Coal is chemically complex fuel. Whenever it is burned, gases are given off and particles of ash, called "fly ash," are released. Release of sulfur from burning into the air. The sulfur in coal combines with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide, which can be a major source of air pollution if emitted in large enough quantities. This stuff comes back as acid rain when it attaches itself to a raindrop.    Today, many of the effects of coal burning have been reduced significantly or eliminated. This is super-nasty and is only stopped by buying low-sulfur coal from Montana or Wyoming. The eastern power plants have to pay to move the coal from out west and this increases the price of power production.

Answer: C) Salary refers to the fixed amount paid on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. Explanation: A salary is best described as a fixed amount of income that is paid to an individual on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.   A salary can also be described as the annual earnings paid out over a year.

Anything larger and the computer would need to break the number into smaller pieces.   16-bit is a computer hardware device or software program capable of transferring 16 bits of data at a time. Today, 16-bit hardware and software has been replaced by 32-bit and 64-bit alternatives, which give the computer more memory to work with; increasing overall performance.   For example, early computer processors (e.g., 8088 and 80286) were 16-bit processors, meaning they were capable of working with 16-bit binary numbers (decimal number up to 65,535).

Answer: B) 12 Explanation: Using BODMAS law, 3 x 3 + 3 - 3 + 3 = 3 x 3 = 12 = 12 + 3 - 3 + 3 =  9 + 3 = 12   Hence, 3 x 3 + 3 - 3 + 3 = 12.

Answer: A) a heterogeneous mixture Explanation: A pure solid and a pure liquid are definitely a single phase because they are so united, or homogeneous. This leads to a homogeneous mixture also being a single phase.   Hence, the option that cannot be considered a single phase is A. a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer: C) 9 Explanation: The given expression can be simplified as 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) The expression can be simplified further by the order of operations, using BODMAS rule.   First evaluate Parentheses/Brackets, then evaluate Exponents/Orders, then evaluate Multiplication-Division, and finally evaluate Addition-Subtraction.   Now, the expression becomes 6 ÷ 2 (3)   According to the order of operations, division and multiplication have the same precedence, so the correct order is to evaluate from left to right. First take 6 and divide it by 2, and then multiply by 3. 6 ÷ 2 × 3 = 3 × 3 = 9 But not  6÷2×3 = 6 ÷ 6 = 1     Hence, 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) = 9.

Answer: A) Adam crept silently up the stairs, but couldn't slow his heartbeat. Explanation: The sentence which contains both an adverb and a conjunction is "Adam crept silently up the stairs, but couldn't slow his heartbeat."   Here, Adverb - Silently and Conjunction - But.

Answer: C) in the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. Explanation: All of the genetic information in a cell was initially thought to be confined to the DNA in the chromosomes of the cell nucleus. It is now known that small circular chromosomes, called extranuclear, or cytoplasmic, DNA, are located in two types of organelles found in the cytoplasm of the cell. These organelles are the mitochondria in animal and plant cells and the chloroplasts in plant cells. Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) contains genes that are involved with aspects of photosynthesis and with components of the special protein-synthesizing apparatus that is active within the organelle. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contains some of the genes that participate in the conversion of the energy of chemical bonds into the energy currency of the cell—a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—as well as genes for mitochondrial protein synthesis.
