Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Study the planned honeycomb diagram. Which labeled feature best explains why bees use hexagonal cells for storing honey and raising young?
ARepeating hexagons that fit tightly with strong shared walls and little wasted space.
BCircular cells with gaps left between neighboring chambers.
CSquare cells with thick separate walls using extra wax.
DRandomly shaped cells with uneven wall lengths and gaps.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A farmer wants to explain how terraces on a steep hill help control water and soil loss. Which labeled diagram is best?
ASmooth steep slope with no terraces and arrows showing rapid erosion.
BHillside cross-section labeled flat terraces, retaining walls, slowed runoff arrows, and soil staying on each step.
CSingle retaining wall at the bottom of the hill with no stepped structure above it.
DHillside diagram with straight downhill furrows that speed up runoff.
Solution & Explanation:The stepped terrace structure slows runoff and helps keep soil from washing downhill.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
