Dr. Jeff Brantingham is a professor from the Department of Anthropology at UCLA and is the director of the UC Mathematical and Simulation Modeling of Crime Project.

He has become very famous because of his studies on human settlements and civilizations and the capacity that humans have to adapt and establish themselves in different places of the earth and use these places to their advacement. Given the level of crime in Los Angeles, and seeking to help improve the way police force and resources are distributed, as well as seeking to prevent crime from happening, he used mathematical algorithms that predict the time, place and occurrence of criminal activities so that resources can be better allocated and used. Currently he is working with the LAPD, the Los Angeles Police Department, to teach about his predictive policing experiment.

2. Helium- helium is necessary as a cooling medium for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), superconducting magnets in MRI scanners and NMR spectrometers, and satellite instruments.

3. Bauxite - Bauxite is the main ingredient in making aluminum metal, and nearly all aluminum produced has been extracted from bauxite. It is also used in hydraulic fracturing, a process in drilling for oil and gas.

4. Natural Gas -energy needs and is used as an energy source for heating, cooking, and generation of electricity. It is also used in the process of making plastics and other commercially important organic compounds.

5. Coal-In today’s society coal has become the primary source of fuel for electricity production because it is abundant, has high energy output, and is relatively inexpensive.

6. Oil - Oil supplies 40% of the nation’s energy needs and is used for the production of gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, propane, and asphalt. Oil is also used in the manufacturing of petrochemicals for production of plastics, synthetic rubber, and chemicals.

7. Salt- known as sodium chloride, is an essential mineral for the life of humans and animals.

8. Timber -Timber is an important renewable natural resource in many societies around the world. If production is approached in a responsible way it can be both sustainable and economical.

9. Soil -oil is one of the most important natural resources on Earth, being required both directly and indirectly for food production, manufacturing of industrial raw materials, and for generation of energy sources. Soil is essential for the function of ecosystems providing nutrients, oxygen, water, and heat.

10. Iron - Iron is in everyday items all around us and is the world’s most commonly used metal. Iron is a good conductor, durable, and plentiful making up 5% of the Earth’s crust. This is why it is used to make steel, electrical wiring and conduct, pipes, tools, hinges, door handles, stoves, pots and pans, and even sofa frames.

Select the correct answer. Which phrase is a noun phrase in the given paragraph? Since childhood Jess has been interested in the

deff fn [24]

Answer: The correct answer is: [B]: " the art of story telling. "

_____________________________

Explanation:

_____________________________

The given excerpt is as follows:

Since childhood, Jess has been interested in the art of storytelling. She would entertain her little brother and sister with tales of magic and adventure. She started writing stories almost as soon as she learned the alphabet. To write her stories, Jess relies on her colorful imagination.

___________________________

Let us consider the other answer choices:

Choice [A]: "has been interested" ;

Choice [C]: "would entertain" ;

Choice [D]: "started writing" ;

are all "<u>verb phrases</u>" ; that do not contain any "noun"— or subject or object—nor do they function as a "noun" or "subject" in any way.

Choice [E]: "as soon as" ; is an "adverb phrase" that describes "when" something is about to happen —(albeit not very specific about "when"—in this particular explanation.

____________________________

Choice: [B]: " the art of storytelling" ; is the correct answer.

____________________________

This is clearly a "noun phrase" ; since it begins with a noun [athough this is not required to be a "noun phrase"]—and is modified by a "gerund" [i.e. modified by further explanation—by using the words "of storytelling"] ; in which the "gerund" is "storytelling". Gerunds are nouns formed from "verb forms ending in -ing" —which <u>function as a noun</u>.
