Explanation-1	While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: The tundra is a type of environment characterized by especially harsh winter conditions. Winter temperatures in the tundra average a frigid −30 degrees Fahrenheit. Animals that have adapted to these conditions can survive tundra winters. During the tundra’s short growing season, average temperatures can reach a relatively mild 54 degrees Fahrenheit. Around 1,700 different kinds of plants are able to grow in the tundra. The student wants to emphasize how harsh the conditions can be in the tundra. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?	A) Winters in the tundra are especially harsh, with temperatures averaging a frigid −30 degrees Fahrenheit. B) Animals that have adapted to harsh winter conditions can survive tundra winters C) There are around 1,700 different kinds of plants that can live in the tundra, where average temperatures can reach a mild 54 degrees Fahrenheit. D) Along with animals that have adapted to the tundra’s conditions, around 1,700 different kinds of plants can live in the tundra.
Explanation-2	While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: Annie Wu is a prominent American flutist who graduated from the New England Conservatory. She has won multiple national flute competitions. She is best known for a 2011 YouTube video that has been viewed over two million times. The video shows her performing Three Beats for Beatbox Flute, an original work by composer Greg Pattillo. Wu combines flute playing and beatboxing in the video. The student wants to emphasize Wu’s most well-known achievement. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?	A) Annie Wu, who has won multiple national flute competitions, has also combined flute playing and beatboxing. B) Among her many achievements, prominent American flutist Annie Wu graduated from the New England Conservatory and has won multiple national flute competitions.

D) Composer Greg Pattillo’s original work Three Beats for Beatbox Flute combines flute playing and beatboxing
Explanation-3	While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: NASA uses rovers, large remote vehicles with wheels, to explore the surface of Mars. NASA’s rovers can’t explore regions inaccessible to wheeled vehicles. Rovers are also heavy, making them difficult to land on the planet’s surface. Microprobes, robotic probes that weigh as little as 50 milligrams, could be deployed virtually anywhere on the surface of Mars. Microprobes have been proposed as an alternative to rovers. The student wants to explain an advantage of microprobes. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?	A) Despite being heavy, NASA’s rovers can land successfully on the surface of Mars. B) Microprobes, which weigh as little as 50 milligrams, could explore areas of Mars that are inaccessible to NASA’s heavy, wheeled rovers. C) NASA currently uses its rovers on Mars, but microprobes have been proposed as an alternative. D) Though they are different sizes, both microprobes and rovers can be used to explore the surface of Mars.
Explanation-4	While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: From Earth, all the meteors in a meteor shower appear to originate from a single spot in the sky. This spot is called the meteor shower’s radiant. The Perseid meteor shower is visible in the northern hemisphere in July and August. Like many meteor showers, it is named for the location of its radiant. Its radiant is located within the constellation Perseus. The student wants to explain the origin of the Perseid meteor shower’s name. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?	A) The Perseid meteor shower is named for the constellation Perseus, the location of the meteor shower’s radiant. B) A meteor shower’s name may be linked to a single spot in the sky. C) The Perseid meteor shower, which has a radiant, is visible in the northern hemisphere in July and August. D) From Earth, all the meteors in a meteor shower appear to originate from a radiant, such as the one within Perseus.
Explanation-5	While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel The Hobbit features two maps. The novel opens with a reproduction of the map that the characters use on their quest. This map introduces readers to the fictional world they are about to enter. The novel closes with a map depicting every stop on the characters’ journey. That map allows readers to reconstruct the story they have just read. The student wants to contrast the purposes of the two maps in The Hobbit. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?	A) The Hobbit’s opening map introduces readers to the fictional world they are about to enter, while the closing map allows them to reconstruct the story they have just read. B) The Hobbit, a novel published by J.R.R. Tolkien in 1937, features a reproduction of a map that the characters use on their quest, as well as a map that appears at the end of the novel. C) The Hobbit’s two maps, one opening and one closing the novel, each serve a purpose for readers. D) In 1937, author J.R.R. Tolkien published The Hobbit, a novel featuring both an opening and a closing map.
