1NORTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN—Scientists have discovered a new, currently unnamed island in the northern Pacific Ocean. The small island is located in an isolated area between Hawaii and the Marshall Islands. Scientists believe that an erupting volcano formed the island. The new land mass measures roughly two square miles and rises nearly ten feet above sea level.
2Islands form when magma inside the earth spills onto the earth’s surface. Once magma hits the planet’s surface, it is called lava. The erupted lava then cools and hardens to form rocks and land. Scientists believe the volcano that created this new island has been erupting under the ocean for hundreds of years. Nevertheless, the lava has only recently risen above the water’s surface to form land. Scientists think the new island will expand as the volcano continues to erupt.
3The theory of plate movement informs scientists’ knowledge of volcanoes. Scientists believe the earth’s crust consists of eight major, as well as dozens of minor, pieces of land called plates. These plates float on a sea of magma that flows under the earth’s surface. The plates’ movements cause continents to shift and mountains to form. They are also responsible for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
4Volcanoes can form in three ways. Some volcanoes form when the earth’s plates separate and pull apart from each other. The movement allows magma to bubble up in the gap between the plates. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge under the Atlantic Ocean is formed by separating plates. Although few people know about, it is actually the earth’s longest mountain chain.
5Volcanoes can also occur when one plate is forced underneath another. The lower plate melts into magma, which later erupts from the earth as lava. The volcanoes in a part of the Pacific Ocean known as the Ring of Fire were formed in this way.
6The final way that volcanoes can occur is when hot spots of magma burn through thin parts of the earth’s crust. Hot spots formed the Hawaiian Islands and the new unnamed Pacific island. The lava released from hot spot volcanoes typically flows slowly from the volcano’s cone.
7Scientists plan to continue studying the new volcanic island in the hope of learning more about the forces that shape the earth and its land masses.
The correct answer to 19) is A: to inform.
The purpose of this article is to inform, that is, to explain and tell someone about particular facts; in this particular case, the authors informs about the discovery of a new unnamed island in the northern Pacific Ocean. This article seek to explain how volcanoes are formed and how important or relevant these volcanoes are to Earth.
The other options are not possible answers since the article does not include specific vocabulary or literary techniques that may influence the readers or make them think in a particular way. Moreover, the article is not written to entertain the readers since it only presents factual information for those who are interested in these kind of topics or who want to learn about this new discovery.
The correct answer to 20) is A: the author's purpose is to inform the reader about how a new Pacific island was formed.
As explained above, the author wants to share with the audience the discovery of a new unnamed island in the Pacific Ocean. The author presents explicit information about the island, such as location and dimension, and then he/she provides factual details about how volcanoes are formed and how these eruptions affect the Earth's surface and plates.
For this reason, the other options are not possible. The author does not present jokes nor expressions to make the readers laugh. Moreover, the author does not explain the uses people can make on this island and he does not describe the flora and fauna (plants and animals) that may live on this island.

If you wanted to tell if the supporting sentences in a paragraph did a good job of supporting the main idea, which of the following questions would you want to ask?
A. What is the author's name?
B. How do you know?
C. Where does the scene in the paragraph take place?
D. What is the point?
The correct option is D. What is the point? it directly relates to the main idea and whether the supporting sentences contribute to its development and clarification.
To determine if the supporting sentences in a paragraph effectively support the main idea, one must first identify the main idea, which is often encapsulated in the question What is the point? The main idea is the central message or the most important thought that the author wants to convey in the paragraph. Once the main idea is clear, each supporting sentence should provide evidence, examples, or further explanation that reinforces this central message.
Here's why the other options are not as relevant:
A. What is the author's name? - Knowing the author's name does not provide information about how well the supporting sentences support the main idea. The identity of the author might be useful for other purposes, such as citing the work or understanding the author's perspective, but it does not directly help in evaluating the paragraph's content.
B. How do you know? - While this question can be useful in a broader sense to understand the basis of the main idea or the supporting details, it does not directly address whether the supporting sentences align with the main idea. It is more about the source or evidence behind the statements rather than their relevance to the main idea.
C. Where does the scene in the paragraph take place? - The setting of a paragraph can provide context and contribute to the understanding of the main idea, but it does not assess the effectiveness of the supporting sentences. The location alone does not indicate whether the supporting sentences are doing a good job of reinforcing the main idea.

Final answer:
'Do not go gentle into that good night' is a poem by Dylan Thomas that uses figurative language to convey its message about mortality and the importance of living boldly. The figurative language in the poem includes metaphors, repetition, personification, and hyperbole.
Explanation:
'Do not go gentle into that good night' is a poem by Dylan Thomas that makes use of figurative language to convey its message. One example of figurative language in the poem is the use of the metaphor 'that good night' to represent death or the end of life. Another example is the repetition of the phrase 'Rage, rage against the dying of the light,' which creates a powerful image of resistance and defiance in the face of death.
Other forms of figurative language used in the poem include personification, where death is given human qualities, and hyperbole, where the intensity of emotion is exaggerated. Overall, the use of figurative language in 'Do not go gentle into that good night' adds depth and complexity to the poem's themes of mortality and the struggle to live a meaningful life.

This World War II poster was designed to encourage Americans to avoid sharing information that could hurt the war effort. Analyze the types of appeal used in the poster. Use your findings and examples from the poster to explain whether this is an argument or persuasion. Answer in a minimum of three complete sentences.

This is an example of persuasion, as it attempts to convince the audience of the dangers of spies. However, it does not provide any logical explanation as to why this is such a serious risk.

In 1959, the Federal Aviation Agency identified Fiorini as the pilot of a plane that dropped anti-Castro leaflets over Havana. Described in newspaper clippings as a “soldier of fortune,” Fiorini reportedly was head of the International anticommunist Brigade, after the Bay of Pigs invasion, that trained 23 Cuban exiles who in 1962 landed by boat in Cuba’s Matanzas Province and set up guerrilla operations.

A.The details show Fiorini has a history of criminal activity.
B.The details provide an explanation for why Fiorini did what he did.
C.The details illustrate the way Fiorini's past influenced his behavior.
D.The details explain Fiorini's past in a way that explains his crime.
Answer: A.The details show Fiorini has a history of criminal activity.
In this excerpt, we learn a little more about Fiorini. We are told that Fiorini was the Head of the International Anticommunist Brigade. We also learn that this brigade trained 23 Cuban exiles who set up guerrilla operations. These details allow us to develop a clearer picture of Fiorini and his past, which allows us to understand the character of this man better. By learning that Fiorini has a criminal past, his actions become more understandable, and this clarity contributes to developing the central idea of the text.

Normalization means that there are no data entry errors in a database.
a. True
b. False
The statement "Normalization means that there are no data entry errors in a database" is false. The correct option is b.
What is normalization?Database normalization is the process of structuring a relational database's columns and tables to reduce repetition and dependency.
Normalization typically entails breaking down huge tables into smaller (less redundant) tables and creating relationships between them. Most databases do not support the import of data from other software applications.
The goal of normalization is to isolate data so that additions, deletions, and alterations to a field can be made in a single table and then accessed through specified relationships throughout the remainder of the database.
Therefore, the correct option is b, false.
