While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

* In the art world, the term biennial traditionally refers to an art exhibition that takes place every two years in a single location.
* Such biennials are held in New York, Berlin, and Venice.
* In 2006, artists Ed Gomez and Luis Hernandez founded the unconventional MexiCali Biennial.
* The MexiCali Biennial hosts exhibitions in different venues on both sides of the US-Mexico border.
* The MexiCali Biennial has taken place on an uneven schedule, with exhibitions in 2006, 2009-10, 2013, and 2018-20.

The student wants to emphasize a difference between the MexiCali Biennial and traditional biennials. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Difficulty: Medium
A:

In 2006, artists Ed Gomez and Luis Hernandez founded the MexiCali Biennial, which has taken place in 2006, 2009-10, 2013, and 2018-20.

B:

Unlike traditional biennials, the MexiCali Biennial hosts exhibitions in different venues on an uneven schedule.

C:

The term biennial traditionally refers to an art exhibition that takes place every two years in a single location, not to exhibitions hosted at a variety of times and venues.

D:

Biennial exhibitions have been held in New York, Berlin, and Venice but also on both sides of the US-Mexico border.

The number of dark spots that appear on the Sun, known as sunspots, can vary greatly. For example, there were about 180 sunspots in November 2001. ________ there were only about 2 sunspots in December 2008.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
Difficulty: Easy
A:

In other words,

B:

C:

Therefore,

D:

By comparison,

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

* Ducklings expend up to 62.8% less energy when swimming in a line behind their mother than when swimming alone.
* The physics behind this energy savings hasn't always been well understood.
* Naval architect Zhiming Yuan used computer simulations to study the effect of the mother duck's wake.
* The study revealed that ducklings are pushed in a forward direction by the wake's waves.
* Yuan determined this push reduces the effect of wave drag on the ducklings by 158%.

The student wants to present the study and its methodology. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Difficulty: Hard
A:

A study revealed that ducklings, which expend up to 62.8% less energy when swimming in a line behind their mother, also experience 158% less drag.

B:

Seeking to understand how ducklings swimming in a line behind their mother save energy, Zhiming Yuan used computer simulations to study the effect of the mother duck's wake.

C:

Zhiming Yuan studied the physics behind the fact that by being pushed in a forward direction by waves, ducklings save energy.

D:

Naval architect Zhiming Yuan discovered that ducklings are pushed in a forward direction by the waves of their mother's wake, reducing the effect of drag by 158%.
