Read the excerpt from "Blue Crabs Provide Evidence of Oil Tainting Gulf Food Web" by John Flesher of the Associated Press (2010)

:
Weeks ago, before engineers pumped mud and cement to plug the gusher, scientists began finding specks of oil in crab larvae plucked from waters
across the Gulf coast.
The government said last week that three-quarters of the spilled oil has been removed or naturally dissipated from the water. But the crab larvae
discovery was an ominous sign that crude had already infiltrated the Gulf's vast food web-and could affect it for years to come.
"It would suggest the oil has reached a position where it can start moving up the food chain instead of just hanging in the water," said Bob Thomas, a
biologist at Loyola University in New Orleans. "Something likely will eat those oiled larvae... and then that animal will be eaten by something bigger and son on."

Which central idea is supported by the excerpt below:

"But what's going to happen next year, if this water is polluted and it's killing the eggs and larvae? I think it's going to be a long-term problem."

•Other organisms in the Gulf waters feed on the larvae of blue crabs.
•Most of the pilled oil that contaminated the Gulf waters recently has been cleaned up.
•Scientists recently discovered oil droplets on blue crab larvae in waters along the Gulf coast.
•Scientists fear long-term negative effects on Gulf coast organisms from contaminated blue crab larvae.

Answer and Explanation:

7.

Part A:

<u>How did the Printing Press change people's lives?</u>

B. More people could afford to read books, and Renaissance ideas spread.

This is true because these books were made to be cheaper than books that came before it. This allowed basically anyone to buy them, even the lower class, allowing the literacy of the common people to sharply increase in level, compared to when book prices were high and usually only bought by the higher class peoples.

Part B:

<u>Which paragraph provides evidence to support the answer to Part A?</u>

As I don't have the book for your questions, I would advise that you find the paragraph that has the information pertaining to the answer given above (answer choice B)

8.

<u>Read the Paragraph and the directions that follow.</u>

In the Middle Ages, the Church had taught people to think about the afterlife. During the Renaissance, people wanted to enjoy life on Earth. Enthusiasm for games, sports, and entertainment blossomed. Music flourished.

<u>Which statement </u><u>best </u><u>describes the main idea of the paragraph?</u>

D. Changing values led Renaissance people to seek out various ways to entertain themselves.

I think this answer seems more correct than the other answers, due to the answer encompassing the fact that the people changed ways to fit their era, and wanted to entertain themselves. This part is looked at more in this paragraph.

Answer choice C. would be the second best answer, but it isn't entirely the best statement that describes the main idea. That's because it only refers to the part where the people lost interest in the Church's teachings about the afterlife. This part is only talked about in 1 sentence in this paragraph, while the entertainment part is talked about in 3 sentences.
