Company executives believe marketing both products at once will substantially increase profits. They think some customers who would not have bought the full version will buy the partial version. Profits from seeing to those customers, they believe, will exceed the money lost by selling the partial version to customers who would have paid more for the full version if it were the only one avalabie.

Each of the two models explains how emotional information affects the processing of cognitive information in the human brain.

Both models seek primarily to describe how emotion is expressed in behavior.

E.

The assumptions of both models concerning the processing of visuospatial information are identical with those made by Karev.

Sizable amounts of ice on the moon could provide future moon dwellers with drinking water and, if they split the water into its atomic components, hydrogen for fuel and oxygen for air. For a decade, scientists have argued about whether there is Ice in the Shaddeton crater located at the moon's south pole. Radar signals reflected off the crater are consistent with one of two scenarios: either the crater contains ice or the crater has a highly rough surface. Many scientists believe that the Shackleton crater does contain ice because_________.

Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the argument above?

A.

ice is known to exist on many planetary moons

B.

radar signals reflected off the moon's dry, rough-surfaced Schomberger crater are not significantly different from the signals reflected off the Shackleton crater

C.

mass spectrometry analysis indicates higher hydrogen atom concentrations in the Shackleton cratef than are typical of rough lunar surfaces

D.

the Shackleton crater is in permanent shadow and so its temperature is well below freezing

E.

the moon has a few very rough areas, where its surface has not been sandblasted to a very fine dust

Morowa: As a general rule, those responsible for harming the environment should be responsible for fixing it. Thus, businesses should pay for and clean up environmental

problems they cause.

Thema: Are the businesses the only ones responsible? Oftentimes, consumers drive businesses to produce products in environmentally damaging ways by primarily

purchasing inexpensive items that disproportionally result in greater environmental harm.

Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest support for Morowa's argument in light of Thema's reply?

A.

Consumers of such products know that they are responsible for harming the environment.

B.

At least some consumers purchase products that they know are environmentally friendly.

C.

Most consumers purchase at least some products that do not substantially harm the environment.

D.

Being inexpensive does not necessarily result in environmental harm.

E.

Having businesses pay for and clean up their environmental problems can pass along some of the cost to consumers.

Although abundant in many areas of the southern United States, the evening bat has always been uncommon to rare across the northern part of its range—most of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio—their already small populations decreasing even further during the latter part of the twentieth century.

A.

their already small populations decreasing

B.

and already low populations decreased

C.

and their already small populations decreased

D.

their already low numbers decreasing

E.

and its already low numbers decreased

Which of the following would, if true, most help substantiate the highlighted claim In the first paragraph?

A.

The closer a planet is to its parent star, the more likely it is to be obscured by glare in Hubble images of that star.

B.

Astronomers calculate that most stars that have planets have at least one planet that orbits at a distance no less than that between HR 8799 and its outermost planet

C.

Many of the young stars photographed by Hubble produce at least as much mattered light as does HR 8799 though they distribute that light over a much area.

D.

In 1996, the astronomers examining the Hubble images were able to discern very few extrasolar planets despite having included a large number of images of your>g stars in their examinations.

E.

A large proportion of the stars that are shown in the archived Hubble images and suspected of spawning planets are at least as old as, if not substantially older than, HR 8799.

Riya: Chinese firms have had more success expancfing Wo East Africa than have firms from certain other countries in Asia, Europe, and North America. The Chinese government has coordinated with Chinese firms to have Chinese cultural productions, such as television dramas and news, translated into Swahili.

B.

Residents of East Africa have not developed a long-lasting preference for Chinese cultural productions over the productions of other non-East African countries.

C.

The Chinese government controls more of the cultural production in its home country than the governments of the other countries control In their home countries.
