Riding the mail plane is a low-budget way to visit America's largest national park--Wrangell-St. Elias--13 million acres of scenic beauty. Copper first drew prospectors to this part of Alaska. From 1911 to 1938, the Kennicott mine produced 200 million tons of it. Now a mecca for tourists, the town of Kennicott was abandoned to the ghosts when the copper ran out. Which of the following illustrates the correct sequence of events?

Physicists seek out those features of nature that are simple and universal. The secret of their success is not so much a matter of finding answers as it is asking the right questions. The trick is keeping the questions simple and sticking to universal phenomena. Simple questions can be answered unambiguously by careful observation of repeated experiments and by logical thinking. Which of the following questions is most clearly an example of the kind discussed in the paragraph?

An allergy is a hypersensitivity to substances that are essentially harmless. For as yet poorly understood reasons, the immune system malfunctions and marshals up an army of antibodies to fight these substances. For many allergies, this malfunction causes a large amount of histamine to flood into the bloodstream. It is the overabundance of histamine that causes allergic symptoms such as headaches, rashes, and sneezing. The passage states all of the following about allergies except?

Weather radar is a great help to pilots in detecting thunderstorms. However, pilots must be aware that radar does not reliably detect hail. Radar operates by transmitting a pulse of radio energy and receiving the pulse again after it is reflected by a target. Large raindrops, the kind found in intense thunderstorms, are the best radar reflectors and will show up as intense targets on the screen. Hail is somewhat porous and has an uneven structure; it tends to absorb or scatter the radar pulse rather than reflect it back to the antenna. According to the paragraph, weather radar does not reliably detect hail because of?

Physical sound energy is transmitted through the external ear (the pinna) and the middle ear to the inner ear, where it creates pressure waves in the fluid of the cochlea. There, hairs on the organ of Corti are moved by the pressure waves. The movement of the hairs starts the process by which nerve impulses are generated. Where is the organ of Corti located?

An analysis of the mandatory oil quota program shows that separate quotas were established for crude oil and for petroleum products. Petroleum products were divided into light products, mostly gasoline and jet fuel, and heavy or residual fuel oil products. The quota for crude oil imports was set at approximately 10% of crude oil consumption. The passage implies which of the following about the oil quota program?
