A meteorologist reads a barometer at 9:00 a.m. He reads it again in the afternoon and notices a significant drop in pressure. Which choice describes the most likely weather in the evening for that location?

Questions 3–7 are part of an item set. Use the following information to answer the questions.

Measuring Motion
Ziba played with a toy truck that could hold up to two wooden blocks. Ziba thinks the truck would move slowest when carrying two blocks.

Ziba carried out an investigation to test her prediction. This list describes Ziba’s investigation:
Ziba placed a yardstick on the wood floor.
She gave the truck a short push and then measured the truck’s position every second.
Ziba recorded the truck’s position and time in a diagram.
Figure 1 shows the diagram of the truck’s motion.


Ziba then repeated the procedure, but this time placed two blocks into the back of the truck. Figure 2 shows the position and time measurements for the truck that carried two blocks.

Questions 23–27 are part of an item set. Use the following information to answer the questions.

The Forest
Rabbits, foxes, and hawks live together in a forest ecosystem. In this ecosystem, there are many bushes, ferns, and grasses. A river flows through the ecosystem, providing water to the animals that live there.

The food web below (Figure 1) shows some of the relationships between these organisms.

Scientists have detected a toxin* in the river supply, but it seems to affect only the foxes in the ecosystem. The graph below (Figure 2) shows how the fox population has changed since the toxin was introduced.

*toxin: a substance that can be poisonous to plants or animals
