question: Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?

choice: (A) The magnetic force is weaker in Pair 1. (B) The magnetic force is weaker in Pair 2. (C) The strength of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.

context: The images below show two pairs of magnets. The magnets in different pairs do not affect each other. All the magnets shown are made of the same material.

gold answer: B

wrong prediction:

Rationale:

0: Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching.
1: When magnets attract, they pull together.
2: When magnets repel, they push apart.
3: These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces.
4: The stronger the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other.
5: You can change the strength of a magnetic force between two magnets by changing the distance between them.
6: The magnetic force is weaker when the magnets are farther apart.
7: Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force.
8: When magnets are farther apart, the magnetic force between them is weaker.
9: The magnets in Pair 1 are farther apart than the magnets in Pair 2.
10: So, the magnetic force is weaker in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.
11: The answer is A.

question: Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?

choice: (A) sample A (B) sample B (C) neither; the samples have the same temperature

context: The diagrams below show two pure samples of gas in identical closed, rigid containers. Each colored ball represents one gas particle. Both samples have the same number of particles.

gold answer: A

wrong prediction:

Rationale:

0: The temperature of a substance depends on the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance.
1: The higher the average kinetic energy of the particles, the higher the temperature of the substance.
2: The kinetic energy of a particle is determined by its mass and speed.
3: For a pure substance, the greater the mass of each particle in the substance and the higher the average speed of the particles, the higher their average kinetic energy.
4: The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample B has more mass than each particle in sample A.
5: So, the particles in sample B have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample A.
6: Because the particles in sample B have the higher average kinetic energy, sample B must have the higher temperature.
7: The answer is B.

0: Guide words appear on each page of a dictionary.
1: They tell you the first word and last word on the page.
2: The other words on the page come between the guide words in alphabetical order.
3: To put words in alphabetical order, put them in order by their first letters.
4: If the first letters are the same, look at the second letters.
5: If the second letters are the same, look at the third letters, and so on.
6: If one word is shorter, and there are no more letters to compare, then the shorter word comes first in alphabetical order.
7: For example, be comes before bed.
8: Put the words in alphabetical order.
9: Since national is between the guide words nickel - nurse, it would be found on that page.
10: The answer is A.

question: Will these magnets attract or repel each other?

choice: (A) attract (B) repel

context: Two magnets are placed as shown.

gold answer: B

wrong prediction:

Rationale:

0: Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching.
1: When magnets attract, they pull together.
2: When magnets repel, they push apart.
3: Whether a magnet attracts or repels other magnets depends on the positions of its poles, or ends.
4: Every magnet has two poles: north and south.
5: Here are some examples of magnets.
6: The north pole of each magnet is labeled N, and the south pole is labeled S. If opposite poles are closest to each other, the magnets attract.
7: The magnets in the pair below attract.
8: If the same, or like, poles are closest to each other, the magnets repel.
9: The magnets in both pairs below repel.
10: To predict if these magnets will attract or repel, look at which poles are closest to each other.
11: The north pole of one magnet is closest to the south pole of the other magnet.
12: Opposite poles attract.
13: So, these magnets will attract each other.
14: The answer is A.

question: Which of the following best describes a community on a coral reef in Hawaii?

choice: (A) the snowflake moray eels and the stareye parrotfish (B) a school of convict tangs (C) the sand, the rocks, and the coral

context: Read the passage. Then answer the question below. A coral reef in Hawaii has hundreds of fish species. Many of the fish are active during the day. For example, species such as convict tangs and stareye parrotfish swim in schools as they feed on seaweed that grows on the reef. At night, other fish species, such as snowflake moray eels, come out to hunt. When they are not active, some fish take shelter among the many species of coral on the reef. Other fish hide in the sand and rocks that cover the seafloor. Figure: a school of convict tangs on a Hawaiian coral reef.
