Cosmo is a scientist. He is conducting an experiment to determine if microscopic yeast particles are living organisms. He divides a Petri dish into four sections and spreads a sample of yeast into each section. His Petri dish is pictured below.

Cosmo knows that yeast reacts chemically with sugar. So he adds different amounts of sugar to each section of his Petri dish. He is careful to keep each section separated from the others. In one of the sections, Cosmo does not add any sugar at all.

He waits one week and then carefully observes each sample of yeast under a microscope. He makes several observations. These observations are listed below.
Each sample of yeast remained separate from the other three samples.

The three samples that were given sugar showed evidence of a chemical reaction.

The sample that was given the greatest amount of sugar reacted with the sugar the most.

The yeast that received no sugar responded by forming and releasing spores.
Which observation provides the best evidence that Cosmo's yeast particles are living organisms?
A.
Observation #4
B.
Observation #1
C.
Observation #3
D.
Observation #2

Archeologists have discovered three sites showing conclusive evidence for the mastery of fire in tanzania, from a period slightly after the time that homo habilis was present in africa. these sites clearly were founded by homo erectus, the descendent species of homo habilis that migrated north, out of africa and into asia. homo erectus was known to have mastered fire, from ample evidence at sites in asia. there is no reason to attribute mastery of fire to homo ergaster, the descendent species of homo habilis that remained in africa. which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? (a) before their migration, homo erectus occupied african territory as far south as tanzania.(b) the strain of migration provided the selective pressure motivating homo erectus‘ mastery of fire.(c) homo ergaster would not have derived as much benefit from the mastery of fire as did homo erectus.(d) homo ergaster inherited all cultural knowledge from homo habilis, a species that did not have mastery of fire.(e) homo ergaster did not occupy regions as far south as tanzania until well after the time of these three sites.
