Elisabeth Pötzelsberger and colleagues gathered data on 23 non-native tree species grown in Europe. They analyzed reports from Great Britain, Denmark, and Switzerland about the number of these species grown by the timber industries in those countries. The researchers concluded that none of these countries' timber industries grow all 23 species.

Which choice best describes data from the graph that support Pötzelsberger and colleagues' conclusion?

Great Britain, Denmark, and Switzerland each reported at least 11 of the 23 species.
Some of the species that Denmark reported are not among the 23 tree species that Pötzelsberger and colleagues were evaluating.
There are species other than those reported by Switzerland that are important to its timber industry, but they're native to the country.
Great Britain, which reported more of the 23 species than either Denmark or Switzerland did, reported fewer than 20 of the species.
The relationship between grassland arthropod populations and agricultural fertilizers containing macronutrients—such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—was the focus of a 2007 study in the _____________ by the researcher Maria K. Hartley, the study examined a variety of arthropod specimens, which had been collected with sweep nets.

Women like Agnes Meyer Driscoll made important early contributions to the history of US cryptology, a field concerned with secure data communication and storage. Driscoll joined the US Navy and worked in its cryptological office during World War I. She also helped develop early cipher machines. In this way, Driscoll and others like her helped make it possible for more women—such as Maureen Baginski, who currently works in intelligence and supports the FBI—to enter the field of cryptology.
According to the text, what is the relationship between Driscoll and Baginski?

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
A supercontinent is a single landmass made up of most or all of Earth's continents
Over time, continents merge together to form supercontinents, which then break apart.
This process is believed to take hundreds of millions of years and is known as the supercontinent cycle.
Kenorland was a supercontinent that formed about 2.6 billion years ago.
Gondwana was a supercontinent that formed about 510 million years ago.
The student wants to emphasize the order in which the supercontinents were formed.
Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Kenorland and Gondwana were both supercontinents, single landmasses made up of most or all of Earth's continents.
Forming and breaking apart over hundreds of millions of years, supercontinents are made up of most or all of Earth's continents.
Kenorland formed about 2.6 billion years ago but eventually broke apart.
The supercontinent Gondwana formed long after the supercontinent Kenorland.
The following text is adapted from Daniel Defoe's 1704 nonfiction book The Storm. If I judge right, 'tis the duty of an historian to set everything in its own light, and to convey matter of fact upon its legitimate authority, and no other: I mean thus, (for I would be as explicit as I can) that where a story is vouched to him with sufficient authority, he ought to give the world the special testimonial of its proper voucher, or else he is not just to the story: and where it comes without such sufficient authority, he ought to say so; otherwise he is not just to himself.

The only figures that a historian should quote are those who are widely viewed as credible.
It is difficult for historians to be completely accurate, and eventually they will feel remorse for some of their work.
Historians should clearly indicate the extent to which each of their sources is trustworthy.
Because no memories can be trusted, all historians are forced to admit that some records of events may be, in part, false.
