Depending on the time of year, different substances play a greater role in providing ground covering. In the winter months, ice and snow can together constitute nearly half of what covers the ground in a given area. In the summer, the ice and snow melt away, leaving virtually nothing but sediment on the ground. So, while the ice and snow will vary quite a bit from month to month, the amount of sediment on the ground __________

Some researchers argue that knowledge about the typical family perception of common stressors can be helpful to psychologists in anticipating what life events are most likely and least likely to cause patients stress. A college professor takes a different approach, arguing that some events are not consistently viewed as positive or negative by patients, making it more challenging for psychologists to predict how patients will perceive life events.
Which choice gives an example from the table that the college professor would most likely cite to support her argument?

It is critical that doctors not overprescribe antibiotics to patients. While it is difficult for a doctor to ignore the illness of the patient in their immediate care, they must consider that by prescribing antibiotics to those patients not in an acute situation, they might be contributing to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The increasing speed at which antibiotic-resistant bacteria develop after the discovery of a new antibiotic underscores the critical need for doctors to be prudent in their prescriptions.

During the colonial era, when the Iroquois remained unified, they represented a major obstacle to the advancement of European settlers on the American continent. Once the Iroquois became disunited, however, they became a less formidable opponent to settlers, eventually leading to their conquest. The historical turning point from the period of Iroquois unity to disunity is typically seen as __________

Tortoiseshell cats have a coat that contains a mixture of orange and black fur, while calico cats have orange, white, and black patches. Cats with these two coat variations have a lot in common, including the reason why they have both orange and black fur. Nearly all tortoiseshell and calico cats are female. This is because the gene that dictates whether the cat’s fur is orange or black is located on the X chromosome. Since male cats have XY chromosomes, they will usually only have one allele coding for either orange fur or black fur. As indicated in a recent breeding study in which a calico cat was bred with an orange cat, with the results in the accompanying graph, it is most likely that these two groupings of cat coloration would have some male members: __________

To investigate the popularity of web usage by high school students, a sociologist utilized a study from the 2010s that asked teens not just if they used the Internet, but how frequently they used the Internet daily. The sociologist concluded that between the years of 2014 and 2018, while there was not a significant change in those teens who chose to use the Internet, the frequency of their Internet use increased significantly.

Between the years 2008 and 2015, the NASA space program had changing priorities. At the beginning of the time period, manned space missions were a significant component of the program budget, while towards the end of the time period, exploration missions took on a greater role. One thing that was constant, however, was growth in the overall NASA budget. One component of the budget consistently mirrored the changes in the overall NASA budget over this time period: __________
