The functions of the brain are divided between the left and right hemispheres because the nerve fibers cross over each other at the brain stem; thus, the brain's left hemisphere controls the right half of the body, and vice versa. The areas that control speech, reading, and the ability to solve mathematical problems are located in the left hemisphere, while areas that govern spatial perceptions (the ability to understand shape and form) and the centers of musical and artistic creation reside in the right hemisphere.
 
  The purpose of the paragraph is
 
  a. to inform the reader that musical ability is controlled by the right hemisphere of the brain.
  b. to inform the reader that the left and right hemispheres of the brain control different functions of the body and explain what each control.
  c. to inform the reader that nerve fibers in the brain cross over each other at the brain stem.
 
  The tone of the paragraph is
  a. informative and subjective.
  b. informative and serious.
  c. informative and skeptical.



Ques. 2

The oxygen cycle is extremely complicated and is summarized only briefly here. Oxygen occurs in many chemical forms and is released into the atmosphere in a variety of ways. Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is molecular oxygen produced when plants decompose water molecules in photosynthesis. Some atmospheric oxygen is bound up in water molecules that came from evaporation or plant transpiration, and some is bound up in the carbon dioxide released during animal respiration. Much of this carbon dioxide and water is eventually recycled through the biosphere via photosynthesis.
 
  The purpose of the paragraph is
 
  a. to inform the reader of the complexity of the oxygen cycle.
  b. to describe how photosynthesis takes place.
  c. to compare the chemical forms in which oxygen occurs.
 
  The tone of the paragraph is
  a. judgmental. b. informative. c. analytical.
