After you have read the passage on the left, identify the statement that summarizes the main
concern of the defendant.
1)The company will be unable to benefit from
the hard work of its scientists.
2)The DNA sequences might be lost
3)The defendant is worried that allowing
access to the sequences will encourage
someone to create mutations.
4)The patent limits the sharing of important
scientific knowledge

A. The company will be unable to benefit from

the hard work of its scientists.

Explanation:

Your welcome I just got it wrong but I found the answer :P

1. (1.2kw)x(15/60hours) = .3kwh --> a

2. (5kw)x(90/60hours)x(8cents/kwh) = $0.60 --> d

3. microwave --> 1200 watts = (1.2kw)x(6/60hours) = .12kwh

coffee-maker --> 900 watts = (.9kw)x(10/60hours) = .15kwh

therefore, it requires more energy for the coffee-maker to do the same amount of work.

so the answer is a.

emerald ash borer

the emerald ash borer is a green buprestid or jewel beetle native to north-eastern asia that feeds on ash species. females lay eggs in bark crevices on ash trees, and larvae feed underneath the bark of ash trees to emerge as adults in one to two years. hope this !
