Q: Unit 3 Quiz 1186199 (Form E) Question 1061619 - Objective(s) 3.1.1

Read this excerpt from a passage.

Biomimicry is not cosmetic imitation. Buildings that simply look like a fish, a shell—or some other object in nature—are not using the principles of biomimicry. If a structure truly employs the principles of biomimicry, the natural features are incorporated because their designs work with the natural environment and are efficient. If one looks around to see what solutions nature has to offer, one may just be inspired to design a new, eco-friendly structure.

Q: Unit 3 Quiz 1186199 (Form E) Question 1061703 - Objective(s) 3.1.2

Read these excerpts from a passage.

When I saw my grandmother ordering gardening supplies online, it struck me that the days of brick-and-mortar shops might be doomed. Not that my grandmother is a dinosaur, mind you. She is a wizard with the remote, uses social media to stay in touch with her friends, and sends text messages with ease. However, she is certainly not of a generation that grew up with computers or the Internet.

Her purchase got me thinking about the early days of online shopping, when people were anxious about ordering merchandise from the Internet. What if the items never arrived? Was putting all my personal information online safe? Should I really disclose my credit card information to some unknown entity? Is this online company legitimate? And last but not least, who would buy something without seeing it first? But my grandmother’s transaction made it clear: online shopping has become as commonplace as brushing your teeth.

- The reading takes place in a past generation. The narrator is a grandmother who shares her thoughts about online shopping. (Incorrect. This is not the cultural context of this passage.)

Read this excerpt from a passage.

One of the most common forms of censorship in schools is banned books. Since 1982, various groups have sought to remove or restrict access to 11,300 books in our nation’s schools and libraries (Crum, 2013). Some of these titles are works of noted literary merit, such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Beloved by Toni Morrison, and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. Even the children’s picture book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak was challenged for being dark and disturbing (American Library Association, 2014). Unfortunately, when books are not allowed in schools and libraries, students are denied the opportunity to learn from them.

Q: Unit 3 Quiz 1186199 (Form E) Question 1061823 - Objective(s) 3.3.3

Read this passage.

Rocky Mountain National Park, nicknamed "Rocky," is a true marvel of the American West and contains a variety of animals, plant life, and even climates. There are four ecosystems inside Rocky Mountain National Park: riparian, montane, subalpine, and alpine tundra. You might see a moose or mule deer drinking from a pond in a riparian ecosystem, which are areas that are near streams or lakes. Riparian ecosystems can be found within the other three ecosystems. The montane ecosystem is the lowest in elevation at Rocky. There you will find ponderosa pine trees and wide-open mountain meadows, lush with wildflowers in the summer. Climb a little higher into the subalpine ecosystem, where long winters and short, cool summers make up the climate. Look high into a limber pine tree and you might spot a Clark's nutcracker, nibbling on pine seeds. Finally, the highest elevation in Rocky is the alpine tundra. Bitter cold and wind-blasted defines this ecosystem with its jagged mountain tops that are capped with snow even in late August. Each of these ecosystems has a quality all its own, but they are all interconnected, comprising a true American treasure: "Rocky."

Read this paragraph.

When my wife and I were first married, we decided to look for ways to eat more healthy food as a couple. After doing some research, we were surprised to learn how many health conditions can be related to eating unhealthy food. We started reading food labels and noticed that many items marketed as "healthy," like those that are labeled as "low fat" or "low carb," contain chemicals and preservatives designed to stay for weeks on grocery store shelves. We decided to eat more fresh, unprocessed food. We cleaned out the items in our pantry that were full of sugar, salt, or preservatives. We found sources for creating good meal plans in our quest for clean eating and found a favorite farmers market for local produce. After a few weeks of preparing fresh, healthy foods, cooking became easier, our meals were tastier, and we even felt better.
