Supporting Evidence Practice Test

Read this historical event analysis: The first successful airplane flight takes place on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The main idea is that careful testing and design improvements lead to breakthrough inventions. Orville and Wilbur Wright study gliders for years and keep detailed notes. They build a wind tunnel in 1901 to test wing shapes and measure lift. On the flight day, the Flyer stays in the air for 12 seconds and travels 120 feet. Orville later writes, “We had to learn by doing” (Wright, 1903/1953). The passage also says strong winds make the day difficult. Which piece of evidence best supports the main idea of the passage?

Read this science explanation: Photosynthesis lets plants make sugar using light, water, and carbon dioxide. The main idea is that light intensity affects how fast photosynthesis happens. In a classroom test, Jamal puts pondweed under lamps. He counts oxygen bubbles for one minute at different distances. At 10 cm, he counts 28 bubbles; at 20 cm, 17 bubbles; at 30 cm, 9 bubbles. A textbook states, “More light energy can drive more reactions, up to a limit” (National Geographic Society, 2020). The passage adds that temperature stayed the same during the test. Which detail from the passage supports the conclusion that brighter light increases photosynthesis?
