4)) Read the passage. 4)) As Shane Loeffer, a geology student at the University of Minnesota, was flying home from Europe, he looked down at the landscape and began to wonder what he was flying over. He realized that a plane flight would be a good opportunity for people to learn about the geological features of the earth below them. As a result of this experience, with a grant from the National Science Foundation, he created a free app called Flyover Country. The app provides users with information on natural formations, man-made features like dams, and even where fossils can be found. The features are pinpointed on a map that corresponds to the landscape below the plane. (1)) What is the main, or central, idea of the passage? Shane Loeffer's plane flight home from Europe led him to think about the geological features of the land below him.

4)) Read the passage. 4)) William Shakespeare is widely credited with adding more than 1,700 new words to the English language in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Yet some scholars question that estimate, suggesting that some of the "new" words credited to Shakespeare may have already been in use when he incorporated them into his plays. So if Shakespeare didn't radically change the English language, then who did? According to some language experts, young women, rather than men, are actually responsible for inventing most new words. Two linguists at the University of Helsinki in Finland analyzed six thousand letters written between 1417 and 1681 . They found that female letter writers changed the way they wrote more often than their male counterparts. One reason could be that women often have more social connections than men, and social connections allow people to introduce each other to new uses of words. 4)) What is the main, or central, idea of the passage? Recent research suggests that the language changes that occurred in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries owed a great deal to female letter writers. Shakespeare is often credited with adding many new words to the English language.

4)) Read the passage. 4)) Boris Pasternak's 1956 novel Doctor Zhivago tells the story of a Russian doctor living at the time of the 1917 Russian Revolution, which led to the establishment of the Soviet Union.

In 1958, it was translated into English and went on to become one of the most popular novels of the 1950s. 4)) What is the main, or central, idea of the passage? 4)) Boris Pasternak couldn't get his book Doctor Zhivago published in the Soviet Union, so he had the book smuggled out of the country. Doctor Zhivago showed the problems that Russians faced following the Russian Revolution, so it was considered anti-Soviet. Submit

4)) Read the passage. 4)) When "Planet X " was discovered in 1930, astronomers began debating what to call it. An eleven-year-old girl named Venetia Burney suggested the name "Pluto" to her grandfather, who passed the idea along to a friend who was a professor of astronomy. The professor, in turn, immediately forwarded the suggestion to scientists at the Lowell Observatory, where the planet had been discovered. The astronomers appreciated the fact that Pluto was the ancient Romans' name for the god of the underworld, making it a fitting moniker for such a cold and distant celestial body. In addition, its first two letters matched the initials of Percival Lowell, the astronomer who first proposed the existence of Planet X. The matter was eventually put to a vote, with Pluto the hands-down winner. (1)) What is the main, or central, idea of the passage? A)) After an eleven-year-old girl suggested "Pluto," astronomers chose it as the name of a newly discovered planet. Pluto is a good name for a cold, distant planet because it is.the name of the Roman god of the underworld.

4)) Saving Sea Turtles used around the world. One of the unfortunate side effects of this method is that sea turtles, which are considered threatened, get caught in the nets along with the fish. Conservation biologists at the University of Exeter in England recently devised a way to prevent these sea turtle deaths, which they tested at a fishery in northern Peru. They found that attaching green LED lights to the nets warned the turtles away, possibly because the lights made the nets more visible. The number of sea turtle deaths was reduced, but the number of fish caught seemed to remain the same. What is the main, or central, idea of the passage? To prevent turtles from becoming caught in fishing nets, conservation biologists attached LED lights to the nets. Conservation biologists are researching ways to save the threatened sea turtle population. One problem with small-catch fishing is that sea turtles get caught along with fish.
