Some researchers studying Indigenous actors and filmmakers in the United States have turned their attention to the early days of cinema, particularly the 1910s and 1920s, when people like James Young Deer, Dark Cloud, Edwin Carewe, and Lillian St. Cyr (known professionally as Red Wing) were involved in one way or another with numerous films. So many films and associated records for this era have been lost that count of those four figures’ output should be taken as bare minimums rather than totals; it’s entirely possible, for example, that ________
Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the example?
Dark Cloud acted in significantly fewer films than did Lillian St. Cyr, who is credited with 66 performances.
Edwin Carewe’s 47 credited acting roles includes only films made after 1934.
Lillian St. Cyr acted in far more than 66 films and Edwin Carewe directed more than 58.
James Young Deer actually directed 33 films and acted in only 10.
Many mosquito repellents contain natural components that work by activating multiple odor receptors on mosquitoes' antennae. As the insects develop resistance, new repellents are needed. Ke Dong and her team found that EBF, a molecular component of a chrysanthemum flower extract, can repel mosquitoes by activating just one odor receptor--and this receptor, Or31, is present in all mosquito species known to carry diseases. Therefore, the researchers suggest that in developing new repellents, it would be most useful to ______
Which choice most logically completes the text?
identify molecular components similar to EBF that target the activation of Or31 receptors.
investigate alternative methods for extracting EBF molecules from chrysanthemums.
verify the precise locations of Or31 and other odor receptors on mosquitoes' antennae.
determine the maximum number of different odor receptors that can be activated by a single molecule.
Born in 1891 to a Quechua-speaking family in the Andes Mountains of Peru, Martin Chambi is today considered to be one of the most renowned figures of Latin American photography. In a paper for an art history class, a student claims that Chambi's photographs have considerable ethnographic value--in his work, Chambi was able to capture diverse elements of Peruvian society, representing his subjects with both dignity and authenticity.
Which finding, if true, would most directly support the student's claim?
Chambi took many commissioned portraits of wealthy Peruvians, but he also produced hundreds of images carefully documenting the peoples, sites, and customs of Indigenous communities of the Andes.
Chambi's photographs demonstrate a high level of technical skill, as seen in his strategic use of illumination to create dramatic light and shadow contrasts.
During his lifetime, Chambi was known and celebrated both within and outside his native Peru, as his work was published in places like Argentina, Spain, and Mexico.
Some of the peoples and places Chambi photographed had long been popular subjects for Peruvian photographers.
