Question: Passage: Coral reefs support about a quarter of all marine species despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor. When sea temperatures rise, corals expel the algae they rely on for food — a process called bleaching — which can kill the reef.
The passage's main point is that coral reefs are:
Explanation: It stresses both the reefs' importance and the threat warming poses.
Other fields (not shown on cards):
Choices: found only in warm water
ecologically important yet vulnerable to warming seas
the largest ocean ecosystem
unaffected by temperature
Correct: B

Explanation: It compares the two bulb types on energy use and efficiency.
Other fields (not shown on cards):
Choices: explain how electricity is generated
contrast LED bulbs with incandescent bulbs
argue that bulbs are too expensive
describe the history of lighting
Correct: B

Question: Passage: Unlike incandescent bulbs, which waste most of their energy as heat, LED bulbs convert most of their energy into light. As a result, they last longer and use far less power.
