- Using both sources, which plant is the best choice for a small garden bed that gets only about 4 hours of sunlight each day?
Answer: Lettuce, because it needs less sunlight and less space than tomatoes.
The table shows lettuce needs only about 3 to 4 hours of sun and a little space, so it fits a small bed with about 4 hours of sun. Choice D matches both sources, so it is correct. Choice A picks the plant that needs the most space, Choice B says carrots need 8 hours (the table says about 6), and Choice C wrongly claims tomatoes need little sun, so none fits the bed.
- Based on Source A and Source B, which part of the flower is most directly connected to the pollen that pollinators carry?
Answer: Anther
The anther is the part of a flower that makes and holds pollen, so it is most directly connected to the pollen that pollinators pick up and carry. Choice A is correct. The stigma receives pollen (Choice B), the stem holds the flower up (Choice C), and the petal attracts pollinators (Choice D), so none is where the pollen comes from.
- Use Source A and Source B to choose the best place to add a new paper recycling bin. Which choice is best?
Answer: Near the copy room, because paper is used often and the most paper was collected there.
Source A says to place a bin where that material is used the most. Source B shows the copy room collected the most paper, 450 sheets, so it is the best spot for a new paper bin. The gym choice is wrong because the gym collected plastic bottles, not paper, so its total does not help paper. The main office did collect paper, but only 75 sheets, far less than the copy room, so it is not the best place. The cafeteria choice ignores the data entirely because the cafeteria collected cans, not paper. Only the copy room uses both sources to match the most paper with the right spot.
- Use Source A and Source B to choose the statement that is supported by both sources.
Answer: Migration can take a lot of energy, and some animals travel thousands of miles.
Source A says migration uses a lot of energy, and Source B shows animals traveling thousands of miles (the Arctic tern goes 11,000), so both sources support Choice C. It is correct. Choice A gives the whale's reason to the tern, Choice B is not stated for the butterfly, and Choice D is disproved by the different distances in the table, so none is supported by both.
