Hua was building an elaborate work of art made up of several pieces with precise angles. When measuring one of the crucial pieces seen below, his protractor broke before he could measure the final angle. Luckily, Hua was able to determine on his own the precise measurement.
What was the measurement of the angle?

Let's Break This Down Step by Step
Look at the diagram or the problem statement and find the two angles you are given. Here the two known angles are 25 degrees and 42 degree
Explain: these two angles together take up part of the triangle, so find their total size.
25 + 42 = 67 degrees. Say it out loud: the two known corners add to 67 degrees.
Explain: all three interior angles must add to 180 degrees. To find the missing angle, subtract the sum of the known angles from 180.
180 − 67 = 113 degrees. So the missing angle measures 113 degrees.
Select the correct answer and state it plainly
Answer (D) is correct.
Answer (A) is incorrect because 23 degrees would mean the known angles add to 157 degrees, which they do not. The given two angles total 67, so the missing angle cannot be that small.
Answer (B) is incorrect because 67 degrees is the sum of the two known angles, not the missing third angle. That value is already used in the subtraction.
Answer (C) is incorrect because 98 degrees does not equal 180 minus 67. It would come from 180 − 82, not our values.
Answer (E) is incorrect because 293 degrees is impossible for an interior angle of a triangle. Interior angles of a triangle must each be less than 180 degrees, and all three together equal 180 degrees.
Read the passage.
The Galápagos Islands are a group of islands located in the Pacific Ocean near the equator. Made up of 19 major islands and two smaller islets, the group is a province of Ecuador and is classified as both an Ecuadorian national park and a World Heritage Site. The Galápagos Islands' most famous feature is their wildlife, as a large number of these species are unique to the Galápagos.
According to the passage, the Galápagos Islands are not

Let's Break This Down Step by Step
Tell the student: the question asks which statement is not true according to the passage. That means three choices that are stated in the passage are wrong answers, and the one not mentioned in the passage is correct.
Scan the passage for direct claims. The passage says the Galápagos Islands are a province of Ecuador, are classified as an Ecuadorian national park, and are a World Heritage Site.
Choice A states they are a province of Ecuador. The passage says that explicitly, so A is stated and therefore not the correct answer to a not-question.
Choice B states they are a World Heritage Site. The passage says that explicitly, so B is stated.
Choice C states they are a national park of Ecuador. The passage says that explicitly, so C is stated.
Choice D states they are a popular tourist destination. The passage does not say this anywhere. Even though it might be true in real life, the question asks what the passage does not state.
Use elimination and choose the answer that is not supported by the passage.
Because A, B, and C are all directly supported by the passage, D is the correct choice for "not according to the passage."
Which of the sentences is punctuated correctly?
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
The correct answer is (D).
Let's Break This Down Step by Step
First, ask whether a sentence is speaking directly to a person or group. Words like Rachel, Sir, Manuel, or the phrase ladies and gentlemen show direct address. When you see direct address, you must use commas to set off the person or people being spoken to.
Explain the three positions and their comma patterns with short examples:
Name at the beginning: "Rachel, can you help me?" (comma after the name).
Name in the middle: "Thank you, Manuel, for your help." (comma before and after).
Name at the end: "Would you help me, Manuel?" (comma before the name).
Read each sentence aloud and insert commas where needed. If the sentence already has the correct commas in the correct places, it is punctuated correctly.
Choose the sentence that follows the rules exactly.
Only choice D, "Thank you, Manuel, for your help yesterday." correctly places commas around the name in the middle of the sentence. That makes it the correct answer.
Why the other options are incorrect
Answer (A) is incorrect because it should have a comma after the direct address phrase. It should read: "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?"
Answer (B) is incorrect because the comma placement is wrong. The correct form is: "It was nice to meet you, Sir." There should not be a comma after nice, and there should be a comma before Sir.
Answer (C) is incorrect because it is missing the comma after the name in direct address. It should read: "Rachel, can you bring me a glass of water?"
A photographer left a camera lens open for several hours at night.
The time-lapse image he captured showed a circular pattern in the night sky:
Select two correct conclusions that can be made from this photographic evidence.
Wrong
Correct!
Correct!
Wrong
The correct answers: B, C.
Why B is correct: The stars aren’t actually moving in circles — it’s the Earth that’s spinning! Earth rotates (spins) on its axis once every 24 hours. Because we are standing on Earth and spinning with it, it looks to us like the stars are the ones moving across the sky, just like how trees seem to move past you when you spin around on a carousel.
Why C is correct: Look at the center of the circular pattern in the photo. There’s one point that doesn’t seem to move at all – everything else circles around it. That point is Polaris, the North Star. Polaris appears to stay still because it is located almost exactly above Earth’s North Pole – the point around which Earth spins. Since Earth’s axis points directly at Polaris, that star doesn’t seem to move while everything else circles around it, like the center of a carousel stays still while the edges spin.
➤ The circular trails in the photo are our evidence that Earth is rotating. If Earth stood still, the stars would appear as fixed dots, not arcs. The longer the exposure, the longer the arcs – which tells us Earth kept spinning the entire time the camera was open.
Why are the other answers wrong?
A: The stars are not physically flying in giant circles through space. They only appear to move that way because Earth is rotating. This is similar to sitting in a car and feeling like the trees are moving backward – but it’s actually you who is moving forward. Stars are actually extremely far away and barely move at all (relative to us).
D: Stars don't orbit the Moon. The Moon is much smaller than stars and orbits Earth, it has nothing to do with other stars apparent motion.
