question: Would you find the word blanket on a dictionary page with the following guide words? bass - bottle

choice: (A) yes (B) no

gold answer: A

wrong prediction:

Rationale:

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 blanket is not between the guide words bass - bottle, it would not be found on that page.
10: The answer is B.

question: Which solution has a higher concentration of green particles?

choice: (A) Solution B (B) neither; their concentrations are the same (C) Solution A

context: The diagram below is a model of two solutions. Each green ball represents one particle of solute.

gold answer: B

wrong prediction:

Rationale:

0: A solution is made up of two or more substances that are completely mixed.
1: In a solution, solute particles are mixed into a solvent.
2: The solute cannot be separated from the solvent by a filter.
3: For example, if you stir a spoonful of salt into a cup of water, the salt will mix into the water to make a saltwater solution.
4: In this case, the salt is the solute.
5: The water is the solvent.
6: The concentration of a solute in a solution is a measure of the ratio of solute to solvent.
7: Concentration can be described in terms of particles of solute per volume of solvent.
8: concentration = particles of solute / volume of solvent In Solution A and Solution B, the green particles represent the solute.
9: To figure out which solution has a higher concentration of green particles, look at both the number of green particles and the volume of the solvent in each container.
10: Use the concentration formula to find the number of green particles per milliliter.
11: Solution A has more green particles per milliliter.
12: So, Solution A has a higher concentration of green particles.
13: The answer is C.

12: Chiasmus is an expression in which the second half parallels the first but reverses the order of words.
13: Never let a fool kiss you or a kiss fool you.
14: Understatement involves deliberately representing something as less serious or important than it really is.
15: As you know, it can get a little cold in the Antarctic.
16: The text uses apostrophe, a direct address to an absent person or a nonhuman entity.
17: Neil Armstrong directs his statement to the absent people of Earth.
18: The answer is A.

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

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

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: C

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.

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

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

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: C

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 strength of a force is called its magnitude.
5: The greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other.
6: You can change the magnitude of a magnetic force between two magnets by changing the distance between them.
7: The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller when there is a greater distance between the magnets.
8: Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force.
9: When there is a greater distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is smaller.
10: There is a greater distance between the magnets in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.
11: So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.
12: The answer is B.
