Please read the text below and answer the following question.
A global temperature change of a few degrees is more significant than it may seem at
first glance. This is not merely a change in weather in any one location. Rather, it is an
average change in temperatures around the entire surface of the planet. It takes a
vast amount of heat energy to warm every part of our world-including oceans, air,
and land-by even a tiny measurable amount. Moreover, relatively small changes in the
earth's surface temperatures have historically caused enormous changes in climate. In
the last ice age 20,000 years ago, when much of the northern hemisphere was buried
under huge sheets of ice, mean global temperatures were only about five degrees
Celsius lower than they are now. Scientists predict a temperature rise of two to six
degrees Celsius by 2100. What if this causes similarly drastic changes to the world we
call home?
Which se - CORRECT ANSWERS - c. People should be concerned by even minor global
temperature change.

Which sentence provides another supporting detail to address the topic of the sentence
above?
a. Many young people dream of being famous writers, but authors face a difficult path to
financial success with their work.
b. May female authors have recently come forward with alarming stories of sexual
harassment, and assault by powerful members of their industry?
c. Very few contemporary authors are able to earn a living solely off their published
works, so most rely on other sources of income to pay the bills.
d. - CORRECT ANSWERS - d. Numerous studies show that both publishers and readers
are more likely to buy the same book if the author has a male name rather than a
female name.
Read the sentence below and answer the following question. Numerous robotic missions

, to Mars have revealed tantalizing evidence of a planet that may once have been
capable of supporting life.
Imagine this sentence is a supporting detail in a well-developed paragraph. Which of the
following sentences would best function as a topic sentence?
a. Venus is an intensely hot planet surrounded by clouds full of drops of sulfuric acid.
b. Of all the destinations within human reach, Mars is the planet most similar to Earth.
