American fashion designer Patrick Kelly was known for his love of colorful buttons. Many of his signature dresses feature bold assortments of buttons throughout the garment. In a paper, a fashion design student claims that Kelly’s use of buttons as decoration was inspired by his childhood observations of the styles and actions of the women in his family. Which quotation from a work by a historian would be the most effective evidence for the student to include in support of this claim?
The most effective evidence for the student to include in support of their claim would be:
“Kelly’s grandmother, who would repair clothing when he was a child, frequently added mismatched buttons to the clothes to draw attention away from any flaws in the garments.” (Choice B)
"Exploring the cultural and social influence on fashion, Kelly's childhood experiences and observations of the women in his family greatly informed his design aesthetic, particularly his use of colorful buttons as a decorative element in his garments."
“Kelly’s grandmother, who would repair clothing when he was a child, frequently added mismatched buttons to the clothes to draw attention away from any flaws in the garments.”
(Choice B) “Kelly was destined to be a designer from a young age: he learned how to sew clothing from his aunt Bertha, and his love of drawing was developed by his mother.”

“Kelly was destined to be a designer from a young age: he learned how to sew clothing from his aunt Bertha, and his love of drawing was developed by his mother.”
(Choice C) “Although some of the assortments of buttons appear to be mismatched pieces scattered randomly throughout Kelly’s dresses, his most famous designs feature carefully crafted patterns of matching buttons.”

Roasted green chiles are a popular ingredient in Southwestern cuisine, but the traditional roasting method of burning propane is not environmentally friendly. To see if solar power could provide a better alternative, engineer Kenneth Armijo and his team roasted batches of green chiles using between 38 and 42 heliostats, which are devices that concentrate sunlight. The team was successful in reaching the same roasting temperature used in traditional propane roasting, but they found that propane yielded faster results. While the fastest solar-roasted green chiles took six minutes, batches using propane took only four. Armijo hypothesizes that they can reduce the roasting time for solar-roasted green chiles by using more heliostats.
Which finding, if true, would most directly support Armijo’s hypothesis?
Choose 1 answer:
If true, the finding that using more heliostats to concentrate sunlight results in a shorter roasting time for solar-roasted green chiles would most directly support Armijo's hypothesis.
Attempts to roast green chiles using 50 heliostats yields results in fewer than six minutes.
(Choice B) Green chile connoisseurs prefer the flavor of solar-roasted green chiles over the flavor of propane roasted green chiles.
B
Green chile connoisseurs prefer the flavor of solar-roasted green chiles over the flavor of propane roasted green chiles.
(Choice C) The skins of solar-roasted green chiles are easier to peel than the skins of propane-roasted green chiles.
C
The skins of solar-roasted green chiles are easier to peel than the skins of propane-roasted green chiles.
(Choice D) The temperature inside the roasting drum is distributed more evenly when roasting green chiles with solar power than with propane.
D
The temperature inside the roasting drum is distributed more evenly when roasting green chiles with solar power than with propane.
The finding that, if true, would most directly support Armijo's hypothesis would be:
Attempts to roast green chiles using 50 heliostats yield results in fewer than six minutes. (Choice A)

Some residents in a neighborhood in Atlanta recently founded a community garden inside a local park. The residents agreed to volunteer to take care of the garden together. Students at a local high school surveyed some of the volunteers as part of a project to understand the impact of the new garden. The students concluded that the new garden benefited the community overall by fostering connections and relationships between the volunteers and other residents of the neighborhood who weren’t volunteering at the garden.
Which quotation from a survey respondent would best illustrate the students’ conclusion?
