Your heart's mitral valve does an awfully big job. Letting blood from the left atrium of the heart into the left ventricle without losing a drop is one of the toughest tasks in the circulatory system. In fact, if the system was suddenly opened at that point the force of the valve closing with send blood 5 feet into the air In this passage the author's purpose is to?
convince the readers of the stress on the mitral valve

riding the mail plane is a low-budget way to visit america's largest national park--wrangell-st.elias-- 13 million acres of scenic beauty. copper first drew prospectors to this part of alaska. from 1911 to 1938, the kennicott mine produced 200 million tons of it. now a mecca for tourists, the town of kennicott was abandoned to the ghosts when the copper ran out. which of the following illustrates the correct sequence of events?
copper drew prospectors, copper ran out, town abandoned, tourists attraction
Physicists seek out those features of nature that are simple and universal. The secret of their success is not so much a matter of finding answers as it is asking the right questions. The trick is keeping the questions simple and sticking to universal phenomena. Simple questions can be answered unambiguously by careful observation of repeated experiments and by logical thinking. which of the following questions is most clearly an example of the kind discussed in the paragraph?
how fast do stones of a particular size fall?
An allergy is a hypersensitivity to substances that are essentially harmless. For as yet poorly understood reasons, the immune system malfunctions and marshals up an army of antibodies to fight these substances. For many allergies, this malfunction causes a large amount of histamine to flood into the bloodstream. It is overabundance of histamine that causes allergic symptoms such as headaches, rashes, and sneezing. the passage states all of the following about allergies except
medical science does not fully understand why the body has an allergic reaction to certain substances
a period of time is usually measured by comparing it with another period of time.for example, a year on mercury is equal to 88 earth days. a year on uranus is approximately 348 mercury years. according to the passage, the way time is usually measured shows that the time is
calendar-based
weather radar is a great help to pilots in detecting thunderstorms. however, pilots must be aware that radar does not reliably detect hail. radar operates by transmitting a pulse of radio energy and receiving the pulse again after it is reflected by a target. large raindrops, the kind found in intense thunderstorms, are the best radar reflectors and will show up as intense targets on the screen. hail is somewhat porous and has an uneven structure; it tends to absorb or scatter the radar pulse rather than reflect it back to the antenna. according to the paragraph, weather radar does not reliably. detect hail because of
its penetrable surface
