Read this excerpt from "A Drop in the Bucket." In one of the Smithsonian’s curation rooms, she carefully places "Diane France's brain" on a table and props it up around the edges with clay. But the clay doesn't stick to the table, and the brain loses its shape. That's no good. Next, she tries putting the brain in a pan and smooshes clay around the inside edge of the container. Still no good. Finally, after more trial and error, Diane grabs a stainless steel bowl—just like the one in her kitchen—and presses clay in a ring around the curved bottom. She adds a layer of formalin-soaked paper towels to keep the bottom of the brain damp. Then, she carefully nestles the brain in the ring. It works! The brain holds its shape as she coats the top with a liquid form of silicone rubber. The rubber hardens to make one-half of a mold. Which detail from the excerpt identifies a problem? “But the clay doesn’t stick to the table, and the brain loses its shape.” “Next, she tries putting the brain in a pan and smooshes clay around the inside edge.” “She adds a layer of formalin-soaked paper towels to keep the bottom of the brain damp.” “Finally, after more trial and error, Diane grabs a stainless steel bowl.”

Which sentence from the passage best supports the idea that Nessie is not a plesiosaur?
As a result, there is probably not enough food to support such a large creature.

Second, it's unlikely that the same creature has lived in the loch since the last ice age.

So from a purely logical standpoint, the existence of such a large and ancient creature is unlikely.

With cell phones and digital cameras, one would think that sightings of Nessie would increase.

Excerpt from The Raven
By Brothers Grimm

Looking out from his hut one day he saw three robbers fighting and he called out to them. They stopped when they heard the call, but looking round and seeing nobody, they went on again with their fighting, which now became more furious. He cried out again, and again they paused and looked about, but seeing no one went back to their fighting. A third time he called out, and then thinking he should like to know the cause of dispute between the three men, he went out and asked them why they were fighting so angrily with one another. One of them said that he had found a stick, and that he had but to strike it against any door through which he wished to pass, and it immediately flew open. Another told him that he had found a cloak which rendered its wearer invisible; and the third had caught a horse which would carry its rider over any obstacle, and even up the glass mountain. They had been unable to decide whether they would keep together and have the things in common, or whether they would separate. On hearing this, the man said, ‘I will give you something in exchange for those three things; not money, for that I have not got, but something that is of far more value. I must first, however, prove whether all you have told me about your three things is true.’ The robbers, therefore, made him get on the horse, and handed him the stick and the cloak, and when he had put this round him he was no longer visible. Then he fell upon them with the stick and beat them one after another, crying, ‘There, you idle vagabonds, you have got what you deserve; are you satisfied now!’ After this he rode up the glass mountain.

Read this excerpt from White Fang.

Hated by his kind and by mankind, indomitable, perpetually warred upon and himself waging perpetual war, his development was rapid and one-sided. This was no soil for kindliness and affection to blossom in. Of such things he had not the faintest glimmering. The code he learned was to obey the strong and to oppress the weak. Grey Beaver was a god, and strong. Therefore White Fang obeyed him. But the dog younger or smaller than himself was weak, a thing to be destroyed.

Which best describes the force that influences White Fang’s code of conduct?

A: an external force based on other characters
B: an external force based on the wilderness setting
C: an internal force based on White Fang’s feelings
D: an internal force based on White Fang’s instincts
