Iced drinks and desserts have been around since at least 4000 B.C., when nobles along the Euphrates River built icehouses to take the edge off the Mesopotamian summer heat. Snow, likely used to cool wine, was sold in the streets of Athens in the fifth century B.C., while the Roman emperor Nero (37–67 A.D.) enjoyed iced refreshments laced with honey. Sources from the Tang dynasty in China describe a sweet drink made from iced, camphor-laced water buffalo milk. It took two other milestones to make ice cream an “industry.” In 1843, New Yorker Nancy M. Johnson applied for a patent for the hand-cranked ice cream freezer, with a movable crank and a center paddle to churn the mix around. The development of industrial refrigeration by German engineer Carl von Linde during the 1870s eliminated the need to cut and store natural ice. Later, in 1926, the perfection of the continuous-process freezer allowed commercial mass production of ice cream and gave birth to the modern ice cream industry.

making ice cream can be a family activity
it takes several hours to make ice cream with such a machine
the process of making ice cream has not changed for hundreds of years
D using such a machine is difficult

A tornado is a powerful, spinning wind. It is also known as a twister. Most tornadoes last fewer than 15 minutes. During that time, a twister can travel across a large area of land and destroy everything in its path. The strong winds in some tornadoes reach speeds of up to 300 miles per hour. Those winds can toss cars and other objects high into the air.
A hurricane is a storm that brings heavy rain and strong winds. It can harm trees and homes. A hurricane begins over warm ocean water. Winds make the storm spin around and around. The center of the storm is called the eye. It is calm there. Hurricanes often hit places near the coast.

What evidence from the text best supports the central idea?
Their destructive power can cause millions of dollars in damage.
A hurricane is a rotating, or spinning, storm with heavy winds.
Even though hurricanes and tornadoes are different types of storms, they are formed by some of the same weather conditions.
Scientists study these weather conditions to learn how to better predict these powerful and dangerous storms.
How does the diagram contribute to the reader's understanding of this text?
It illustrates the different components of a volcano.
It shows the damage a volcano causes.
It shows where volcanoes form.
It helps the reader visualize how powerful a volcano is.
Paragraph 1 In the United States, there are 169 volcanoes, primarily located in Alaska and Hawaii. The way these powerful forces of nature are created is as remarkable as the reason they erupt.
Which word is similar in meaning to primarily as it is used in paragraph1?
Only
Rarely
Mostly
Wholly
Paragraph 1 :
Underneath a volcano is a magma chamber, which is a pool of magma right under the crust. As the crust's plates move, pressure builds in the chamber. Eventually, the pressure forces magma out of the chamber and into the volcano through what is called a vent. Traveling through the vent, magma erupts and blows the top off the volcano, forming a crater.
