With reasoning, a level of mental certainty can be achieved, but it is through intelligence that control is taken of events that shape one's life.

Question:

What is the topic of this passage?

The intelligence of John Dewey

b)

Distinctions made by John Dewey

8. Nitrogen fixation is a process by which nitrogen is continuously fed into biological circulation. In this process, certain algae arid bacteria convert nitrogen into ammonia (NH₃). This newly created ammonia is then for the most part absorbed by plants.

The Process of Nitrogen Fixation

b)

The Return of Nitrogen to the Air

11. If asked who invented the game of baseball, most Americans would probably reply that it was Abner Doubleday. At the beginning of this century there was some disagreement over how the game of baseball had actually originated, so sporting-goods manufacturer Spaulding inaugurated a commission to research the question. In 1908 a report was published by the commission in which Abner Doubleday, a U.S. Army officer from Cooperstown, New York, was given credit for the invention of the game. The National Baseball Hall of Fame was established in Cooperstown in honor of Doubleday.

Today, most sports historians are in agreement that Doubleday really did not have much to do with the development of baseball. Instead, baseball seems to be a close relation to the English game of rounders and probably has English rather than American roots.

a)

b)

precedes the ideas in the first paragraph

c)

outlines the effect of the idea in the first paragraph

d)

23. Carnivorous plants, such as the sundew and the Venus-Flytrap, are generally found in humid areas where there is an inadequate supply of nitrogen in the soil. In order to survive, these plants have developed mechanisms to trap insects within their foliage. They have digestive fluids to obtain the necessary nitrogen from the insects.

These plants trap the insects in a variety of ways. The sundew has sticky hairs on its leaves; when an insect lands on these leaves, it gets caught up in the sticky hairs, and the leaf wraps itself around the insect. The leaves of the Venus-Flytrap function more like a trap, snapping suddenly and forcefully shut around an insect.
