Whether Carmen Lomas Garza is creating small paintings and illustrations or large public artworks-such as Baile, a copper cutout of traditional Mexican dance in the San Francisco International Airport-she is _____ direct experience, drawing from memories of her childhood in Texas or details of her current surroundings in California.

Disproving the common misconception of Native art as ______, the painters whose work appears in the collection at the National Museum of the American Indian employ a range of styles. There are artists working in the traditional arts of their specific tribal communities, artists working in European modernist or American abstract expressionist art traditions, and artists blending various traditions into something wholly new.

The following text is from Betty Smith's 1943 novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Francie, a young girl, visits the library often.

Francie thought that all the books in the world were in that library and she had a plan about reading all the books in the world. She was reading a book a day in alphabetical order and not skipping the dry ones. She remembered that the first author had been Abbott. She had been reading a book a day for a long time now and she was still in the B's. Already she had read about bees and buffaloes, Bermuda vacations and Byzantine architecture. For all her enthusiasm, she had to admit that some of the B's had been hard going. But Francie was a reader.

Many literary theorists distinguish between fabula, a narrative's content, and syuzhet, a narrative's arrangement and presentation of events. In the film The Godfather Part II, the fabula is the story of the Corleone family, and the syuzhet is the presentation of the story as it alternates between two timelines in 1901 and 1958. But literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin maintained that fabula and syuzhet are insufficient to completely describe a narrative— he held that systematic categorizations of artistic phenomena discount the subtle way in which meaning is created by interactions between the artist, the work, and the audience.

Olms are salamanders that live in underwater caves. Scientists once thought that olms stay in their caves all their lives. However, Raoul Manenti and team claim that olms regularly come to the surface to perform important activities such as finding food.

Inés Ibánez and colleagues studied a forest site in which some sugar maple trees receive periodic fertilization with nitrogen to mimic the broader trend of increasing anthropogenic nitrogen deposition in soil. Ibánez and colleagues modeled the radial growth of the trees with and without nitrogen fertilization under three different climate scenarios (the current climate, moderate change, and extreme change). Although they found that climate change would negatively affect growth, they concluded that anthropogenic nitrogen deposition could more than offset that effect, provided that the change is moderate rather than extreme.

Some climate models for the western United States predict that while total annual precipitation may remain unchanged from the present level, precipitation will become concentrated into fewer but more intense rain and snow events. University of Texas climate scientist Geeta Persad and her colleagues simulated how the amount of water entering aquifers and the amount being used for irrigation purposes would change if this were to occur. Persad and her colleagues concluded that the concentration of precipitation into fewer events would result in a higher number of dry days, triggering more irrigation, but that this change in irrigation output is highly sensitive to the baseline concentration of precipitation that currently exists in an area.

In a 2013 study, Agness Gidna, José Yravedra, and Manuel Domínguez-Rodrigo compared the feeding behaviors of wild lions in Tanzania's Tarangire National Park with those of captive lions in Spain's Cabárceno Reserve. The researchers noted that previous studies focused on other carnivores have shown that providing animals with food at regular intervals, as is common in captive settings, may inadvertently facilitate the development of novel stereotypic (i.e., purposelessly repetitive) behaviors by reducing the need for a high degree of cognitive engagement with the environment; the researchers were therefore not altogether surprised to find that ______

In Auguste Escoffier's 1903 cookbook titled Le Guide Culinaire, the chef included over 5,000 dishes, including Oeufs Aurore (baked eggs), Gambas (jumbo shrimp) in garlic sauce, and Tarte aux Pignons (pine nut tart). Such iconic French recipes, described in surprisingly brief detail in Le Guide Culinaire, ______ the Victorian French cuisine Escoffier sought to preserve in his encyclopedic book.

The Borgia map is a mappa mundi from the fifteenth century. Currently held at the Vatican Library in Vatican City, it is one of over 1,000 such world maps from the European Middle Ages still remaining, with the even older Hereford map from the fourteenth century (now held at Hereford Cathedral in Hereford, England) ______ another one.

