Q: In what state do ionic compounds best conduct electricity? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Solid ionic compounds are poor conductors of electricity. The strong bonds between ions lock them into place in the crystal. However, in the liquid state, ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity. Most ionic compounds dissolve easily in water. When they dissolve, they separate into individual ions. The ions can move freely, so they are good conductors of electricity. Dissolved ionic compounds are called electrolytes. Choices: - gas - solid - plasma - liquid A:
liquid

Q: What is the process called in which living things produce offspring? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: All living things are capable of reproduction.

This is the first reaction of the body to tissue damage or infection. As explained in Figure below , the response is triggered by chemicals called cytokines and histamines , which are released when tissue is injured or infected. The chemicals communicate with other cells and coordinate the inflammatory response. You can see an animation of the inflammatory response at this link: http://www. sumanasinc. com/webcontent/animations/content/inflammatory. html . Choices: - defensive - harmful - retaliatory - inflammatory A:
