  1. Key ideas and details1 of 2

    A researcher studying the effects of sleep deprivation on college students finds that students who slept fewer than six hours the night before an exam scored, on average, twelve points lower than students who slept eight hours. What is the main idea of this passage?

    The answer

    Answer: B. The finding links fewer than six hours of sleep to scores twelve points lower, so the central claim is that sleep deprivation hurts academic performance. Nothing in the passage discusses exam timing, so rescheduling exams is an unsupported recommendation. The study compares six and eight hours but never says exactly eight is required for everyone. How often college students get enough sleep is never measured, so that option adds information the passage lacks.

    Read the following passage: 'The Great Barrier Reef, located off the coast of Australia, spans over 1,400 miles and is visible from space. Rising ocean temperatures have caused widespread coral bleaching events in recent years.' Based on the passage, which conclusion can be drawn?

    The answer

    Answer: B. Rising ocean temperatures causing widespread bleaching is evidence that environmental change threatens the reef's health. The passage says the reef spans over 1,400 miles, not exactly 1,400 miles in every direction. It states the reef is visible from space, the opposite of the claim that it no longer is. Tourism is never mentioned, so a tourism ban cannot be concluded.
