Use the passage below to answer the question.
In 1927, the American aviator, Charles Lindbergh, became the first person to conquer the Atlantic by flying across the vast ocean. Soon afterward, people started talking about a woman aviator doing the same. She was Amelia Earhart. In April 1928, Earhart’s growing reputation attracted numerous sponsors. They asked Amelia if she would like to fly across the Atlantic Ocean to which she agreed. But her sponsors thought it was too risky for a woman to fly alone. Moreover, the sponsors were concerned that Earhart did not have the appropriate training to fly the type of plane they would be using. Ultimately, Earhart had to ride as a passenger with pilot Wilmer “Bill” Stultz and co-pilot Louis E. “Slim” Gordon. She received a cheerful welcome when their plane landed in the United Kingdom. However, Earhart said she felt she “was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes.” She longed to complete the flight on her own someday.
Earhart got another opportunity to cross the Atlantic Ocean in 1932, this time on her own. Her airplane took to the air from Newfoundland, Canada, and her plan was to fly to Paris as Lindbergh had done five years ago. But unfortunately, due to bad weather and mechanical problems in her plane, Earhart could not make it all the way to Paris. Instead, she landed in a pasture in Derry, Ireland. Nevertheless, she won many awards for becoming the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. In 1935, Earhart also became the first person to make the transoceanic flight from Honolulu, Hawaii, to Oakland, California. Setting seven speed and distance records for women, Earhart soon rose to fame across the United States. By this time, the ambitious and courageous Earhart was considering a flight around the world.

Proper hydration is a key to health, and water bottles help people on the go stay hydrated. Unfortunately, recent research has found that bacteria multiply in the moist environment within bottles. Much of the contamination comes from handling the bottle and not properly cleaning it. Most users only rinse their bottles with water to clean them, and this is not sufficient to slow the growth of bacteria. Luckily, there are simple actions to avoid a bacteria-laden water bottle. First, choose a metal or glass bottle, and second, wash hands after using the restroom and before filling the bottle. Third, wash the bottle daily with soap, hydrogen peroxide, or a vinegar rinse. Cleaning the water bottle is a vital part of an evening routine.
Based on the passage, which of the following is a logical conclusion about water bottles?
People should stop using reusable water bottles
Metal or glass bottles are less likely to promote bacterial growth

People should wash their hands after filling their water bottles
Metal or glass bottles are less likely to promote bacterial growth
This is a logical conclusion to draw from the passage. The passage mentions using metal and glass bottles as a method of discouraging bacterial growth

What controls our hunger? Our central nervous system (CNS) influences our feeding behavior and metabolism. The brainstem receives signals from our gut and hypothalamus. When our stomach is empty, the appetite-stimulating neurons in the hypothalamus send information to the brainstem, signaling hunger. This leads to the secretion of ghrelin, a hunger-stimulating hormone that is mainly released by the stomach. When we eat, our brain perceives the stomach’s distention as satiety and stops ghrelin’s secretion. Leptin, another hormone released from fat cells, also affects the hypothalamic neurons. It triggers the brain to lower our appetite when we’ve eaten enough. However, leptin resistance prevents the satiety signal from being properly decoded by the brain, which can lead to overeating and weight gain.
“Leptin, another hormone released from fat cells, also affects the hypothalamic neurons, It triggers the brain to lower our appetite when we’ve eaten enough”
Which of the following inferences can be reasonable deduced from this excerpt
People who are overweight have low leptin levels
It is unclear how leptin levels affect appetite
There is no correlation between leptin levels and weigh gain
Increased leptin levels cause decreased appetite
Increased leptin levels cause decreased appetite
The excerpt established that “leptin triggers the brain to lower our appetite when we’ve eaten enough” therefore, we can reasonably deduce that increased leptin levels cause decreased appetite
Which number is correctly rounded to the place value indicated?
24.52 to the tenths place is 24.6
9.0003 to the thousandths is 9.001
3.255 to the hundredths place is 3.26
183,499 to the thousands is 184,000
3.255 to the hundredths place is 3.26
When rounding to the nearest hundredths place, the digit in the thousandths place indicates wether to round up or down. Because the digit in the thousandths place is 5, it rounds to 3.26
