Answer:

D) Testing has shown that teenage boys between the ages of 15-18 sleep longer than teenage girls in the same age group.​

Explanation:

The best way to revise this sentence is given in option D.

Option A lacks all necessary details, simply stating that males sleep longer than females. The research/testing, children's age, and the hours are not mentioned.

Option B feels like the second best, but a very important piece of information is missing - the specific age. Teenagers are children aged 13-19, and the difference between 13- and 19-year-olds is huge.

Option C also lacks information about the subjects' age.

Option D is also not ideal but feels the most complete. It doesn't mention how much longer exactly the boys sleep, but that detail isn't as important as the specific age is.

1. Of the choices given 200 km is a reasonable distance for cities to be separated. 200 mm is about the size of a toddler's first step.

2. The answer is A if those are commas. 

3.
P = 2*L + 2*W
P = 2*97 + 2*17
P = 194 + 34
P = 228

The area of the ceiling is 14*14 = 196
The plaster covers 90 square feet.
196/90 = 2.18 pails. 

Unfortunately, you have to buy 3 pails.

5. Draw a line from the end of the 14 foot line to the 20 foot line so that the two lines meet at right angles. You have a small trapezoid on the right.

Area of the trapezoid = (b1 + b2)*h/2
b1 = 12
b2 = 10
h = (20 - 14) = 6

Area = (12 + 10)*6/2 = 22*6/2 = 132/2 = 66 square inches.

Area of the rectangle on the left = L * W
L = 12
W = 14
Area = 12 * 14 
Area = 168

Total Area = 168 + 66 
Total Area = 234 square inches.

6.
Area = b*h
B = 10
h = 17
Area = 17 * 10
Area = 170 square cm

7
C and D are both false. If squares have the same area, they have the same perimeter. If squares have the same perimeter they have the same area.

So it's between A and B and only one of them is correct because they are opposite in given properties.

Rectangles need not have the perimeter to have he same area. Suppose you have a rectangle that is L = 5 and W = 4 The area is 20. The perimeter is 18. 

Now let is suppose you have a rectangle that is L = 10 and w = 2 The area is 20 the Perimeter is 24.

Brums [2.3K]
A allegory is a story in which the characters, objects, and plait events represent abstract concepts, having more than one layer of meaning. During research, I noticed many people put down fable for this exact question. That will be wrong. A fable has animals, creatures, and plants as characters. The correct answer will be C, allegory.
