Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Geological uplift can expose carbonate rock to chemical reactions with oxygen. Acid rain on limestone
rock can release carbon dioxide. Lastly, sediments can also dissolve which would release the carbon
dioxide that is stored in it. Information can be found in the section Gases Dissolve in Seawater.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Oil molecules are nonpolar. Nonpolar molecules are not attracted to water molecules so the bond
strength found in oil is not diminished as it is with polar molecules. Information can be found in the
section Water Is a Powerful Solvent.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
