The 50 members who joined the club when it was started in 1732 donated books and also pooled their money to buy additional books.

The Brassica family tree, part of the Brassicaceae family, includes several economically important vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and mustard greens. These plants share a common ancestry but have diversified through selective breeding and natural adaptation. Genetic studies reveal that species like Brassica oleracea (which includes kale and Brussels sprouts) and Brassica rapa (encompassing turnips and bok choy) descended from a shared progenitor but evolved distinct traits over time. Researchers have mapped their phylogenetic relationships using DNA analysis, demonstrating how hybridization and polyploidy—a process where organisms acquire multiple sets of chromosomes—contributed to their variation. Understanding the Brassica family tree not only clarifies botanical classification but also aids agricultural innovation, as scientists use this knowledge to develop more resilient and nutritious crop varieties.

Which of the following is NOT included in the passage as a member of the Brassica family?

• Broccoli

• Cauliflower

• Spinach

• Cabbage

Sometimes mail arrives at the post office, and it is impossible to deliver the mail. Perhaps there is an inadequate or illegible address and no return address. The post office cannot just throw this mail away, so this becomes "dead mail." This "dead mail" is sent to one of the U.S. Postal Service's dead mail offices in Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, St. Paul, or San Francisco. Seventy- five million pieces of mail can end up in the dead mail office in one year. The staff of the dead mail offices has a variety of ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead mail.

First of all, they look for clues that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages in the hope that something inside will show where the package came from or is going to. Dead mail will also be listed on a computer so that people can call in and check to see if a missing item is there. However, all of this mail cannot simply be stored forever; there is just too much of it. When a lot of dead mail has piled up, the dead mail offices hold public auctions. Every three months, the public is invited in and bins containing items found in dead mail packages are sold to the highest bidder.

which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way that post office staff members deal with dead mail?

• they search for clues

• they throw dead mail away

• they open dead mail

• they list dead mail on a computer
