Use the graph below to answer the question.
What is the unit rate per crate?
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
The correct answer is (D).
Let's break this down step by step:
A unit rate is one of the most practical concepts in mathematics. The word "unit" always means "one," so a unit rate tells us how much of something happens per ONE of something else. In this problem, we need to find how many minutes it takes to pick ONE crate of cherries.
Looking at the graph in the image, we can see:
This graph shows a proportional relationship between the number of crates picked and the time in minutes. The more crates you pick, the more time it takes.
The question asks for the unit rate per crate. This means we need to find out how many minutes it takes to pick exactly ONE crate of cherries. We're looking for the time (in minutes) when the number of crates equals 1.
To find the unit rate, we need to look at what happens when x = 1 (one crate).
Start at the number 1 on the x-axis (the horizontal axis at the bottom). Draw an imaginary line straight up from this point until you hit the graphed line (as shown by the orange line in the reference image). Then, from that point on the graph, draw an imaginary line horizontally to the left until you reach the y-axis. Read the value on the y-axis.
When we do this, we see that when x = 1 crate, y = 3 minutes.
This tells us directly that it takes 3 minutes to pick 1 crate of cherries.
We can double-check our answer by using any other point on the graph and calculating the unit rate from it.
Looking at the graph, we can see another clear point. When x = 2 crates, y = 6 minutes (as shown by the green line in the reference image).
This means it takes 6 minutes to pick 2 crates. Now let's calculate the unit rate:
6 minutes for 2 crates can be written as: 6 minutes / 2 crates
To find the rate for 1 crate, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 2:
So the unit rate is 3 minutes per 1 crate, or simply 3 minutes per crate.
The unit rate is 3 minutes per crate. This means that for every single crate of cherries picked, it takes 3 minutes.
Answer (A) is incorrect because 0.33 minutes per crate would mean it takes only about 20 seconds (one-third of a minute) to pick a crate of cherries, which is not what the graph shows. This answer might come from reading the graph incorrectly and dividing in the wrong direction (1 crate ÷ 3 minutes instead of 3 minutes ÷ 1 crate).
Answer (B) is incorrect because 1 minute per crate would mean that each crate takes exactly 1 minute to pick. If we look at the graph at x = 1, the y-value is clearly 3, not 1. Also, if the unit rate were 1 minute per crate, then 2 crates would take 2 minutes, but the graph shows 2 crates take 6 minutes.
Answer (C) is incorrect because 2.5 minutes per crate does not match the graph. If we check: at x = 2 crates, the graph shows y = 6 minutes. If the rate were 2.5 minutes per crate, then 2 crates would take 2 × 2.5 = 5 minutes, not 6 minutes. This answer doesn't align with any point on the graphed line.
Answer (D) is correct because when we read the graph at x = 1 crate, the corresponding y-value is 3 minutes. This gives us the unit rate of 3 minutes per crate. We can also verify this by taking any other point on the graph (such as 6 minutes for 2 crates) and dividing both values by the number of crates to get 3 minutes per 1 crate.
Answer (E) is incorrect because 3.5 minutes per crate is too high. Looking at the graph at x = 1 crate, the y-value is clearly at 3, not 3.5. If the rate were 3.5 minutes per crate, then 2 crates would take 7 minutes, but the graph clearly shows 2 crates take 6 minutes.
Read the sentence, then answer the question.
What is the meaning of the Greek root phil?
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
The correct answer is (C).
Let's break this down step by step:
A root is the core part of a word that carries the main meaning. Think of it as the foundation of a house - everything else is built on top of it. Roots cannot usually stand alone as words in English, but they combine with other word parts to create complete words.
Many English words are built from roots that come from ancient languages, particularly Latin and Greek. These ancient roots have been used for thousands of years to create new words, especially in science, medicine, and academic fields.
For example:
When you encounter a root you don't recognize, you can use three helpful strategies:
1. Check for other prefixes, suffixes, and roots in the same word. For example, in the word hydrophilic, you might recognize that the root "hydro" means water.
