A]: Tom's

[Q]: Background: If all the other factors influencing humidity remain constant, at ground level the relative humidity rises as the temperature falls. This is because less vapor is needed to saturate the air, so vapor condenses as the temperature falls. In normal conditions, the dew point temperature will not be greater than the air temperature because relative humidity cannot exceed 100%.[4] Paragraph: Sam lived in Chicago for many years and experienced those high humidity days during the summer, the Indian summers in October and harsh and humid winters, so he decided to move to San Diego, in a warmer and much dryer climate. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which city has a less precipitation during winter?
****
[A]:
San Diego
