A The atmosphere on Earth has changed over time B Plant growth depended on oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere C Hot underground gasses created clouds, which formed the Earth's atmosphere D The original atmosphere on Earth was unstable Question 10: The word "enveloped" is closest in meaning to _ A characterized B surrounded C changed D escaped Question 11: The word "they” refers to A rocks B steam vents C volcanoes D gasses Question 12: According to the passage, outgassing eventually led to all of the following EXCEPT A the formation of clouds B decreases in the level of nitrogen C increases in the carbon dioxide content of sedimentary rocks D the formation of bodies of water Question 13: The word "gradually" is closest in meaning to _ A by degrees B in the end C quickly D accidentally Question 14: The passage suggests that oxygen remained in the atmosphere because _ A hydrogen became trapped in limestone B it was caused by outgassing C rays from the sun created equal amounts of hydrogen and oxygen D it was heavier than hydrogen Question 15: The author uses the word "Or" to A suggest an alternative B provide unrelated information C propose a similar idea D criticize the previous suggestion Question 16: The phase "At any rate" is closest in meaning to A regardless B although unlikely C in addition D fortunately Question 17: The Earth's atmosphere is described in terms of the A role of volcanoes in its formation B time it took for the Earth's surface to cool and nitrogen to appear C order in which changes occurred D chemical and physical features of gasses Question 18: 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? A Water B Carbon dioxide C Hydrogen D Nitrogen Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions Question 19: Mr Thomas does not allow us _ in his office A smoke B smoking C to smoke D smoked Question 20: Where did you buy that _ handbag?
