A Plant growth depended on oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere B The atmosphere on Earth has changed over time C Hot underground gasses created clouds, which formed the Earth's atmosphere D The original atmosphere on Earth was unstable Question 25: The word "enveloped" is closest in meaning to _ A escaped B changed C surrounded D characterized Question 26: The word "they” refers to A rocks B steam vents C volcanoes D gasses Question 27: According to the passage, outgassing eventually led to all of the following EXCEPT A increases in the carbon dioxide content of sedimentary rocks B decreases in the level of nitrogen C the formation of bodies of water D the formation of clouds Question 28: The word "gradually" is closest in meaning to _ A accidentally B by degrees C in the end D quickly Question 29: The passage suggests that oxygen remained in the atmosphere because _ A it was heavier than hydrogen B rays from the sun created equal amounts of hydrogen and oxygen C hydrogen became trapped in limestone D it was caused by outgassing Question 30: The author uses the word "Or" to A provide unrelated information B suggest an alternative C criticize the previous suggestion D propose a similar idea Question 31: The phase "At any rate" is closest in meaning to A although unlikely B in addition C fortunately D regardless Question 32: The Earth's atmosphere is described in terms of the A chemical and physical features of gasses B order in which changes occurred C time it took for the Earth's surface to cool and nitrogen to appear D role of volcanoes in its formation Question 33: Which of the following does the passage mention as necessary for both the production of oxygen by photo dissociation and the production of oxygen by plants?
