Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue." Those tests were constructed around items like fill-in-the-blank sentence completion, suc

h as “Even though Tom was ______, Mary thought he was _____.” And the correct answer always seemed to be the most bland combinations of thoughts, for example, “Even though Tom was foolish, Mary thought he was ridiculous.” Well, according to my mother, there were very few limitations as to what Tom could have been and what Mary might have thought of him. So I never did well on tests like that. Which information from the excerpt best supports the inference that achievement tests ignore imagination as an element of language ability? Tan’s mother would not be able to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt. Tan’s mother could think of several ways to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt. Tan’s mother did not allow her to take tests with questions like the one described in the excerpt. Tan’s mother was disappointed that Tan did poorly on tests with questions like the one described in the excerpt.

The correct option is this: TAN'S MOTHER COULD THINK OF SEVERAL WAYS TO ANSWER A QUESTION LIKE THE ONE DESCRIBED IN THE EXCERPT.
From the passage, it can be seen that, Tan's mother believed that so many things would have fit exactly into those blanks that are present in the questions given to Tan. This shows that the mother's imagination is very active and that those that set those questions have ignored imagination ability of the students.

The bones of the skeleton have five major functions. Some bones protect soft body parts. For example, the sternum, thoracic vert
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The sternum, thoracic vertebrae, and ribs protect the heart and lungs.

Explanation:

The skeleton can be divided into the <em>axial skeleton</em> (the skull and the vertebral column), <em>visceral skeleton</em> (ribs and sternum) and the <em>appendicular skeleton</em> (extremities).

The function of the <em><u>visceral skeleton</u></em> is to <em>support and protect</em> the first portion of the digestive and cardio-breathing apparatus.

In mammals, the second part of the vertebral column (thoracic vertebrae), the ribs and the sternum delimitate a protective box for lungs and heart.

Why do phospholipid from a biliary in water ?
Bond [772]

Phospholipids have a hydrophilic(water-liking) ‘head’ and a hydrophobic ‘tail’ so they are amphipathic. They form a lipid bilayer because of their amphipathic properties. The tails get sandwiches between the hydrophilic heads that are able to interact with water.

Hope this helps:)
