Answer all 35 questions in this part. (35)
Directions (1-35): For each statement or question, write on the separate
answer
sheet the
number of the word or expression that, of those given,
best completes
the statement or

organism is green. A valid conclusion that can
be drawn from this observation is that
(1) the organism must be a plant
(2) the organism cannot be single celled
(3) the organism must be an animal
(4) not enough information is given to determine
whether the organism is
a plant or an animal
2 Why do scientists consider any hypothesis valuable?
(1) A hypothesis requires no further investigation.
(2) A hypothesis may lead to further investigation even if it is
disproved by the experiment.
(3) A hypothesis requires no further investigation if it is proved by the
experiment.
(4) A hypothesis can be used to explain a conclusion even if it is

4 A great deal of information can now be obtained about the
future
health of people by examining the genetic makeup of their cells. There
are concerns that this information could be used to deny an individual
health insurance or employment. These concerns best illustrate that
(1) scientific explanations depend upon evidence collected
from
a single source
(2) scientific inquiry involves the collection of information from a
large
number of sources
(3) acquiring too much knowledge in human genetics will discourage
future
research in that area
(4) while science provides knowledge, values are essential to making
ethical decisions using this knowledge
