CO2 is primarily being absorbed by the ocean, not emitted.  \nAnswer C is invalid based on Figure 2.  \nAnswer D is invalid based on Figure 4.  \nItem 2  \nItem Type: Technology Enhanced  \nStandards Alignment: DCI: LS2.B; SEP: AID; CCC: SC Key: A correct response will look like this:  \nRationale:  \nIn Figure 2, ocean acidity is increasing, and as it increases, the percentage of reef surface covered by live coral decreases, as shown in Figure 3. This suggests an indirect relationship. In Figure 2, ocean acidity is increasing, and as it increases, the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide is increasing, as shown in Figure 4. This suggests a direct relationship. In Figure 3, the percentage of reef surface covered by live coral is decreasing, while Figure 4 shows the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide increasing, which suggests an indirect relationship.  \nItems 3–5  \nDomain: Earth and Space Science  \nPhenomenon: Changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere impacts global sea level.  \nItem 3  \nItem Type: Multiple Choice  \nStandards Alignment: DCI: ESS2.A; SEP: AQDP; CCC: SC  \nKey: D  \nRationale:  \nFigure 1 shows the increase in atmospheric CO2 over time. Figures 2 and 3 show the correlation to Figure 1. As the CO2 increases, so does the global sea level, and the mass of the ice sheet decreases. Therefore, the data show why the Greenland ice sheet is changing, answer D.  \nAnswer A is invalid because there is no information regarding the surface area of the ice sheet.  \nAnswer B is invalid because the description explains that the climate is being affected not by the ice sheet but by the rising CO2 levels.  \nAnswer C is invalid because it does not correlate to Figures 1 or 2.  \nItem 4  \nItem Type: Technology Enhanced  \nStandards Alignment: DCI: ESS2.A; SEP: AID; CCC: C and E  \nKey: B and E  \nRationale:  \nFigure 1 shows the increase in atmospheric CO2 over time. Figures 2 and 3 show the correlation to Figure 1. As the CO2 increases, so does the global sea level, and the mass of the ice sheet decreases. Therefore, statements B and E are best explained by the data.  \nStatement A is invalid because Figures 2 and 3 show the opposite phenomenon: as the ice sheet mass decreases, the sea level rises.  \nStatement C is invalid because Figures 1 and 2 show the opposite phenomenon: as the sea level rises, the CO2 also rises. Statements D and F are invalid because Figures 1 and 3 show the opposite phenomenon: as the atmospheric CO2 rises, the ice sheet mass decreases.  \nItem 5  \nItem Type: Technology Enhanced  \nStandards Alignment: DCI: ESS2.D; SEP: DUM; CCC: C and E Key: A correct response will look like this:  \nRationale:  \nThe stimulus states that rising carbon dioxide levels are correlated with rising atmospheric temperatures. Figure 1 shows carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere increasing; therefore, atmospheric temperatures must be increasing. Figure 2 shows global sea level rising, which is due to ice sheets melting because the temperature is increasing. Less ice will reduce the amount of sunlight reflected back to space, causing more heat to be retained, which will further increase atmospheric temperature.  \nItems 6–7  \nDomain: Life Science  \nPhenomenon: Peppered moths, Biston betularia, exhibit","cbCaigU46G74MbhI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigU46G74MbhI","pdf",564750,11,"English","# Item 1-2 (Life Science)\n## Item 1: Multiple Choice\n## Item 2: Technology Enhanced\n# Item 3-5 (Earth and Space Science)\n## Item 3: Multiple Choice\n## Item 4-5: Technology Enhanced\n# Item 6-7 (Life Science)\n## Item 6: Multiple Choice\n## Item 7: Technology Enhanced","[{\"question\":\"What is the correct key for Item 1 and how is it justified?\",\"answer\":\"Item 1 has key A.
