Draw Information From Multiple Sources Practice Test

Source A: Passage — “Weather Tools and Forecasts”

Meteorologists are scientists who study weather. They use tools to measure conditions in the air. A thermometer measures temperature. A rain gauge measures how much rain falls. An anemometer measures wind speed. When meteorologists collect data each day, they can notice patterns, such as a rainy season or a dry season. Patterns help them make better forecasts for the next week.

Source B: Table — “Daily Weather Data for One Week”

According to Source A and Source B, which tool would be most useful for explaining why plants might need extra watering during this week?

Source A: Passage — “Why Cities Have Heat Islands”

A heat island is a part of a city that gets warmer than nearby areas. Dark roofs and roads absorb sunlight and hold heat. Trees and plants can cool places because they provide shade and release water vapor. On hot days, shaded parks may feel cooler than streets with no trees. Some cities paint roofs lighter colors and plant more trees to reduce heat.

Use information from both sources to choose the location that most likely has the strongest heat island effect.
