6713. 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.Based on the information in the final paragraph, it can be understood that blizzards in Antarctica are mainly the result of

Moderate
  • A. Freezing cold temperatures
  • B. Large amounts of snowfall
  • C. Low amounts of precipitation
  • D. Strong winds

Explanation: Blizzards in Antarctica are mainly the result of strong winds blowing snow-filled air. The passage explains that Antarctica receives very little precipitation, mostly in the form of snow, due to its cold temperatures and low moisture-holding capacity of the air. When snow does fall, it often gets caught up in the strong winds that constantly blow over the continent. These winds carry the snow particles, creating blizzard conditions where it can appear as if it is snowing heavily, despite the low overall precipitation rate. Therefore, blizzards in Antarctica are primarily caused by these powerful, snow-filled winds.

Correct answer: Strong winds

6715. 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.The author's main purpose in writing this passage is to

Explanation: The author's main purpose in writing this passage is to provide instructions and guidance on making pizza at home. The passage outlines the steps involved in making a basic pizza, including making the crust, choosing sauce options, selecting cheese, and adding toppings. Throughout the passage, the author discusses both the option of making ingredients from scratch and using store-bought alternatives, emphasizing that making pizza at home can be customized based on personal preferences. The overall goal is to encourage and inform readers about the process of creating a homemade pizza.

Correct answer: Outline steps to make a basic pizza at home

Explanation: Customize (verb): to build according to personal preferences or tastes.In order to answer this question correctly, it helps to use context.

After the author says this, he or she continues to give examples: some people like to add vegetables, meat, or even pineapple. Since the author tells us that different people like different things on their pizza, we can understand that the choice of toppings is personal, or special for each person. Therefore, you can customize things to make them personal. This lets us know that (A) is correct. The passage does not provide information to support choices (B), (C), and (D). Therefore they are incorrect.

The best part of making a pizza at home is that you can customize it by adding your own favorite ingredients.In paragraph 4, the author asks a series of questions in order to

Moderate
  • A. Support the idea that most people cannot make homemade cheese
  • B. Reinforce the idea that most people probably live on farms
  • C. Prove that store-bought cheese tastes better than homemade cheese
  • D. Emphasize the superiority of homemade cheese over store bought cheese

Explanation: In paragraph 4, the author asks the reader, "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?" The author thinks that he or she knows the answer to these questions. The author thinks that you probably do not have a cow in your backyard, do not know how to milk a cow, and do not know how to turn milk in cheese. After all, not many people would answer these questions positively. Given that the author expects that most people would not answer positively to these questions, then it is fair to assume that most people are unable to make home-made cheese. The author's question is intended to be rhetorical, or perhaps even sarcastic. This means choice (A) is correct. The passage does not provide information to support choices (B), (C), and (D). Therefore they are incorrect.

Correct answer: Support the idea that most people cannot make homemade cheese

Moderate
  • A. Forget
  • B. Buy
  • C. Ask
  • D. Cook

Explanation: purchase (verb): to acquire through the payment of money or its equivalent; to buy. The question asks us to find the best synonym. Synonyms are words that have nearly the same meanings. The author tells us that if making homemade tomato sauce sounds like too much work, we can "purchase jarred sauce from the store." Using context, we can understand that another word for purchase is buy. If you are unfamiliar with the word "purchase," you might still be able to guess that people usually go to a store in order to buy things. Choice (B) is correct. The passage does not provide information to support choices (A), (C), and (D). Therefore they are incorrect.

Moderate
  • A. Although the crust, sauce, and toppings are all important ingredients in pizza, it is clear that the cheese is most important. Therefore, be sure your cheese is homemade.

Using this information, we can understand that (D) is correct. (A) is incorrect because the passage does not provide information to support the idea that cheese is the most important ingredient in pizza. Although the author does advise against making your own ingredients, this is not the main idea of the passage. Therefore (B) is incorrect. The author does not talk about the cost of making pizza in this passage. Therefore (C) is incorrect.

Correct answer: Once you have prepared the crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings, you are ready to bake your pizza. I think you will see that making pizza at home can be a good alternative to purchasing it from the store.

6720. Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.When you imagine the desert, you probably think of a very hot place covered with sand.

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.

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.As used in paragraph 2, which is the best definition for precipitation?

Moderate
  • A. Moisture in the air that falls to the ground
  • B. Any type of weather event
  • C. Weather events that only happen in very cold areas
  • D. A blizzard that occurs in areas with limited snowfall

Explanation: Precipitation (noun): moisture in the air that falls to the ground. In paragraph 2, the author states that precipitation "can be rain, sleet, hail, or snow." All of these are forms of air moisture that falls to the ground. Using this information, we can understand that (A) is the correct choice. Although rain, sleet, hail, and snow are all types of weather events, the phrase "any type of weather" is too general, as it may include other types of weather such as high wind, clouds, heat, humidity, etc. Therefore (B) is incorrect. Even though it is very cold in Antarctica, rain can fall in any climate. This means precipitation isn't specific to very cold areas. This eliminates (C). (D) is incorrect because a blizzard that occurs in areas with limited snowfall is only something that happens in extremely cold, windy places like Antarctica, and is not representative of precipitation in general

Correct answer: Moisture in the air that falls to the ground
