Electric companies that use wind turbines rely on weather forecasts to predict the maximum amount of power, in megawatt-
hours (MWh), they can generate using wind so that they can determine how much they’ll need to generate from other
sources. When winds are stronger than they were forecast to be, however, the predicted maximum amount of electricity wind
turbines could generate will be too low. For example, the graph shows that for the West region, the winds were ______

Which choice most effectively uses data from the graph to complete the example?

A. strong enough to generate about 150 thousand more MWh of electricity from wind turbines.

B. so weak that the electricity from wind turbines was about 175 thousand MWh less than predicted.

C. so weak that the electricity from wind turbines was about 150 thousand MWh less than predicted.

D. strong enough to generate about 175 thousand more MWh of electricity from wind turbines.

The table shows data from paleontologist Angélica Torices and colleagues’ 2021 study of two sets of dinosaur tracks
preserved in a fossilized lake bed in Spain. The tracks, referred to as La Torre 6A and La Torre 6B, were left by two individual
theropods (dinosaurs that walked on two legs). The team’s findings suggest that of the two theropods, the one that left the
La Torre 6B tracks had a higher maximum mean speed, ______

Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the claim?

A. a longer footprint, and a longer average stride.

B. a longer footprint, and a shorter average stride.

C. a shorter footprint, and a longer average stride.

D. a shorter footprint, and a shorter average stride.

Teec Nos Pos 94° 65°

Cameron 99° 65°

Ramah 83° 50°

Tuba City 83° 50°

The Navajo Nation has the largest land area of any tribal nation in the United States: over 27,000 square miles in the
Southwest. Because this area is so huge and its communities are located at various elevations, the people of the Navajo
Nation can experience different climate conditions depending on where they live. For example, in July, ______

Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the statement?

A. the lowest temperature for both Cameron and Teec Nos Pos was 65°.

B. Tuba City’s average highest temperature was 94°, while Teec Nos Pos’s was 93°.

C. Ramah’s average highest temperature was 83°, while Cameron’s was 99°.

D. the lowest temperature for both Ramah and Tuba City was 50°.

Copper had been mined in the US for thousands of years, but large-scale commercial mining of copper took off starting in
the late 1800s. This was due to several factors. Technological advancements in the mining industry led to improvements in
the production of copper. This helped the country keep up with the growing number of people wanting to buy copper starting
in the 1890s. At the same time, the growth of the railroad system made the transportation of copper in large batches much
easier. Several states saw rapid growth in the production of this resource, for example: ______

Which choice most effectively uses the data in the graph to complete the example?

A. The rise in copper production in Michigan slowed from 1902 to 1909.

B. Montana and Arizona produced more copper than Michigan did in 1909.

C. Fewer than 100 million pounds of copper were produced in Arizona in 1889.

D. Copper production rose significantly from 1889 to 1909 for Arizona, Michigan, and Montana.

By the early 1900s, the Singer Corporation, a US sewing machine manufacturer founded in 1851, began to see rapidly
increasing sales abroad, particularly in Russia, Germany, and the United Kingdom. These markets were responsible for the
bulk of Singer’s overseas sales, but demand for the company’s machines in other countries also grew significantly in the
early twentieth century. For instance, sales of their sewing machines in ______

Two kinds of clamshell tools used by Neanderthals were dug up in a cave on the western coast of Italy. Archaeologist Paola
Villa and her colleagues studied the tools and determined that Neanderthals either collected clams that had washed onto
the beach or harvested clams from the seafloor and then sharpened the shells to make tools. The highest number of tools
made from clamshells that were collected from the beach was found at a depth of ______
