"Lines Written in Early Spring"is a 1798poem by William Wordsworth.In the poem, the speaker describes having contradictory feelings while experiencing the sights and sounds of a spring day: Which quotation from"Lines Written in Early Spring" most effectively illustrates the claim?

“I heard a thousand blended notes,/While in a grove I[sat]reclined./In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts/Bring sad thoughts to the mind."

“Through primrose-tufts,in that sweet bower, /The periwinkle traifd its wreathes;/And 'tis my faith that every flower/Enjoysthe air it breathes."

“The budding twigs spread out their fan,/To catch the breezy air;/And I must think,do allI can,/That there was pleasure there."

“The birds around me hopp'd and play'd:/ Their thoughts I cannot measure,/But the least motion which they made,/It seem'd a thrill of pleasure."

The Apolloprogram missions were spaceflights to the moon led by the United States during the 1960s and 1970s during which astronauts collected some samples of the moon'ssurface.More recently,China launched the Change 5 mission,whichreturned additional lunar surface samples.Researchers have analyzed and dated each of the samples,concluding that the lunar samples collected during the Chang'e5 mission are significant because Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the claim?

they aremuchyounger than the samples brought back from any of the Apollo missions.

they were collected from the same landing site as the Apollo 11 mission.

they are closest in age to the samples brought back by the Apollo 17mission.

they helped confirm the predicted ages of the lunar samples from the Apollo missions.

Biologist Rosanna Alegado believes that we might learn how multicellular organisms developed from single-celled ones if we understand why the single celled organism Salpingoeca rosetta,the oldest living relative of animals,sometimes forms colonies of cells. Alegado and colleagues reviewed data from many studies of howS rosetta responds when exposed to another type of single-celled organism,bacteria, including Eric W.Triplett's work with Dyadobacter fermentans bacteria and Jung-Hoon Yoon's work withAlgoriphagus marincola bacteria.Alegado and colleagues concluded that both D.fermentans andA.marincola might have playeda role in the development of multicellular organisms. Which finding,if true,would most directly support Alegado and colleagues'conclusion?

S.rosetta tended to form colonies when exposed to D.fermentans and when exposed to A.marincola.

S.rosetta tended to form colonies when exposed to A.marincola but notwhen exposed to D.fermentans.

Although several studies involving other bacteria species found that S.rosetta tended to form colonies after bacteria exposure,only the studies using D.fermentans and A.marincola tested whether the amount of bacteria exposure affected the rate of colony formation

S.rosetta tended to form colonies when exposed to D.fermentans but not when exposed to A.marincola.

The Millennium Cohort Study(MCS)examines trends in childhood development among 19,000 people in the United Kingdom unfolding over many years.As is true ofmostlongitudinal studies,this need for years of data collection results in high costs.By contrast,a relatively straightforward fitness study,such as one that is merely trying to identify the percentage of regular exercisers in a city who do weight training, may notneed a largebudget because Which choicemost logically completes the text?

19,000 people is more than enoughfor MCS to find trends in childhood development.

longitudinal methods are probably suitable for the fitness study.

Text1 In separate studies,Lingbo Meng and colleagues and Xinhua He and colleagues examined whether plants transfer nutrients to one another using a common mycorrhizal network(CMN)—a lattice of fungal strands in the soil.Meng and colleagues excluded all pathways other than the CMNby using barriers to keepthe plants'root systems separate while allowing mycorrhizal strands through—a crucial step He and colleagues'study did not take. Text 2 Meng and colleagues took the necessary precaution of separating the plants'root systems(thereby excluding root-to-root transmission).However,any barrier used must allow the thread-ike hyphae of a CMN to pass through,and this permeability would also allow liquids through.Thus,the researchers'experimental design cannot ensure thatany nutrient transfer observed can be attributed to a CMN and not to some other pathway. Based on the texts,the author of Text 1 and the author of Text 2 would most likely give the same answer to which question?

Do plants that transfer nutrients through a root-to-root pathway also transmit nutrients via a CMN?

Did He and colleagues'study effectively exclude any nutrient pathway other than a CMN?

Are the barriers used in Meng and colleagues' study sufficient to ensure that nutrient transfer could only occur via a CMN?

Is there an available barrier materialthat can block roots and liquids while allowing fungal strands through?

