Therésumés were identical, with one exception: some listed stereotypically White names such as \"Emily Walsh\" and \"Greg Baker\"; others listed stereotypically African American names such as \"Lakisha Washington\" and \"Jamal Jones\". The researchers found that the White names received 50 percent more callbacks than the African American names, suggesting that racial bias remains a significant factor in hiring practices.  \nWhich choice best states the main idea of the text?  \nBertrand and Mullainathan's study indicated a significant level of racial bias in hiring practices.  \nAfrican American names are significantly less common on résumés than White names.  \nThe names that people have can affect their likelihood of getting hired. Résumés with the name Emily Walsh always receive more callbacks than those with the name Jamal Jones.  \nQuestion 2  \nIn his 1996 book, The Cloister Walk, Kathleen Norris examines the relevance of monastic traditions in modern life. Norris, who spent extended periods in a Benedictine monastery, reflects on how monastic practices, such as silence and contemplation, offer valuable lessons for managing the distractions of contemporary society. She argues that these ancient traditions provide a framework for cultivating inner peace and a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.  \nWhich choice best states the main idea of the text?  \nKathleen Norris's The Cloister Walk explores the benefits of adapting monastic traditions to cope with the complexities of modern life. Benedictine monasteries are the only places where individuals can truly experience silence and contemplation.  \nMonastic traditions are incompatible with the demands and distractions of contemporary society.  \nKathleen Norris is a Benedictine monk who advocates for the complete abandonment of modern life.  \nQuestion 3  \nMethylmercury (MeHg), a highly toxic organometallic cation, poses a significant threat to avian species, particularly songbirds. Research on Tachycineta bicolor (tree swallows) in the California Central Valley (2019) revealed a strong correlation between MeHg concentrations and disruptions in parental care. Elevated MeHg levels in female T. bicolor led to decreased incubation times, more frequent breaks, and increased likelihood of substantial egg temperature drops. These altered behaviors can delay embryonic development, extend incubation periods, and heighten vulnerability to predation, ultimately affecting chick quality and survival. This study highlights the sublethal yet critical impacts of MeHg on avian reproductive success, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and mitigation efforts.  \nWhich choice best states the main idea of the text?  \nA study on Tachycineta bicolor nesting in California's Central Valley demonstrated that elevated methylmercury concentrations have a direct impact on avian parental care, threatening offspring development. Methylmercury contamination is a localized issue primarily affecting Tachycineta bicolor populations in the California Central Valley due to unique environmental factors.  \nResearch indicates that methylmercury exposure in avian species leads to a variety of physiological and behavioral abnormalities, ultimately affecting their ability to thrive in their natural habitats.  \nWhile methylmercury is known to be harmful to avian species, its effects on parental care behaviors are negligible compared to the direct toxic effects on embryonic development.  \nQuestion 4  \nIn a 2021 study, Professor Anya Miller explored the impact of social media on political polarization. Participants who primarily received news from social media showed increased tendencies to favor information confirming their existing beliefs. This phenomenon, known as the echo chamber effect, was particularly pronounced among individuals with strong politica","cbCaimyOulhfGn2v","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimyOulhfGn2v","pdf",71598,36,"English","# Question 1\n# Question 2\n# Question 3\n# Question 4\n# Question 5","[{\"question\":\"What do the questions require you to do?\",\"answer\":\"Each question asks you to choose the answer choice that best states the main idea of a given passage.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the focus of Question 1’s passage?\",\"answer\":\"The passage describes a study testing whether résumé callbacks differ based on stereotypically White versus African American names.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the passage in Question 4 connect social media to polarization?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that news exposure through social media can intensify confirmation of existing beliefs, often strengthening bias through the echo chamber effect.\"}]","Central Ideas and Details - Questions 1-5 | PDF",1790213896,91]
