8. Rainbows appear when sunlight passes through raindrops in the sky. As the light passes through,
it is broken up into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Rainbows
normally appear from the rain, but they can happen wherever light is being bent inside of water
droplets. Rainbows can be seen in mist, fog, spray, and dew. Rainbows are actually circles but they
look like arches when we view them from the ground.

9. Astronomers claim that a star begins as a cloud of hydrogen and helium. As the cloud moves
about, it collects bits of dust and more floating gases. Then, the cloud begins to warm as more
dust and gases are pulled into it. After a long period of time, as the cloud becomes denser, heat
and friction cause the atoms to explode. That is how a star is born.

10. Both crocodiles and alligators look like large and intimating reptiles and share a number of
similarities, including long snouts, powerful tails, short legs, and bony-plated backs. The main
difference is that a crocodile has a narrow snout that comes to a point at the tip, and the fourth
lower tooth is always visible even when the crocodile's mouth is closed. An alligator, on the other
hand, has a broad, blunt snout. Another difference is color. If the reptile is gray or black then it’s
most likely a gator. On the other hand, if you see one that is olive or tan you are most likely
looking at a crocodile. How is this paragraph organized?
11. Both humans and beavers change their surrounding to suit their needs, and from time to time,
these needs may come into conflict. Property owners, in particular, may experience unwanted
flooding. When conflicts arise, it’s better to seek long-range solutions. Destroying beavers just
creates vacant territory for new beavers to move in. Many property owners find success with
water flow devices, which prevent issues from flooding caused by beaver dams. Pipe system
devices control the water level in a beaver pond—offering a long-term solution for homeowners
while allowing beavers to continue maintaining precious wetlands. How is this passage

colonists from all positions of power, from judges to sheriffs, and restricted the colonial town
meetings. The colonists called these the Intolerable Acts and it made them angry. The colonies
formed the Continental Congress, their first united government, to demand fair treatment from
Britain, who in turn saw this as a state of rebellion. In response, Britain sent troops to stop the
riots and disband the militias that were forming. In April, the first shots were fired, and the
Revolutionary War was underway. How is this passage organized?

16. The tongue is the fleshy muscle inside the mouth. A tongue lets us taste because the top of the
tongue is made mostly of taste buds. Your tongue grows new taste buds about every two weeks.
It is also very flexible, so it also helps us eat. When we chew, the tongue and the cheeks work
together to constantly move the food between the teeth so that it can be chewed. The tongue
presses the crushed food against the palate and moves this bolus, which is then ready to be
swallowed. How is this passage organized?

jungles in the world are destroyed. The trees and green plants in the forests and jungles produce
oxygen, which is released into the atmosphere. Animals and people need this oxygen to breathe.
If huge areas of green plants and trees are destroyed, there will not be enough oxygen produced
to keep people and animals alive.

restore, or fix, ruined forest lands along with protecting areas of forests that already exist. It is not
a simple solution, be at least we can try.

would help eliminate the distractions phones provide. How is this passage organized?
