A: The more carbon atoms there are, the greater the number of possible arrangements of carbon atoms. Having read the above passage, choose the right answer to the following question (choices are increase or decrease ): If Mona is manipulating carbon atoms in her science lab and she increases the number of carbon atoms she has to work with, what happens to the number of possible arrangements the carbon atoms can take increase or decrease?
increase

The bigger the waves are and the more sediment they carry, the more erosion they cause. Having read the above passage, choose the right answer to the following question (choices are more or less ): Karly is studying two rivers and how they are affecting the rock around them.

Q: The development of better missiles fostered better rocket technologies. Having read the above passage, choose the right answer to the following question (choices are decreases or increases ): If Mona works in a defense lab and her company develops better missiles, what happens to the advancement of rocket technologies decreases or increases?
A: increases

Question: Alkanes with more carbon atoms have higher boiling and melting points, so some of them are solids at room temperature. Having read the above passage, choose the right answer to the following question (choices are alkane with fewer carbon atoms or alkane with more carbon atoms? ): Kathy did some experiments on two different alkanes and one of the alkanes had twice as many carbon atoms than the other. She would notice that which alkane would require a lower temperature to melt alkane with fewer carbon atoms or alkane with more carbon atoms??
Answer: alkane with fewer carbon atoms

*Question*
Thicker wires offer less resistance. Having read the above passage, choose the right answer to the following question (choices are first type of wire or second type of wire ): Chris is trying to rewire his home. He wants to install wiring that has the greatest resistance. He has two choice of wires. the first type of wire is 12 gauge. The second type of wire is thicker at 16 gauge. The wire that offers the most resistance will be the first type of wire or second type of wire?
**Answer**
second type of wire

Because these isotopes decay more slowly, they can be used to date much older specimens. Having read the above passage, choose the right answer to the following question (choices are older or younger ): Ron is trying to figure out how old some isotopes are. The isotopes are decaying very quickly, so they are likely specimens that are older or younger?
younger
