Which sentence from the passage best supports the conclusion that engineers include multiple features to assure that roller coasters are safe for riders?

A second set of wheels moves along the sides of these rails, while a third set of wheels moves underneath the rails, keeping the coaster connected to the track no matter whether the coaster car is right-side up or upside down

Wooden coasters can be more affordable to build, and some riders think they are more exciting, since their flexible material tends to sway as the coaster cars travel over

According to Andy Boyd at the University of Houston, steel roller coasters can travel as fast as 125 miles per hour, while wooden coasters usually cannot travel faster than 80 miles per hour

Roller-Coaster engineers are perpetually searching for ways to make their rides all the more exciting and invigorating

Which statement expresses two central ideas of "The Roller-Coaster Revolution" that would best fit in a summary of the passage?

Roller coasters have served as a form of entertainment for centuries, and protecting riders is one of the main goals of roller-coaster design

Roller coasters can be found in amusement parks worldwide, and they mainly use energy generated by gravity to propel them around their tracks

Safety is an important consideration in the design of the tracks and seats of roller coasters, and some wooden and steel coasters are even able to turn riders upside down

The first roller coasters were designed and built in Europe, and their design is said to have originated from wooden slides covered with ice in the city of St. Petersburg

Which detail from the passage best reveals the author's perspective on roller coasters?

For as long as these engineers improve their technology, roller-coaster riders will seek out the thrill of the latest and greatest rides that are available

As you might imagine, strong brakes are needed to slow the cars down as they reach the end of the line

Roller coasters usually reach their fastest speeds at the bottom of this first hill, and the energy from the first drop is enough to propel the car through the rest of the twists and turns of the ride

Because steel is so durable and strong, however, steel roller coasters can be built taller and run faster than wooden ones

In paragraph 9, how does the word duration impact meaning?

by describing the length of time the ride lasts

by describing the types of cars

by describing the size of the tracks

by describing the position of the riders

How does the author's use of the subheading "The (Safe) Thrill of the Ride"

It emphasizes a key idea about roller coasters that the author develops

It introduces an explanation of how modern roller coasters compare to the first coasters

It supports the author's earlier claim that roller coasters have an interesting history

It reveals the author's opinion that roller coasters are not as exciting as they may seem

Which piece of evidence best supports the author's claim in paragraph 4 "it was in the United States that the modern-day coaster was born"?

People began riding downhill on a Pennsylvania coal train in 1827

The Coney Island ride cost $1600 to build

A French roller coaster built in 1812 featured attached wheels and track wheels

A professor at the University of Houston states that steel coasters are capable of going 125 miles per hour

Which piece of evidence supports the author's claim that "Careful, creative design is needed, however, to make these coasters exciting yet safe as possible"?

There are shoulder harnesses or bars that pull down securely across riders' torsos and legs, holding the riders securely in their seats

Back in the 1600s near the city of St. Petersburg in Russia, people used to build tall wooden slides and cover their surfaces with smooth ice

Historians disagree on whether the first official roller coaster was built in Russia in 1784 or France in 1812

Believe it or not, most roller coaster cars have no engines!

Which of these sentences would best end the paragraph?

Changing this rule would be a positive step for students and teachers alike

Leaving the decision up to the students might even be the best option

In fact, people are constantly saying that water bottles would be a good compromise

For example, people who drink water throughout the day are better able to concentrate

A student is writing a report on the importance of proper footwear for running. Which sentence would add additional information to best develop the topic?

According to a report in the Journal of Sports Medicine , it is important to try several shoes to determine which are the most comfortable

When you are ready to make a purchase, there are three stores in town that sell a variety of types and brands of running shoes to our athletes

When my brother went in to find a new pair of running shoes, he told me that certain shoes made him feel like he was running on air

In order to keep up with all of the newest shoes on the market, a runner may want to subscribe to a publication like Runner's Weekly

What is the correct way to revise the last sentence of the paragraph?

Today, people prefer to communicate with others by calling, texting, or sending emails.

Today, people prefer to communicate with others by calls, by texts, or by sending emails
