The visit to the National Science Exhibition was a really rewarding experience. Since I was a kid I have been always attracted to science, specifically chemistry, because I have always had a lot of questions about how everything is composed. In the Exhibition I could see many experiments which show in an easy way how to understand chemistry in a simple way, for example I learnt how to turn on a lightbulb with copper and a potatoe.
This event opened my mind and now I am sure I want to be a scientist.
B. Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
This question is incomplete because it does not attach the excerpts. You forgot to attach the text titled "Amazing Plants" and the text title "Trapped by a Predator."
Without the texts, we cannot read what is the content.
However, trying to help you we did some deep research and can comment on the following.
The information that the reader learns from "Amazing Plants" that is missing in "Trapped by a Predator" is a description of the pitcher plant.
In the excerpt "Amazing Plants,<em>"the author refers to the pitcher plan as follows: Pitcher plants are another quiet carnivore. The plants are long, pitcher-like tube shapes, with wide bottoms full of water to catch and digest their prey. Pitcher plants use different strategies to attract prey. Some give off sweet smells, while others produce nectar. Pitchers have been known to consume anything from insects to small lizards and rodents."</em>
In the excerpt "Trapped by a Predator," the author focuses more on his personal experience of how he became interested in Botanics and plants when as a child he was on a trip to Willington. North Carolina.
Answer:
skimming the passage, we’ll find “some critics” mentioned in the third sentence. Indeed, this sentence actually continues to advance Bigsby’s view mentioned in the previous sentence (that Hansberry’s work has “unintentional” irony” that the author seems to reject (stating that we should accept her irony as “deliberate social commentaries”). This third sentence continues to elaborate and broaden the critical view to other critics. The next sentence contains the words “for example,” so that must be the one, right?! Nope. This is the trap; the question specifically mentioned “examples” ad does this fourth sentence of the paragraph, but the “examples” need to refute this view, and the example in the fourth sentence is an example of the critical view the author disagreed with.
Explanation:
An important thing to keep in mind about the Reading Comprehension section of the GRE as we use PowerPrep online to study is that it is just that—reading comprehension. In other words, as difficult as it may seem, and it can be pretty tricky, the test makers will always give us all the information we need in the passage to answer the question. Select-in-passage questions, like number 8 on the second Verbal section of practice test 1, may look different than other questions, but they abide by the same rule.
Select-in-passage questions are unique to the GRE, but that shouldn’t scare us. In fact, a good thing about them is that we can approach each one the same way: we need to read the question carefully in order to find out what criteria our sentence needs to meet. Then, we need to search the passage for a sentence that fits that criteria—ok, admittedly this is sometimes more easily said than done, but we should keep in mind that our question may even give us extra clues as to where to look.
Answer:
I believe the answer is B
