Question 5: if x is a negative integer, which of the answer choices must also be a negative integer?

• x(2 -

4)

• x + 4
• x(4-2)

Question 6: In the early morning on a warm day after a cool night, the air above the ground quickly warms up and rises into the air. But any nearby bodies of water are cooler, and the air above the surface of the water tends to warm more slowly. As a result, the hot air on the shore of a lake, ocean, or river, tends to go up in the air, leaving a gap into which the cool air above the water rushes in, leading to a cool wind coming ashore off the water. This effect is a result of what heat phenomenon?

• refraction
• conduction
• convection
• radiation

Answer:

• convection (GS)