2. If the question gives you the word in the context of a sentence or paragraph, look for clues in the text surrounding the word, piecing together meanings with the answer choices. For example, the words "attracted to water" can give you a clue that the prefix phil is related to attraction, and attraction is related to love.
3. Try to think of other words that share the same root.
Only answer (C) makes logical sense when we plug it into the words we already know.
Answer (A) is incorrect because "phil" does not mean "new." The Greek root for "new" is actually "neo" (as in neonatal, meaning newborn, or neologism, meaning a newly created word).
Answer (B) is incorrect because "phil" does not mean "many." The Greek root for "many" is "poly" (as in polygon, meaning a shape with many sides, or polyglot, meaning someone who speaks many languages).
Answer (C) is correct. The root "phil" (or "phile" at the end of words) consistently means love, affection, fondness, or strong attraction to something. When you see this root, the word is describing someone or something that loves or is attracted to whatever the other part of the word describes.
Structure pattern: [Thing] + phil/phile = lover of [thing]
Book + phile = bibliophile (book lover)
Music + phil = music lover (as in philharmonic)
Answer (D) is incorrect because "phil" does not mean "opinion." The Greek root for "opinion" is "dox", as in orthodox, meaning holding established beliefs.
Read the sentence.
A molecule is approximately one million times smaller than a grain of sand.
Which word is modified by the adjective "smaller"?
Correct!
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
The correct answer is (A).
Let's Break This Down Step by Step
An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. It tells us more information about the noun, such as its size, color, shape, quality, or quantity. Adjectives answer questions like "What kind?" "Which one?" "How many?" or "How much?"
For example:
The three enormous, silver Japanese robots stood proudly in the dusty arena, their broken arms still raised in a final, defiant salute.
“three”, “enormous”, “silver”, “Japanese” describe the robots, “dusty" describes the arena, and “broken” and “defiant” describe the robots’ arms, helping the reader clearly picture the scene.
Let's look at the sentence carefully:
"A molecule is approximately one million times smaller than a grain of sand."
Let's identify the main parts:
This sentence is making a comparison. It tells us how the molecule relates to a grain of sand in terms of size.
Since our adjective is "smaller," ask: "What is smaller?"
When we ask this question and look at the sentence, the answer becomes clear: The molecule is smaller (when compared to a grain of sand). The adjective "smaller" gives us information about the molecule's size relative to something else.
When a linking verb like “is” is followed by an adjective, that adjective describes the subject of the sentence. Here, "smaller" follows “is” and describes the subject molecule, not the grain of sand or any other word.
Let's quickly identify the role of the other words in the sentence:
Answer (A) is correct because the adjective "smaller" modifies the noun "molecule." You can figure this out by asking "What is smaller?" It is the molecule that is smaller.
Answer (B) is incorrect because the adjective "smaller" does not modify the verb "is." An adjective can only modify a noun or pronoun. An adjective cannot modify a verb.
Answer (C) is incorrect because the adjective "smaller" does not modify the noun "times." It does not tell us anything about "times" in the sentence. Rather, "times" is part of an adverbial phrase - "approximately one million times" - that modifies the adjective "smaller," indicating specifying how much smaller.
Answer (D) is incorrect because the adjective "smaller" does not modify the noun "grain," as it is not telling us anything about the grain of sand directly. It is the molecule that is said to be "smaller" than the grain, not the grain that is said to be smaller than the molecule.
Stimulus: A student pushes a 5 kg box across a smooth floor by applying a force of 20 N. A second student then places a 5 kg weight on top of the box, and the same 20 N force is applied again.
Question: What will happen to the acceleration of the box after the weight is added?
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
The correct answer is C.
According to Newton's Second Law, acceleration = Force ÷ Mass (a = F/m). The applied force stays at 20 N, but the total mass increases from 5 kg to 10 kg. Therefore, the acceleration decreases from 4 m/s² to 2 m/s².
Answer A is incorrect because mass affects acceleration even when force is constant.
Answer B is incorrect — greater mass reduces, not increases, acceleration for the same force.
Answer D is incorrect because the force is not 'shared'; it acts on the whole system.
