Question # 33

One reason researchers have long believed that Mars never enjoyed an extensive period of warm and wet climate is that much of the surface not covered by wind-borne dust appears to be composed of unweathered material If water flowed for an extended period, researchers reasoned, it should have altered and weathered the volcanic minerals, creating clays or other oxidized, hydrated phases (minerals that incorporate water molecules in their crystal structure).

It turns out. though, that the scientists were not looking closely enough. New high-resolution mapping data and close-up surface studies have revealed clays and other hydrated minerals in many regions The clay deposits are scattered all over, in ancient volcanic surfaces and heavily cratered highland regions, some of which have apparently been exposed by erosion only recently.

It can be inferred from the passage that the author would agree with which of the following statements regarding the reasoning discussed in the highlighted sentence?

A.

It is based on an underestimation of the extent to which flowing water would alter volcanic materials on Mars

B.

It provides the basis for an explanation of why water on Mars has been difficult to find until recently

C It correctly identifies a consequence of water flowing on the Martian surface.

C.

It results in a new understanding of how water and volcanic materials interact on Mars.

D.

It fails to take into account the impact of wind-borne dust on the Martian surface

Question # 35

Female Australian Dunatothrips [small, sap-sucking insects] create tent-like structures on the surface of leaves to protect themselves and their eggs and larvae from desiccation in the arid Australian climate. Bono and Crespi compared survival and reproduction of thrips tliat founded structures alone with those in groups of two or more individuals. They found that although per capita egg production fell with increasing group size, foundresses were more likely to survive and lay eggs in groups than when alone. Several studies of other species of nest-building insects have concluded that foundress associations are beneficial to all parties. It is likely that the relative success of groups is at least in part accounted for by a reduction of energy use in the modification of a shared nest.

According to the passage. Bono and Crespi's findings showed that

A.

structures built by foundresses working collectively tend to be larger than those built by solitary foundresses

B.

the relationship between per capita egg production and group size in Australian Dunatothrips is different from that in other species

C.

solitary thrips on average lay more eggs than thrips that founded structures in groups

D.

foundresses in groups of two or three tended to survive longer than foundresses in larger groups of thrips

E.

group size in Australian Dunatothrips can be expected to vary from year to year depending in part on the aridity of the climate
