How is it possible that today's diverse universe was able to arise from that which was very homogeneous at its first moments?
 
  A) Inflation magnified ultrasmall quantum variations in position and momenta.
  B) There is evidence of a second, slightly smaller Big Bang that took place very shortly after the initial Big Bang, which would account for the variation in structure.
  C) The rapidly cooling universe created massive quantities of hydrogen, and then helium, which interacted with each other to create regions of relative structure.
  D) Entropy immediately came into effect, slowing down some areas of expansion, while increasing others.

Question 2

The currently accepted reasoning for why the cosmic background radiation is so uniform in temperature is because
 
  A) this temperature uniformity was achieved in the moments before cosmic inflation.
  B) as the universe has had time to cool, the hotter parts transferred their heat to the cooler regions.
  C) microwaves can only function at a certain very limited range of temperature.
  D) space is a vacuum and thus cannot retain heat very well.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
