This study about salt in the soil of growing chili plants indicated that increasing NaCl concentrations significantly delayed flowering and fruit ripening and significantly reduced the number of fruits produced. For example, plants ______.
Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the example?

Mark for Review
subjected to high NaCl concentrations were highest in capsaicinoid.
subjected to high NaCl concentrations had lower nutritional value.
with a NaCl concentration of 90 mM took 16 extra days to flower beyond ones with no salt.
with a NaCl concentration of 30 mM averaged 52 chili fruits on the plant.

A recent study by the International Food Information Council sought to determine general perceptions about choosing plant-based alternatives over animal products. Over one thousand American adults aged 18–80 were surveyed in 2021 and were asked about the frequency that they consumed a meat alternative such as tofu or tempeh. The findings suggest that a larger percentage of Americans are open to consuming meat alternatives than what was previously believed; for example, ______.

the majority of Americans consumed plant-based meat alternatives in 2021, with at least 60% of respondents choosing a plant-based alternative over meat at least once a month.
in 2021, at least 20% of respondents consumed a plant-based alternative over meat daily.
over 20% of Americans consumed plant-based meat alternatives monthly while approximately 35% of Americans rarely consumed plant-based meat alternatives.
over 20% of Americans consumed plant-based meat alternatives daily, weekly, or monthly, compared to 35% of Americans who rarely consumed plant-based meat alternatives.

A 2022 survey from the Pew Research Center has confirmed what many people have been suspecting for a while: Facebook is not the king of social media platforms anymore, at least according to teens. While over 70% of teens had used Facebook in 2014, that number shot down to approximately 30% by 2022. While there could be many reasons to account for this drastic drop, one plausible explanation could simply be the number of other platforms available, possibly offering more features that align with teen preferences.
Which choice best describes data in the graph to support the researchers’ findings?

Mark for Review
YouTube has consistently outperformed Facebook, with over 95% of teens using the platform in 2014 and 2022, while Facebook users dropped by approximately 40%.
Instagram users increased by over 20% since 2014, while Facebook users decreased by nearly double that amount.
Snapchat users climbed from over 40% to nearly 60% by 2022, while Facebook users dropped to approximately 30%.
Twitter experienced a slight drop in users from 2014 to 2022, though Facebook experienced far more significant losses, as they lost nearly 40% of users.

Wind power is a way to generate electricity using the power of wind. In the United States, although wind power only makes up 8.4% of America’s electricity generation, this number has steadily increased throughout the years. Due to the large scale, wind power generation is generally measured in Terawatt hours (TWh), in which one Terawatt hour is equivalent to one trillion watt-hours. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the state that generated the most wind power in 2021 was ______.

Texas, which produced over 300 TWh of electricity within the span of a year.
Texas, which produced over 90 TWh of electricity within the span of a year.
Illinois, which produced nearly 200 TWh of electricity within the span of a year.
Oklahoma, which produced over 110 TWh of electricity within the span of a year.

Several studies have compared water filtration systems to tap water to assess their ability to remove impurities. A 2017 study published by Kathleen Ward Brown, Bennet Gessesse, Lindsey Butler, and David MacIntosh found that tap water in the United States may contain contaminants such as lead or copper, which are potentially harmful to human health. The US Environmental Protection Agency also conducted a study in Flint, Michigan, where they collected over 200 water samples to test elemental concentrations in the water supply. The study found that the use of a filtration system, such as faucet-mount filters or activated carbon filters, made a difference in the amount of contaminants present in the water.

Mark for Review
Using a water filtration system increased the amount of lead present from .25 mg/L to 18.5 mg/L.
Using a water filtration system decreased the amount of copper present from 92 mg/L to 2.2 mg/L.
Using a water filtration system increased the amount of cadmium present from .45 mg/L to .64 mg/L.
Using a water filtration system decreased the amount of nickel present from 18.5 mg/L to .25 mg/L.
