Q #1: Letter from the Chair of Elkinsville Ecological Society Many of you have heard about the proposed northward expansion of the interstate, which currently ends just south of Elkinsville, in the recent debate over how this work will go forward, the focus has been on weighing economic costs and benefits. Indeed, many local politicians claim to favor the project because it will bring jobs in the short term and more visitors to Elkinsville in the long term. These politicians also argue that the proposed plan is the least environmentally damaging way to expand the highway farther upstate. This cannot be true, however, since the proposed expansion involves not just the widening of existing roads, but also the construction of more than a dozen miles of new-terrain highway     Which of the following statements can be supported by evidence from the passage?

A. Politicians in Elkinsville will win their efforts to approve the northern expansion of the interstate highway.

B. A detailed environmental study of the northern expansion of the interstate has been conducted by the Elkinsville Ecological Society.

C. There are no Elkinsville Environmental Society members among the city's politicians

D. The Elkinsville Ecological Society will continue to oppose the northern expansion of the interstate.

Answer Explanation

This is evident from the passage where the Chair of the Elkinsville Ecological Society expresses disagreement with the claim that the proposed expansion is the least environmentally damaging way to expand the highway, citing concerns about the construction of new-terrain highway.
Q #2: What is all this talk of cicadas lately in the United States? You might be wondering why the media has featured it, but in fact, the discussion about cicadas has emerged about as predictably as the cicadas themselves from their underground refuge. Let's get oriented with some background on cicadas. What is a cicada? A typical definition will at least tell you that the cicada is a large, loud insect with long transparent wings, mostly found in warm countries. A more detailed response might also inform you that cicadas have short antennae and wide-set eyes that jut out, with delicate, translucent wings and that not only is the cicada loud, but few creatures make a louder sound. In fact, it is male cicadas that are the noisy ones, to the tune of 80 to 100 decibels, which is like the roar of a loud engine. This is because male cicadas make a strident, high buzzing by vibrating two membranes on its abdomen called tymbals, effectively turning its body into a kind of echo chamber or drum, Female cicadas cannot replicate the buzzing, though they respond with a clicking sound when they are ready to mate. Although there are several species of cicada, mating typically takes place in trees whereafter the female deposits the eggs into the bark. Wher the eggs hatch, the larval cicadas, called nymphs, drop to the ground and burrow. They then live as nymphs for most of their lives over 6 feet underground, with both male and female cicadas dying within weeks of their emergence from the soil. This is particularly true for North American cicadas, especially the Magicicodo, or periodical cicadas, which regularly emerge in intervals of 13 or 17 years, depending on the species and the location. This is why talk of cicadas in the media is as predictable as their emergence in the US. Which of the following perspectives can be inferred from the passage?

A. Cicadas and public interest about cicadas are inexplicable.

B. Cicadas and public interest about cicadas are inspirational

C. Cicadas and public interest about cicadas are cyclical,

D. Cicadas and public interest about cicadas are global

Answer Explanation

This inference can be drawn from the passage's mention of the predictability of cicadas' emergence from underground and the regular intervals at which periodical cicadas emerge. Additionally, the passage notes that the discussion about cicadas in the media emerges predictably, suggesting a cyclical pattern of public interest in cicadas.
