Questions
In the Americаn Sоuthwest, аnnuаlly emerging cicadas are dependent upоn the cоttonwood trees in the floodplain. Adult male cicadas perch in the cottonwood trees and chirp to attract females. Females lay their eggs in the branches of the cottonwoods, and, upon hatching, the cicada nymphs drop to the ground, burrow into the soil, feed on the tree roots, and later emerge as adults. Other organisms in the floodplain community prey on the cicadas, as shown in the food web. Arrows extend from the cicada to a yellow billed cuckoo, a sparrow, a lizard, a wasp, a black widow, and a kestrel. An arrow extends from a cottonwood to the cicada. An arrow extends from a lizard to a kestrel. An arrow extends from a sparrow to a kestrel. An arrow extends from a yellow billed cuckoo to a kestrel. Figure 1. Food web in floodplain community Human activity has caused a decrease in the amount of flooding and an increase in the incidence of wildfires in the floodplain. In an investigation into the recent changes in the floodplain ecosystem, researchers monitored the soil temperature, amount of cottonwood ground coverage (i.e., area of the ground that is shaded by leaves), and cicada emergence for a period from mid-June until late July. The results of the investigation are represented in Figure 2 and Figure 3. The horizontal axis is labeled “Cottonwood Ground Coverage, in percent,” and the numbers O through 100, in increments of 20, are indicated. The vertical axis is labelled “Mean June Soil Temperature, in degrees Celsius,” and the numbers 18 through 28, in increments of 2, are indicated. The line of best fit is shown. The line begins at the point with coordinates 2 percent of cottonwood ground coverage comma 25 degrees Celsius and moves directly downward and to the right ending at the point with coordinates go percent cottonwood ground coverage and 19 degrees Celsius. Figure 2. Effect of cottonwood ground coverage on soil temperature The horizontal axis is labeled “Mean June Soil Temperature, in degrees Celsius,’ and the numbers 18 through 28, in increments of 2, are indicated. The vertical axis is labeled “Mean Emergence Date,’ and the dates 6 13 through 7 23, in increments of 5 days, are indicated. The line of best fit is shown. The line begins at the point with coordinates 19 degrees Celsius comma the date 7 21 and moves directly downward and to the right ending at the point with coordinates 26 point 5 degrees Celsius comma the date 6 13. Figure 3. Relationship between soil temperature and cicada emergence date To assess the impact of wildfires on soil temperature and cicada emergence, the researchers compared mean emergence dates for two natural sites where portions had been affected by wildfire. In addition, cicada emergence was monitored at an experimental site where the soil temperature was experimentally maintained. The data are shown in the table. MEAN CICADA EMERGENCE DATES AT SITES AFFECTED BY WILDFIRES OR WITH EXPERIMENTALLY CONTROLLED SOIL TEMPERATURE The table shows Mean cicada emergency dates for Natural Site 1, Natural Site 2, and Experimental Site. For Natural Site 1, the Mean Emergency Date for Unburned is July 8, and for Burned is June 18. For Natural Site 2, the Mean Emergency Date for Unburned is July 15, and for Burned is July 3. For Experimental Site, the Mean Emergency Date for 24 degree Celsius is July 14, and for 27 degree Celsius is July 5. Based on the data, which of the following describes the most likely relationship between wildfires, soil temperature, and the timing of cicada emergence in the same year?

(04.01 HC)Reаd the fоllоwing excerpt frоm Mаry Wollstonecrаft's Letters Written During A Short Residence In Sweden, Norway, and Denmark and answer the question that follows.The crossroad to it was rugged and dreary; and though a considerable extent of land was cultivated on all sides, yet the rocks were entirely bare, which surprised me, as they were more on a level with the surface than any I had yet seen. On inquiry, however, I learnt that some years since a forest had been burnt. This appearance of desolation was beyond measure gloomy, inspiring emotions that sterility had never produced. Fires of this kind are occasioned by the wind suddenly rising when the farmers are burning roots of trees, stalks of beans, &c, with which they manure the ground. The devastation must, indeed, be terrible, when this, literally speaking, wildfire, runs along the forest, flying from top to top, and crackling amongst the branches. The soil, as well as the trees, is swept away by the destructive torrent; and the country, despoiled of beauty and riches, is left to mourn for ages.

(05.02 HC) Reаd the pаired texts belоw, “A Sight in Cаmp in the Daybreak Gray and Dim” by Walt Whitman and “Furl that Banner” by Abram Jоseph Ryan. Then answer the questiоn that follows. "A Sight in Camp in the Daybreak Gray and Dim"by Walt WhitmanA SIGHT in camp in the daybreak gray and dim,As from my tent I emerge so early sleepless,As slow I walk in the cool fresh air the path near by the hospital tent,Three forms I see on stretchers lying, brought out there untended lying,Over each the blanket spread, ample brownish woolen blanket,Gray and heavy blanket, folding, covering all.Curious I halt and silent stand,Then with light fingers I from the face of the nearest the first just lift the blanket;Who are you elderly man so gaunt and grim, with well-gray'd hair, and flesh all sunken about the eyes?Who are you my dear comrade?Then to the second I step—and who are you my child and darling?Who are you sweet boy with cheeks yet blooming?Then to the third—a face nor child nor old, very calm, as of beautiful yellow-white ivory;Young man I think I know you—I think this face is the face of the Christ himself,Dead and divine and brother of all, and here again he lies. from "Furl that Banner"by Abram Joseph RyanFurl that banner! furl it sadly!Once ten thousands hailed it gladly.And ten thousands wildly, madly, Swore it should forever wave;Swore that foeman's sword should neverHearts like theirs entwined dissever,Till that flag should float forever O'er their freedom or their grave!Furl it! for the hands that grasped it,And the hearts that fondly clasped it,Cold and dead are lying low;And that Banner—it is trailing!While around it sounds the wailing Of its people in their woe.For, though conquered, they adore it!Love the cold, dead hands that bore it!Weep for those who fell before it!Pardon those who trailed and tore it! But, oh! wildly they deplored it! Now who furl and fold it so.Furl that Banner! true, 'tis gory,Yet 'tis wreathed around with glory,And 'twill live in song and story, Though its folds are in the dust;For its fame on brightest pages,Penned by poets and by sages,Shall go sounding down the ages— Furl its folds though now we must.Furl that banner, softly, slowly!Treat it gently—it is holy— For it droops above the dead.Touch it not—unfold it never,Let it droop there, furled forever,For its people's hopes are dead!

(06.03 MC)Reаd the pоem "Wаr Dreаms" by Walt Whitman. Then answer the questiоn that fоllows.WAR DREAMS1.In clouds descending, in midnight sleep, of many a face in battle,Of the look at first of the mortally wounded, of that indescribable look,Of the dead on their backs, with arms extended wide— I dream, I dream, I dream.2.Of scenes of nature, the fields and the mountains, Of the skies so beauteous after the storm, and at night the moon so unearthly bright, Shining sweetly, shining down, where we dig the trenches, and gather the heaps— I dream, I dream, I dream.3.Long have they passed, long lapsed—faces, and trenches, and fields:Long through the carnage I moved with a callous composure, or away from thefallenOnward I sped at the time. But now of their faces and forms, at night, I dream, I dream, I dream. (Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.
