In what is now Washington state, the Tulalip Cultural Center. Relying on traditional knowledge to guide the design of exhibits, this institution present Tulalip history and culture to the tribe's citizens. The Citizen Potawatomi Nation, a tribe in Oklahoma, employs a similar strategy in its own cultural center. Both centers contrast with museums that aren't Indigenous-led; when displaying Indigenous artifacts, such museums tend to anticipate mainly non-Indigenous audiences and rely on Euro-centric strategies for designing exhibits.
Which best describes the overall structure of the text?

AIt discusses two cultural centers operated by tribes, then compares them with non-Indigenous institutions that present Indigenous exhibits.
BIt describes how tribal cultural centers designed exhibits of aparticular set of artifacts, then analyzes how non-Indigenous institutions designed exhibits of the same artifacts.
CIt outlines an early strategy for exhibit design used by one tribal cultural center, then explain a newer strategy used by a different tribal cultural center.
DIt examines how tribal citizens responded to exhibits at tribal cultural centers,then speculates how non-Indigenous audiences would respond to the same exhibits.

Luang Prabang has high pedestrian traffic, but simply replicating a feature of Luang Prabang associated with walkability-e.g., its human-scaled architecture-may be insufficient to induce increased walking in other cities. As urbanist Mariela Alfonzo argues, our understanding of individuals' decision-making about whether to walk is insufficiently robust: some studies emphasize the role of local norms, others the role of demographic characteristics, and so on, but walking decisions are made in complex context in which multiple conditions and needs inform individuals choices.

Which choice best states the main purpose of the text?

ATo describe the effect of human-scaled architecture on anygiven city's walkability

BTo explain why it is challenging to compare the amount ofpedestrian traffic in different cities

The groundbreaking Negro Ensemble Company (NEC), founded in 1967, produced Paul Carter Harrison's award-winning play The Great MacDaddy in 1974. The company was cofounded by Robert Hooks, an actor, producer, and activist, and actor and playwright Douglas Turner Ward, who had met while performing in a 1960 touring production of Lorraine Hansberry's play A Raisin in the Sun. They shared a vision of a theater company that would nurture and showcase the work of Black theater professionals. Since its beginning, NEC has provided a forum for the voices of Harrison and other Black playwrights through workshops and performances.

Additives contain cerium oxide nanoparticles(CeO₂ -NPs),which can leach into waterways and soils via wastewater.In a 2015 study,Mael Garaud and colleagues found that CeO₂ -NPs can accumulate in the bodies of zebra mussels(Dreissena polymorpha). While bioaccumulation of manufactured nanoparticles may be inherently worrisome,it has been hypothesized that CeO₂ -NPs bioaccumulation in invertebrate like D.polymorpha could serve a valuable proxy role,observing the need for manufacturers to conduct costly and intrusive sampling of vertebrate species-such as rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss),commonly used in regulatory compliance testing-for manipulative bioaccumulation,as environmental protection laws currently require.

Which finding, if true, would most directly weaken the hypothesis presented in the text?

AWhen D.polymorpha and O.mykiss are exposed to similar levels of CeO₂ -NPs, concentrations of CeO₂-NPs in animals of both species show little variation from individual to individual.BThe rate of CeO₂ -NPs uptake in D.polymorpha differs from the rate of CeO₂ -NPs uptake in O.mykiss in a way that is not vet well understood by researchers.CD.polymorpha has been shown to accumulate several other types of manufactured nanoparticles in addition to CeO₂- NPs,whereas O.mykiss has been shown to accumulate only CeO₂-NPs.DCompared with O.mykiss,D.polymorpha can accumulate detectable CeO₂ -NPs concentrations with significantly fewer negative effects.

Veronice L. Bura, Akito Y. Kawahara, and Jayne E. Yack investigated the evolution and function of sound production in silk moth and hawk moth caterpillars. They found that during harmless simulated attacks on isolated caterpillars, 33% of the tested species produced sound, which ranged from clicks in Manduca pellenia to whistles in Rhodinia fugax. Although some insects use sound to communicate with members of the same species, the researchers claim that the caterpillar sounds recorded in their study are directed primarily at predators.
Which finding, if true, would most directly support Bura andcolleagues' claim?

AIn most case, the sound that caterpillar species produced during simulated attacks was not produced by other caterpillar species during simulated attacks.
BChickens and yellow warblers, two predators of caterpillars have been observed to stop their attacks in response to caterpillars sounds.
CCaterpillar clicks were emitted in a frequency of detectable by birds that prey on caterpillar, but caterpillar whistles were not.
DEach caterpillar species tended to produce one sound during simulated attacks, although individuals occasionally made avariety of other sounds during simulated attacks as well.

The British Bronze Age began when sophisticated techniques for making tools, weapons, and other objects from metal were introduced to the British Isles around 2500 BCE, and it lasted until around 700 BCE. In Britain during this time, collections of valuable metal obiects (called hoards) were sometimes buried for safekeeping. Some stayed buried for many centuries, such as the Parc-y-Meirch hoard, which was unearthed around 1868, and the Fittleworth hoard, discovered in 1995. And although the period is known as the Bronze Age, some hoards, like the Fittleworth hoard, contained decorative objects made of gold; gold was much rarer than bronze, however, and thus it is not surprising that_________

The state of North Dakota has designated the spiny water flea as an invasive species that could outcompete some of the state's native species. Many other states draw similar distinctions between invasive and native species. But researchers Alejandro Camacho and Jason McLachlan have pointed out that Earth's climate is changing in ways that challenge such designations. Climate changes may cause animals to leave their current ranges and establish new ones. Climate changes may also create good habitats in areas where a species couldn't live previously. These observations suggest that_________.