Researchers César A.Hidalgo,Elisa Castaner;and Andres Sevtsuk created a computer model to predict themix of businesses and places of interest found in a given neighborhood.The team used data from the Google Places API service to help identify movie theaters,gyms,and other businesses andmap their locations.This approach has some limits—data from Places API tend to be restricted to placesthat arecustomer facing—but the data set nonetheless provides an extremely reliable source to study colocation patterns ofneighborhood amenities. According tothe text,what is onepotential drawback of Hidalgo and colleagues'method?

It may lead to conclusions that are not reflective of allthe amenities in agiven neighborhood

It is likely to contributeto inaccurate identifications of the boundaries of specific neighborhoods.

It is based on recent advancements from other fields that have yet to be applied outside of those contexts.

It depends upon data that are likely to be outdated.

Vadamalai Elangovan and Ganapathi Marimuthu showed that high moonlight intensity inhibits the activity of the greatershort-nosed fruit bat (Cynopterus sphinx),a finding explicable in terms of benefits and costs:greater lunar intensity may not enable the bats toincrease foraging success enough to offset the higher chance of detectionby predatory owls or hawks.Though many other nocturnal mammals respond to lunar intensity variations similarly to greater short-nosed fruit bats,mongoose lemurs(Eulemur mongoz)display the opposite pattern, as their heavy reliance on visual foraging results in a different balance of rewardand risk. According to the text,what did Elangovan and Marimuthu find and why does that occur?

Greater short-nosed fruit bats reduce their activity during periods of high lunar intensity because predators can more easily spot the bats in brighter conditions.and such conditions do not benefit the bats enough to ustify that risk.

Greater short-nosed fruit bats tend to be more active during periods of high lunar intensity than at other times because such conditions allow them to increase their foraging success without making them easier to detect.

During periods of high lunar intensity,greater short-nosed fruit bats reduce their activity because it is easier for predators to detect the bats in relatively bright conditionsthan it is for predators to detect mongoose lemurs in such conditions.

During periods of highlunar intensity, mongoose lemurs show a different behavioral response than greater short-nosed fruit bats and many other nocturnal mammals do because the risks to mongoose lemurs under such conditions are greater.

A number of artists associated with hyperpop,a movement in electronic music that emerged in the 2010s,aggressively manipulate their recorded voice. The duo 100 gecs,for example,shifts the pitch of lead singer Laura Les's vocals to be much higher than that of her natural range.And even the hyperpop artists who don't rely on pitch-shifting,such as Shygirl, often distort their vocals using digital tools.Rather than being an arbitrary stylistic choice, hyperpop's persistent modification of the voice functions as a commentary on how digital technology mediates human experience today. Based on the text,the author would be most likely to disagree with which statementabout vocal manipulation in hyperpop?

It is an aesthetic feature that has little or no social import.

It confirms hyperpop's ability to offset certain negative effects of digital technology.

It is a symbolof the influence that hyperpop exerts on listeners'sense of self.

It represents changes to human experience brought about by technology.

Biologists Rebecca M.Calisi-Rodriguez and George E.Bentley examined research on white-throated sparrows and unstriped Nile rats,both of which have been studied in the laboratory as well as in the wild, to see how studies'settings might have affected their results.Lab studies are usefulbecause they make it easy to control important variables,but white- throated sparrows'surroundings can significantly affect their hormone levels.Therefore,it'snot altogether surprising that when Calisi-Rodriguez and Bentley examined studiesof white-throated sparrows they found that Which choice most logically completes the text?

significant differencesin hormone levels between individuals were found for both captive sparrows and wild sparrows.

A hormone levels were higher in wildmales than in captive male unstriped Nile rats.

baseline levels of the hormone corticosterone are higher in captive sparrows than they are in wild sparrows.

captive sparrows and wild sparrows usually exhibited very similar hormone levels.

Marrakech has high pedestrian traffic,but simply  replicating a feature of Marrakech associatedwith
walkability-e.g,its highly  varied  streetscape一
may be insufficient to induce increased walking in
other cities.As urbanist Mariela Alfonzo argues,our
understanding  of  individuals'decision-makingabout  whether to walk is insufficiently robust:some studies emphasize the role of demographiccharacteristics,
others the role of public transit availability,and so on,
but walking decisions are made in complex contexts in which multiple conditions and needs inform
individuals' choices.
Based on the text,Alfonzo would most likely agree with which statement about studies of decision-
making about walking?

They would be improved by efforts to identify

the features that cities with high pedestrian traffic have in common.

They are unlikely to find convincing evidence that any single factor consistently predicts

walking decisions.

They have overstated the extent to which people differ in their decision-making

processes regarding walking.

They tend to be misleading because they ignore the most important factor influencing walking

decisions.
