You are a conscientious and detail-oriented reading assistant who finds direct answers to questions in an informative passage. Consider the following passage and answer the question that follows.
--------------
"Children learn languages faster, more easily, and better than adults."

It's a crowd-pleaser, and a belief that has so nestled its way into the popular consciousness that it is rarely questioned or scrutinized. Its charm may come in part from the very personal nature of failure of language acquisition for many of its proponents. Perhaps belief in it acquits them of culpability for their own travails. Against this backdrop, a central theory has emerged.

Advocates of brain plasticity paint a picture of children's brains as spongy receptacles eagerly soaking up linguistic nuances. From this view, children waltz through language learning, rewiring and reorganizing their brains frequently. Meanwhile, adults lament their late start, toiling over grammar exercises and vocabulary lists with their ossified neurons. This glossy narrative forgets the sheer utility driving young learners. The transformation from a pre-linguistic state to a first-language speaker may be less a leisurely stroll in the park and more a survival sprint, motivated by the need to make sense of and navigate a bewildering world. That children acquire up to seven new words per day is cited to substantiate the ease of language absorption for children. However, might this voracious rate of word acquisition simply be evidence of the depth of need to express and satisfy basic preferences and make sense of basic experiences?

The comfort of an existing language, then, may be a double-edged sword for adult learners. On the one hand, it gives them a template of grammar and structure that becomes a toolkit to understand a new language. On the other, it relieves much of their primal need to navigate, narrate, and order the world around them, thus obviating the primary motivation for acquiring a second language.

Some of this urgency can be reclaimed through full-immersion programs, which force adults to step into environments where their native tongue loses any currency, and the new language again becomes a lifeline, not merely an academic pursuit.

The author's references "seven new words per day" (paragraph 3) in order to
(A) underscore an astounding fact
(B) revisit a commonly-held assumption
(C) derive an adaptable state from an inflexible one
(D) illustrate a bewildering environment
(E) contextualize a central theory

Mia had an idea. <MISSING CONTENT> One of the counselors replied, "I have the keys." He unlocked the door and together they ascended a narrow staircase.

She suggested they search the storage building for any leftover volleyballs.

You are a conscientious and detail-oriented reading assistant who answers questions using an informative passage. Consider the following passage and answer the question that follows.

Long ago, people didn't have refrigerators to keep their food fresh. Instead, they had to think of other ways to prevent their food from spoiling. One common method was to use salt. Salt pulls water out of food, which makes it hard for bacteria to grow and cause the food to go bad. This method was especially useful for preserving meat and fish, which are more likely to spoil quickly. Another method was to dry food in the sun, removing moisture and thus preserving it for longer periods. These ancient techniques allowed people to store food for months, even without the modern conveniences.

How did people in the past keep their food from spoiling and preserve it for weeks or months?
A) By keeping it in the shade or underground
B) By using a refrigerator
C) By preserving it with salt
D) By cooking it thoroughly over a fire

You are a conscientious and detail-oriented reading assistant who answers questions using an informative passage. Consider the following passage and answer the question that follows.

Imagine a world where every piece of garbage could be turned into something useful. Instead of plastic bottles sitting underground for thousands of years, they can be transformed into clothing, park benches, and even roads. Paper waste can be turned into paper bags and cardboard, reducing the need to cut down trees. Food waste can be composted to create nutrient-rich soil for gardens and parks. Currently, a barrier to these techniques is that it's often cheaper to simply discard waste than recycle it. One effort to change this is to require manufacturers to take back products after they are no longer useful and thus bear the cost of recycling them. This then encourages the manufacturer to make products easier to recycle, to produce less waste during the production process, and to use recycled materials even when new materials may be cheaper.

According to the passage, what is one proposed way to encourage recycling?
A) educating manufacturers about the benefits of reduction and reuse
B) identifying new products that can be made with recycled materials
C) shifting responsibility for the costs of recycling
D) reducing the amount of material that cannot be recycled

You are a helpful math assistant who solves math questions logically, using step-by-step reasoning. Answer the following question:

A rectangular garden has a length that is four times its width. If the perimeter of the garden is 60 feet, what is the width (in feet) of the garden?

You may begin with analysis, but you must end your answer with a new line and a concise representation of the correct answer.

Let the width of the garden be \( w \) feet.  
Then, the length is \( 4w \) feet.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
\[
2(\text{length} + \text{width}) = 60
\]

Substituting the expressions for length and width:
\[
2(4w + w) = 60
\]
\[
2(5w) = 60
\]
\[
10w = 60
\]
\[
w = 6
\]

Liking that made her feel funny.

Hortons Bay, the town, was only five houses on the main road between Boyne City and Charlevoix. There was the general store and postoffice with a high false front and maybe a wagon hitched out in front, Smith's house, Stroud's house, Fox's house, Horton's house and Van Hoosen's house. The houses were in a big grove of elm trees and the road was very sandy. There was farming country and timber each way up the road. Up the road a ways was the Methodist church and down the road the other direction was the township school. The blacksmith shop was painted red and faced the school.

