Question 1 of 3
Read the two excerpts below.
Excerpt A: "When plastic bottles are thrown away, they often end up in landfills where they take hundreds of years to decompose. This leads to soil contamination and harms wildlife."
Excerpt B: "Many families in the desert have trouble getting clean drinking water. To solve this, they built a solar‑powered water filtration system that removes impurities, providing safe water for everyone."
Which statement correctly compares the overall organizational structure of the two excerpts?
Question 2 of 3
Read the two passages below.
Passage 1: When a forest is cut down, the soil loses its anchor. Without trees, rainwater washes the soil away, causing landslides. The loss of trees also reduces the amount of carbon dioxide the forest can absorb, leading to higher atmospheric CO₂ levels.
Passage 2: Many schools have too much paper waste. To fix this, they started a recycling program where used paper is collected and sent to a facility that turns it into new notebooks. As a result, the amount of trash in the school’s landfill has dropped dramatically.
Which pair of organizational structures correctly describes Passage 1 and Passage 2?
Question 3 of 3
Read the two passages below.
Passage A: "A butterfly begins its life as a tiny egg. After a few days, the egg hatches into a caterpillar. The caterpillar eats leaves and grows quickly. When it is large enough, it forms a chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar changes into an adult butterfly, which then flies away."
Passage B: "Recycling paper helps protect forests. When paper is recycled, fewer new trees need to be cut down. Cutting fewer trees means that animals lose less habitat, and the air stays cleaner. Therefore, recycling reduces environmental damage."
Which statement correctly compares the overall structure of Passage A and Passage B?
