• Michael has applied for the City Council
  Scholarship, which would pay for tuition and
  books for a year at the community college. His
  single parent does not make enough money at the
  phone company to send Michael to college, and
  Michael has not saved enough money from his
  custodial job on campus. He's such a quiet person
  no one knows it, but Michael has earned a 3.6 in
  his college-prep classes in high school. He can
  get good recommendations from language arts and
  physics teachers to say that he applies himself
  to his studies.
• What is the most likely reason Michael will get
  the scholarship?
• A. His interests range from the arts to the
  sciences.
• B. His teachers say hes a quiet,
  well-behaved student.
• C. He already has a connection to the college
  in his job.
• D. His scholastic record shows him to be a
  successful student.

• D. His scholastic record shows him to be a
  successful student.
• (To answer this question correctly, you must use
  critical thinking to draw a conclusion about why
  Michael will most likely get a scholarship. You
  should recognize that Option D is correct because
  Michael earned a 3.6 grade point average in his
  college-prep classes in high school. The
  remaining three distractors are not relevant to
  whether he will get a scholarship.)

• A. ice melting

  make-up of a substance is unchanged, such as
  phase changes. A chemical change means that the
  molecular make-up has been altered a chemical
  reaction has taken place. Ice melting has had no
  chemical change ice and water are both H2O.)

Social Studies

• D. that the individual has importance and his
  achievements should be celebrated.
• (Humanism was an intellectual movement where
  people began to focus on life in the present,
  which was in contrast to the Middle Ages' focus
  on the after life. Humanism stressed the
  importance of education, with the study of
  ancient Greek and Roman texts becoming the
  learning standard. Humanism also stressed the
  importance of the individual. This movement was
  the driving force of the Renaissance and is
  reflected in the period's artistic, literary, and
  scientific achievements.)
