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
organized?

tongue is made mostly of taste buds. Your tongue grows new taste buds about every two weeks.

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?
