For most exercises, this key does not include even-numbered items.
■ Exercise 1 Read the passage. Based on what you already know, underline the verbs.
The Marshmallow Experiment
Imagine that you are seven years old. You are participating in an experiment. A researcher greets you and shows you into a small room. In the room there is a marshmallow. The marshmallow is for you, but here is the interesting part: The researcher tells you that he is going to leave you alone in the room for a while. You can eat the marshmallow right away, or you can wait until he gets back. If you wait until he gets back, you will get a second marshmallow.
What do you do? Do you eat the marshmallow right away?
An experiment like this, known informally as the marshmallow experiment, was conducted decades ago at Stanford University. It turned out that some children ate the marshmallow right away, while others were able to wait. In other words, some sought instant self-gratification, and some delayed it.
Years later, the researchers followed up on the participants. They found that the children who delayed self-gratification were in general more successful than those who ate the marshmallow right away. By a variety of measures, including SAT scores, they appeared to be more competent.
Common sense tells us that the ability to delay self-gratification is a mark of maturity. The marshmallow experiment provides evidence that it may also correlate with success in life.
Notes:
- Many of these verb phrases consist of an auxiliary verb and a main verb. So, for example, “are participating” and “do...eat” are considered verb phrases.
- “is going to leave”: If we consder “is going to” a kind of auxiliary verb, then this is a verb phrase, just like “will leave.”
- “known as...”: If you underlined “known,” that’s fine. It is a verb. It is a nonfinite verb, unlike the other underlined verbs and verb phrases. (See Chapter 4.)
■ Exercise 2 Underline the complete subjects in the sentences below, and double- underline the verbs that go with them. Identifying the subject means identifying the main word of the subject and the parts that modify it. (In the first sentence, the main word is in boldface.) When you underline the verb, include both auxiliary verbs and main verbs (as in the first sentence, with was...used).
In the 1960s and 70s, the term “generation gap” was often used to refer to the differences between young people in the U.S. and their parents’ generation. Many young people felt distant from their parents because of differences in ideas about politics, social issues, and popular culture. Since then, conflicts between generations have diminished in many ways. Child-rearing experts in the late 20th century encouraged parents to be like friends to their children. Thanks to technology, young people and their parents are able to contact each other easily at any time. On any college campus, the students you see texting or talking on cell phones are often communicating with Mom or Dad. Fifty years ago, closeness of this kind was less

Answer: m∠5 = 75°.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that lines A and B are parallel, and angles 1 and 5 are formed by the same line intersecting the parallel lines.
We know that:
"When a line intersects two parallel lines, corresponding angles are formed, such that we could think on four quadrants, the angles in each quadrant are equivalent between them"
Well, here we can see that angle ∠1 and angle ∠5 are formed by the same line, and both are in the same quadrant (would be the third quadrant if we use standard notation)
Then the measure of ∠1 is the same as the measure of ∠5
And we know that m∠1 = 75°
Then we must have that m∠5 = 75°.
Tim has completed five math problems and 13 minutes if he continues at the same rate how long will it take him to finish 20 problems

High-definition televisions have an aspect ratio of 16: 9. The following answer choices are television screen sizes rounded to the nearest inch. Which could be a High-definition television?
Answer:
18.5 in approx
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
aspect ratio of 16: 9
L= 16in
W= 9 in
We want to find the diagonal of the TV
applying Pythagoras theorem
d^2= l^2+w^2
d^2= 16^2+ 9^2
d^2=256+81
d^2= 337
d= √337
d= 18.35 in
Hence the tv is 18.5 in approx

Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the sums within the brackets first and then multiplication, as stated by the BOMDAS rule.
B = Brackets
O = ?
M = Multiplication
D = Division
A = Addition
S = Substitution
(- 6 + 4) = -2
(5 + 9) = 14
- 2 × 14 = -28
- 28 - 3 = - 31

Answer:
16 eighteens fit into [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to find out how much eighteenths are the in [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]. we just have to divide [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex] by [tex]\frac{1}{18}[/tex]. So we get...
[tex](\frac{8}{9}) /(\frac{1}{18}) = (\frac{8}{9})(18) = \frac{144}{9} = 16[/tex]

The radius of a circle can be approximated using the expression √(A/3). A circular kiddie swimming pool has an area about 28 square feet. An inflatable full-sized circular pool has an area of about 113 square feet. How much greater is the radius of the full-sized pool than the radius of the kiddie pool? round to the nearest whole number.
It says Hint: First find the radius of each pool by substituting for A in the expression. Divide by 3 before approximating square root.
Answer:
yeah I know you are literally perfect for you to be home
By using the expression to approximate the radius of a circle, we want to compare the radius of the two pools. We will find that the radius of the full-sized pool is 2 times larger than the radius of the kiddie pool.
The expression for the radius of a circle is:
R = √(A/3)
Where A is the area of said circle.
The circular kiddie swimming pool has an area of 28ft^2, we just replace that in the above expression to get:
R = √(28 ft^2/3) = 3 ft
The full-sized pool has an area of 113 ft^2, then its radius is:
R' = √(113 ft^2/3) = 6 ft
To see how much greater is the radius of the full-sized pool than the radius of the kiddie pool, we just take the quotient:
R'/R = 6ft/3ft = 2
Meaning that the radius of the full-sized pool is 2 times larger than the radius of the kiddie pool.

My soccer team has 16 players. I have to choose a starting lineup of a goalie and 10 regular players (the regular players are interchangeable). How many different starting lineups can I choose?
Answer:
48048
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of players = 16
Selection to be made :
1 goalie ; 10 players
Hence ;
Choosing 1 goalie from 16 players :
16C1
Choosing 10 players from the remaining (16 - 1), 15 players
15C10
Hence,
16C1 * 15C10
16 * 3003
= 48048
