Answer 1

Passage: The platypus seems weird to people because it lays eggs and is a mammal. Really, it's just a creature that's just very specialized to do what platypuses do best—swim, eat, and burrow! Living on the banks of bodies of water, the platypus burrows 50-foot long tunnels and uses its webbed feet to dog-paddle around. The bill is a streamlined nose and mouth for sniffing and snuffling up pond-bottom delicacies like shrimp! Perfectly designed for underwater life, the platypus has two layers of fur—the first is short and dense and never lets water through to the skin! The second is longer and is the layer of fur that gets wet.

Answer 2

The flat, furry tail stores fat for the long cold winter in freezing waters.
The population of platypuses has declined in areas close to Melbourne due to human population growth.

The Earth's Layers

Each layer of the Earth is different from the other layers in temperature, density, and composition. The crust is the outer layer and is relatively thin and rocky. It is made up of silicon, aluminum, calcium, sodium, and potassium. The next layer below the crust is the mantle. The mantle is a thick layer of hot liquid rock called magma. The mantle is mainly composed of silicon, oxygen, magnesium, iron, aluminum, and calcium, and it is about 1,800 miles thick. The core of the Earth is divided into the inner and outer core. The outer core is made of extremely hot liquid iron and nickel. It is about 1,425 miles thick. The inner core is composed of an incredibly hot solid iron-nickel core. The inner core remains solid because it is under such extreme pressure. It is about 750 miles in radius. The inner core may have a temperature up to about 13,000°F, which is hotter than the surface of the Sun.

The crust of the Earth is thickest under mountains and is thinnest at the ocean floor.
Scientists believe that the core of the Earth is much denser than the rest of the planet.

Answer 20

Totally B.The Earth is a giant sphere composed of four main layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.

Answer 26

I regularly purchase my lunch in the cafeteria; however, we only have one meal option each day. I would not serve some of the meals prepared in our cafeteria to wingspanroaches. Consider the school's pepperoni pizza. I am one who rarely turns down pizza, especially if it has pepperoni on it, but the pizza that our school serves is just too greasy. I even put paper napkins over the pizza in order to soak up the grease. Nevertheless, I always have a stomachache in the afternoon on pizza day. Some of my friends do not even eat lunch on pizza day because the pizza our school serves makes them feel ill too. If we had more meal options at lunch, we could choose foods that left us feeling better in the afternoons.

In 1986, Honda engineers set out to create a walking robot. Early models (E1, E2, E3) focused on developing legs that could copy the walk of a human. The next series of models was focused on walk stabilization and stair climbing. Next, a head, body and arms were added to the robot to improve balance and add movement. Honda’s first humanoid robot, P1 was rather rugged at 6’ 2” tall and 386 lbs. P2 improved with a more friendly design, improved walking, stair climbing/descending, and wireless automatic movements.

Answer 31

Answer 35

No one really thinks about where fireworks came from. The birthplace of fireworks is generally recognized as China. The first explosive mixture was black powder used during the Sung dynasty. It is said that a cook in ancient China found that a mixture of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal was very flammable. He also found that it would explode if enclosed in a small space. The first application of this technology was for entertainment. Once the recipe for black powder was perfected, they found that it was easily used as rocket fuel, and they made hand-carved wooden rockets in the shape of a dragon in the sixth century. These rockets shot rocket powered arrows from their mouth and were used against the Mongol invaders in 1279.

Answer 36

Every July fourth, Americans have a holiday from work and gather to watch a fireworks display.
Fireworks devices were involved in an estimated 8,800 injuries during the calendar year 2002.