You are a helpful math assistant who solves math questions logically, using step-by-step reasoning. Answer the following question:

  909

The three-digit integer above has exactly one duplicate digit, because the digit in the hundreds' place duplicates the digit in the ones' place. The integer 999 does not fit this definition because the digit 9 is duplicated twice. How many integers greater than 99 and less than 200 have exactly one duplicate digit?

You may begin with analysis, but you must end your answer with a new line and a concise representation of the correct answer.

To determine how many integers between 100 and 199 have exactly one duplicate digit, we analyze the structure of these three-digit numbers, which can be represented as **1XY**, where:

- **1** is fixed in the hundreds place.
- **X** is the digit in the tens place.
- **Y** is the digit in the ones place.

There are three scenarios where exactly one duplicate digit occurs:

1. **The hundreds and tens digits are the same (1X1):**
   - **X = 1**
   - **Y ≠ 1**
   - There are 9 possible values for **Y** (0, 2-9).

2. **The hundreds and ones digits are the same (11Y):**
   - **Y = 1**
   - **X ≠ 1**
   - There are 9 possible values for **X** (0, 2-9).

3. **The tens and ones digits are the same (1YY):**
   - **X = Y**
   - **Y ≠ 1**
   - There are 9 possible values for **Y** (0, 2-9).

Adding up the possibilities from all three scenarios:

- **9 (from 1X1) + 9 (from 11Y) + 9 (from 1YY) = 27**

**Answer:**
27

Based on the passage, which of the following best describes Jim Gilmore's appearance?
A) Tall and slender with a clean-shaven face
B) Short and dark with a big mustache and big hands
C) Blond and muscular with a prominent beard
D) Average height with a slight build and neatly combed hair

To determine the best description of Jim Gilmore's appearance, let's analyze the passage:

- **Height and Build**: The passage states that Jim was "short and dark," which rules out options A (tall) and D (average height with a slight build).
  
- **Facial Features**: Jim had "big mustaches," which contradicts option A (clean-shaven face) and option C (prominent beard as the passage only mentions mustaches).
  
- **Additional Details**: His "big hands" are also mentioned, aligning with option B.

Considering these points, option B accurately encapsulates the description provided in the passage.

You are a helpful math assistant who solves math questions logically, using step-by-step reasoning. Answer the following question:

Robert, a creative writing teacher, asks his students to write poetry verses. Each student is supposed to write n verses, plus twice as many verses as the number of their class rank. If the 7th student wrote 20 verses, what is the value of n?

You may begin with analysis, but you must end your answer with a new line and a concise representation of the correct answer.

Let's denote the class rank as \( r \). Each student writes \( n + 2r \) verses. For the 7th student (\( r = 7 \)), the total number of verses written is 20. 

Setting up the equation:
\[
n + 2(7) = 20
\]
\[
n + 14 = 20
\]
\[
n = 20 - 14
\]
\[
n = 6
\]

MW3	✅	✅	To determine how long it will take John to reach the park, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \] Given: - Distance = 60 miles - Speed = 30 mph Plugging in the values: \[ \text{Time} = \frac{60 \text{ miles}}{30 \text{ mph}} = 2 \text{ hours} \] 2
RCL4	✅	✅	The repetitive use of "She liked it" highlights the detailed and attentive way Liz observes and admires Jim, emphasizing the depth of her attention and interest in him. D
RCL5	✅	✅	The second and third paragraphs focus on Liz Coates, her appearance, her feelings toward Jim, and how Jim perceives her. While Jim doesn't reciprocate Liz's feelings, the paragraphs highlight the differing sentiments between Liz and Jim, essentially placing their feelings side by side to show the contrast in their emotions.

MW5	✅	✅	To determine how many integers between 100 and 199 have exactly one duplicate digit, we analyze the structure of these three-digit numbers, which can be represented as 1XY, where: - 1 is fixed in the hundreds place. - X is the digit in the tens place. - Y is the digit in the ones place. There are three scenarios where exactly one duplicate digit occurs: 1. The hundreds and tens digits are the same (1X1): - X = 1 - Y ≠ 1 - There are 9 possible values for Y (0, 2-9). 2. The hundreds and ones digits are the same (11Y): - Y = 1 - X ≠ 1 - There are 9 possible values for X (0, 2-9). 3. The tens and ones digits are the same (1YY): - X = Y - Y ≠ 1 - There are 9 possible values for Y (0, 2-9). Adding up the possibilities from all three scenarios: - 9 (from 1X1) + 9 (from 11Y) + 9 (from 1YY) = 27 Answer: 27

RCL1	✅	✅	To determine the best description of Jim Gilmore's appearance, let's analyze the passage: - Height and Build: The passage states that Jim was "short and dark," which rules out options A (tall) and D (average height with a slight build). - Facial Features: Jim had "big mustaches," which contradicts option A (clean-shaven face) and option C (prominent beard as the passage only mentions mustaches). - Additional Details: His "big hands" are also mentioned, aligning with option B. Considering these points, option B accurately encapsulates the description provided in the passage. B
MW1	✅	✅	Let's denote the class rank as \( r \). Each student writes \( n + 2r \) verses. For the 7th student (\( r = 7 \)), the total number of verses written is 20. Setting up the equation: \[ n + 2(7) = 20 \] \[ n + 14 = 20 \] \[ n = 20 - 14 \] \[ n = 6 \] 6
