Which of the following is the most likely hypothesis for the experiment described above?
A Vegetation that grows near roadways requires more water than vegetation in other areas.
B De-icing solution causes roadways to have more space for vegetation.C Vegetation near roadways changes the effectiveness of de-icing
solution.D De-icing solution affects some types of vegetation that grows near roadways.
A De-Icing Experiment
Some species of plants that commonly grow near roadways are used in an experiment. The plant species are divided into control groups and experimental groups. All groups are grown under identical conditions except that the experimental groups are given daily applications of a de-icing solution that is used on roadways in winter. At the end of one month, the growth of the control group and experimental groups is compared.

Moon Chemistry Samples collected by Apollo astronauts have provided new data about the moon. Some of these samples consisted of lunar soil, a fine-grained, sand-like material produced as a result of the destruction of moon rocks. Traces of beryllium-10 were found in the samples. Beryllium-10 is carried by the solar wind, which transports elements from the sun’s surface and deposits them on the moon. The solar wind may also result in the formation of new substances. Tiny teardrops of iron and specks of molybdenum were found inside the particles of lunar soil. This is interesting because these elements have not been found in an uncombined state on Earth. The metal oxides they originally were part of were possibly changed when bombarded by the positively charged particles of the solar wind. Another interesting find was tiny (1 to 3 micrometers in length) crystals of silver sulfide. Because similar particles are found on Earth, it has been hypothesized that these crystals were created at a time when the moon had a molten core.
Which procedure is best to use when determining the density of a rock?
A. Place the rock in a water-filled beaker and find the height at which the rock floats above water.
B. Use a ruler to measure the rock’s dimensions and then find its mass using an analytical balance.
C. Measure the mass of the rock on a balance and then find the volume of water it displaces in a graduated cylinder.
D. Place the rock in three liquids with different densities and observe which liquid the rock floats in.
