Synthesis  \nQuestion 1  \nWhile researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:  \n• The Mohs scale of mineral hardness is a ten-point scale that orders minerals by hardness based on their ability to scratch other minerals.  \n• Minerals with larger numbers are harder than minerals with smaller numbers and can leave visible scratches on them.  \n• Minerals with smaller numbers are softer than minerals with larger numbers and cannot leave visible scratches on them.  \n• The mineral gypsum has a Mohs scale number of 2.  \n• The mineral fluorite has a Mohs scale number of 4.  \n• The mineral topaz has a Mohs scale number of 8.  \nThe student wants to compare the hardness of gypsum and topaz. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?  \nTopaz can leave visible scratches on gypsum, which means that topaz is harder than gypsum.  \nThe Mohs scale of mineral hardness can be used to order fluorite, gypsum, and topaz by their ability to scratch other minerals.  \nA mineral with a Mohs number of 4, like fluorite, is harder than one with a Mohs number of 2, like gypsum.  \nTopaz can leave visible scratches on fluorite, which is why topaz has a higher number than fluorite on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.  \nQuestion 2  \nWhile researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:  \n• Elizabeth Catlett's sculpture Recognition (1970) shows two African American figures with rounded, indistinct features.  \n• The figures reach out to each other in a pose that symbolizes a close, supportive relationship.  \n• Her sculpture Students Aspire (1978) shows two African American figures with sharply defined features.  \n• The figures hold an equal sign above their heads with one hand and embrace each other with the other hand.  \n• This pose symbolizes their support for each other in the pursuit of equality.  \nThe student wants to emphasize a similarity between the two sculptures. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?  \nCatlett's Students Aspire depicts two figures supporting each other in the pursuit of equality.  \nRecognition and Students Aspire both show African American figures in poses that symbolize supportive relationships.  \nCatlett completed Recognition in 1970 and Students Aspire in 1978.  \nThe figures in Recognition have features that are rounded and indistinct, while the figures in Students Aspire have sharply defined features.  \nQuestion 3  \nWhile researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:  \n• Iranian scholar Abu Rayhan al-Biruni studied Earth's physical features.  \n• He theorized that a large landmass existed west of Europe and east of Asia.  \n• Al-Biruni published his landmass theory in 1037 CE.  \nThe student wants to specify when al-Biruni published his landmass theory. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?  \nIn 1037 CE, al-Biruni published his theory that a large landmass existed west of Europe and east of Asia.  \nAl-Biruni, who studied Earth's physical features, published a theory about a large landmass.  \nAl-Biruni was an Iranian scholar who studied Earth's physical features.  \nAn Iranian scholar who studied Earth's physical features, al-Biruni theorized that a large landmass existed west of Europe and east of Asia.  \nQuestion 4  \nWhile researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:  \n• The Hanseatic League was a powerful medieval commercial and defensive confederation.  \n• It originated in the late 12th century among German merchant guilds.  \n• Its main purpose was protecting trade and securing commercial privileges across Northern Europe.  \n• Major cities like Lübeck, Hamburg, and Bergen were important members.  \n• The League declined by the 17th century due to shifting trade and political powers.  \nThe student wants to introduce the Hanseatic League's purpose.
