Question 26 of 30
26. Question
Read the texts about the Everglades below to answer the following question.
Text 1
The Everglades is often called the “River of Grass” because it appears to be a slow-moving, shallow river. This unique ecosystem covers over 1.5 million acres in southern Florida. The landscape is made up of sawgrass marshes, hardwood hammocks, and mangrove forests. For centuries, this natural water system has supported diverse wildlife and filtered water flowing south from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay.Text 2
Recent environmental studies suggest that calling the Everglades a “river” is misleading. While research confirms that water does indeed flow from Lake Okeechobee southward to Florida Bay, the water movement is too irregular and dispersed to qualify as a river system. The water moves through a complex network of wetlands rather than a defined channel. Some argue that this misconception has led to poor water management policies.The authors of both texts would agree with which statement?

Read the text below about research on social media use it to answer the question that follows.
Two researchers recently studied the impact of social media on teenage sleep habits. Dr. Thompson’s study of 2,000 teenagers found that social media use directly disrupts sleep patterns. She concludes, “The data clearly shows that each additional hour of nighttime social media use reduces sleep by 45 minutes.” However, Dr. Peters’ research suggests a different relationship.

The sleep problems come first, not the other way around.”
