The student wants to emphasize a difference between C-type and S-type asteroids. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?	A) Planetary scientists classify asteroids into types, two of which are the C-type and the S-type. B) Planetary scientists consider an asteroid’s composition (such as whether the asteroid is composed mainly of silicate minerals or carbon) when classifying it. C) Roughly 17 percent of known asteroids are classified as S-type asteroids; another percentage is classified as C-type asteroids. D) C-type asteroids are mainly composed of carbon, whereas S-type asteroids are primarily made up of silicate minerals.
5	While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: The Great Fire of London occurred in 1666. It destroyed over 13,000 houses and many churches. Only six verified deaths were recorded, despite the scale of destruction. The fire started in a bakery on Pudding Lane. Strong winds and wooden buildings helped the fire spread quickly.

Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?	A) In 2015, LIGO’s massive interferometers detected a powerful ripple that originated in deep space and eventually passed through Earth. B) Though the physics study LIGO began in 2002, its massive interferom C) To achieve its aims, LIGO uses a pair of massive interferometers that are thousands of miles apart. D) A physics study designed to detect and analyze gravitational waves, LIGO uses a pair of massive interferometers that are thousands of miles apart.
7	While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: The Seikan Tunnel is a rail tunnel in Japan. It connects the island of Honshu to the island of Hokkaido.

The student wants to compare the lengths of the two rail tunnels. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?	A) Some of the world’s rail tunnels, including one tunnel that extends from Folkestone, England, to Coquelles, France, are longer than 30 miles. B) The Seikan Tunnel is roughly 33 miles long, while the slightly shorter Channel Tunnel is about 31 miles long.

8	While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: The Sasanian Empire lasted about 400 years (AD 224 to AD 651). The Sasanians controlled an area spanning 1.4 million square miles. This area included present-day Iran and Iraq. The empire’s capital was the ancient city of Ctesiphon. Ctesiphon was located near present-day Baghdad, Iraq. The student wants to specify the location of Ctesiphon. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?	A) Ctesiphon, the capital of the Sasanian Empire, was located near present-day Baghdad, Iraq.

9	While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: Minnesota defines a lake as an inland body of water of at least 10 acres. Wisconsin’s definition of a lake doesn’t take size into account. By its own definition, Wisconsin has over 15,000 lakes, many smaller than 10 acres. By Minnesota’s definition, Wisconsin has only about 6,000 lakes. The student wants to contrast Minnesota’s definition of a lake with Wisconsin’s. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?	A) Wisconsin, which doesn’t take size into account in defining a lake, claims that it has over 15,000 lakes. B) Because its definition of a lake is different from Minnesota’s, it is unclear how many lakes Wisconsin really has. C) According to Minnesota’s definition of a lake-an inland body of water of at least 10 acres-Wisconsin has about 6,000 lakes. D) Minnesota’s definition of a lake-an inland body of water of at least 10 acres-is more restrictive than Wisconsin’s, which doesn’t take size into account.
