6703. Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.Many people like to eat pizza, but not everyone knows how to make it. Making the perfect pizza can be complicated, but there are lots of ways for you to make a more basic version at home.When you make pizza, you must begin with the crust. The crust can be hard to make. If you want to make the crust yourself, you will have to make dough using flour, water, and yeast. You will have to knead the dough with your hands. If you do not have enough time to do this, you can use a prepared crust that you buy from the store.After you have chosen your crust, you must then add the sauce. Making your own sauce from scratch can take a long time. You have to buy tomatoes, peel them, and then cook them with spices. If this sounds like too much work, you can also purchase jarred sauce from the store. Many jarred sauces taste almost as good as the kind you make at home.Now that you have your crust and your sauce, you need to add the cheese. Cheese comes from milk, which comes from cows. Do you have a cow in your backyard? Do you know how to milk the cow?Do you know how to turn that milk into cheese? If not, you might want to buy cheese from the grocery store instead of making it yourself.When you have the crust, sauce, and cheese ready, you can add other toppings. Some people like to put meat on their pizza, while other people like to add vegetables. Some people even like to add pineapple! The best part of making a pizza at home is that you can customize it by adding your own favorite ingredients.As used in paragraph 1, which word means the opposite of complicated?

Moderate
  • A. Difficult
  • B. Simple
  • C. Easy
  • D. Manageable

Explanation: In paragraph 1 of the passage, the word that means the opposite of "complicated" is simple basic.Here's the reasoning:The passage states, "Making the perfect pizza can be complicated, but there are lots of ways for you to make a more basic version at home."Here, "complicated" suggests something intricate or complex, implying that making a pizza from scratch can be challenging.

6706. Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.When you imagine the desert, you probably think of a very hot place covered with sand. Although this is a good description for many deserts, Earth's largest desert is actually a very cold place covered with ice: Antarctica.In order for an area to be considered a desert, it must receive very little rainfall. More specifically, it must receive an average of less than ten inches of precipitation-which can be rain, sleet, hail, or snow-on the ground every year. Antarctica, the coldest place on earth, has an average temperature that usually falls below the freezing point. And because cold air holds less moisture than warm air, the air in Antarctica does not hold much moisture at all. This is evident in the low precipitation statistics recorded for Antarctica. For example, the central part of Antarctica receives an average of less than 2 inches of snow every year. The coastline of Antarctica receives a little bit more-between seven and eight inches a year. Because Antarctica gets so little precipitation every year, it is considered a desert.When precipitation falls in hot deserts, it quickly evaporates back into the atmosphere. The air over Antarctica is too cold to hold water vapor, so there is very little evaporation. Due to this low rate of evaporation, most of the snow that falls to the ground remains there permanently, eventually building up into thick ice sheets. Any snow that does not freeze into ice sheets becomes caught up in the strong winds that constantly blow over Antarctica. These snow-filled winds can make it look as if it is snowing. Even though snowfall is very rare there, blizzards are actually very common on Antarctica.The best title for this passage would be

Moderate
  • A. Earth's Many Deserts
  • B. Antarctica: The Coldest Place on Earth
  • C. A Desert of Ice
  • D. Unusual Blizzards

Explanation: The best title for this passage would be:"A Desert of Ice"This title captures the main focus of the passage, which is describing Antarctica as a desert despite its icy environment. It highlights the contrast between the common perception of deserts as hot and sandy with the reality that Earth's largest desert is actually a cold region covered with ice. The passage explains the criteria for classifying an area as a desert (low precipitation) and discusses how Antarctica meets these criteria despite its extreme cold temperatures. Therefore, "Antarctica: The Cold Desert" effectively summarizes the main theme and content of the passage.

Correct answer: A Desert of Ice

6707. When you imagine the desert, you probably think of a very hot place covered with sand. Although this is a good description for many deserts, Earth's largest desert is actually a very cold place covered with ice: Antarctica.In order for an area to be considered a desert, it must receive very little rainfall.

Based on the information in the passage, what characteristic must the Sahara share with Antarctica

Moderate
  • A. Low temperatures
  • B. High temperatures
  • C. Frequent blizzards
  • D. Low precipitation

Explanation: Based on the information in the passage, the characteristic that the Sahara Desert must share with Antarctica to be classified as a desert is:Receiving very little precipitation.The passage states that for an area to be considered a desert, it must receive less than ten inches of precipitation (rain, sleet, hail, or snow) on the ground every year. It emphasizes that Antarctica, despite being cold and covered with ice, is classified as a desert because it receives very little precipitation annually. Therefore, the Sahara Desert, as the second-largest desert on Earth, must also share this characteristic of receiving minimal rainfall to be classified as a desert.

Correct answer: Low precipitation

6708. Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.When you imagine the desert, you probably think of a very hot place covered with sand. Although this is a good description for many deserts, Earth's largest desert is actually a very cold place covered with ice: Antarctica.In order for an area to be considered a desert, it must receive very little rainfall.

Any snow that does not freeze into ice sheets becomes caught up in the strong winds that constantly blow over Antarctica. These snow-filled winds can make it look as if it is snowing.Even though snowfall is very rare there, blizzards are actually very common on Antarctica.In paragraph 2 the author writes, "And because cold air holds less moisture than warm air, the air in Antarctica does not hold much moisture at all." Using this information, it can be understood that

Moderate
  • A. Air in Africa holds more moisture than the air in Antarctica
  • B. Air surrounding a tropical island holds less moisture than the air in Antarctica
  • C. Air in the second floor of a house is typically warmer than air on the first floor
  • D. Air at the mountains is typically colder than the air at the beach

Explanation: Using the information provided in the passage, it can be understood that:The air in Antarctica has low moisture content due to its cold temperatures, which result in minimal evaporation and precipitation. This is because cold air has a lower capacity to hold water vapor compared to warm air. As a result, despite Antarctica receiving some precipitation (mainly in the form of snow), the cold air prevents significant moisture accumulation in the atmosphere. This condition contributes to Antarctica being classified as a desert, despite its icy landscape, because it receives very little rainfall or snowfall annually. Therefore, the statement emphasizes the relationship between cold temperatures and low moisture content in Antarctica's atmosphere.

Correct answer: Air in Africa holds more moisture than the air in Antarctica

Moderate
  • A. l only
  • B. I and II only
  • C. II and III only
  • D. I, II, and III

Explanation: Based on the passage, the correct statement about what happens to snow that falls over Antarctica is:I. becomes part of the Antarctic ice sheetThe passage mentions that most of the snow that falls on Antarctica remains permanently on the ground, eventually building up into thick ice sheets. This indicates that the snow contributes to the formation of the Antarctic ice sheet rather than evaporating or being blown away. Therefore, statement I is correct.Statements II and III are incorrect based on the passage. While it's mentioned that snow-filled winds blow over Antarctica, implying that snow is blown around by strong winds (statement II), and it's stated that evaporation of precipitation is minimal due to the cold temperatures (statement III), the passage specifically notes that most snow remains on the ground and contributes to the ice sheet. Thus, statement I is the accurate description of what happens to snowfall over Antarctica

Correct answer: l only