The African baobab (Adansonia digitata), known as Panke Baobab, located in Zimbabwe, was one of the oldest known trees in the world, at 2,419 years old. With over two millennia of climate data in its tree ______ single tree like this, claims dendrochronologist Valerie Trouet, can tell the history of the world.

A species of Bryopsis algae produces toxins to avoid being eaten by predators. However, in some cases, the toxins the organism uses to protect itself from predation actually ______ its attractiveness to predators. The Hawaiian sea slug, for example, not only tolerates Byropsis toxins but actually uses them for protection in the same way the algae does.

L. Leann Kanda, a researcher and sewing enthusiast, experimented with several techniques in her attempt to replicate the famous pleating of the Fortuny Delphos gown. The specific method, which the fashion ______ developed in the early twentieth century, is considered lost.

In hindsight, given the ideas about the natural world circulating among British scientists in the 1800s, the theory of natural selection was an obvious next step. It may not have been a coincidence, ______ that Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace arrived at the concept independently. Indeed, contrary to the popular myth of the lone genius, theirs is not the first paradigm-shifting theory to have emerged from multiple scholars working in parallel.

Some bands choose a name that's as unique as possible to distinguish themselves from other bands. The electronic rock band Primary, ______ took a different approach. They chose to name themselves after a song by a well-known band, the Cure.

Portuguese researcher Isabel C.FR. Ferreira reports that the caffeic acid in termite mushrooms benefits the mushroom by combating harmful molecules called free radicals. ______ Ferreira suggests that the acid can promote cellular health in humans, who also experience free radical damage.

The Eloi are not real: they are fictional creatures that feature in H.G. Wells's acclaimed science fiction novella The Time Machine. ______ the Eloi were prime candidates for inclusion in Jorge Luis Borges and Margarita Guerrero's The Book of Imaginary Beings, a compendium of fantastical entities from legend and literature. 

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) keeps a list of all at-risk species.
• Species on the list are classified as either endangered or threatened.
• A species that is in danger of extinction throughout most or all of its range is classified as endangered.
• A species that is likely to soon become endangered is classified as threatened.
• The California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii) is likely to soon become endangered, according to the FWS.

Despite stated claims of global relevance, much major research on income inequality performed in the 2010s suffered from a myopic focus on a few countries in North America and Western Europe, partly due to limited data availability. Researchers would later _____ this shortcoming after gaining new access to administrative records located in nations in Africa, such as Ivory Coast, and Eastern Europe, such as Poland.

The subscription model in which consumers who do not deliberately cancel their subscriptions automatically pay recurring fees for access to products and services benefits retailers when consumer _____ is high. Many of the 8.5 percent of subscribers who canceled their food and beverage subscriptions in January 2022 had stopped valuing their subscriptions long before then, but sellers profited from those customers’ passivity in the interim.

The Reckoning and Resilience (2022) exhibition at Duke University's Nasher Museum of Artin Durham, North Carolina, was curated to feature the work of thirty North Carolina artists. The included artists represent a wide variety of artistic disciplines, from painters such as William Paul Thomas to the mixed-media artist Johannes Barfeld. In its inclusion of many borrowed works, the exhibition is atypical for the Nasher Museum, which tends to curate its exhibitions around the permanent collection of contemporary art that it owns.

The Heege Manuscript (HM) is a collection of booklets of once-unbound paper sheets on which Richard Heege copied various texts at his fifteenth-century home between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire in England. Most other contemporaneous personal manuscripts like the Findern Anthology (FA) consist primarily of pieces for polite society like courtly love poems and other readings favored by elites, whereas the HM has a distinctive emphasis on the popular, including entertainments like nonsense verse, and the practical, with advice about medicine.

Text 1 is T.L. Hulme's 1912 poem "Above the Dock." Text 2 is from Amy Lowell's 1912 poem"The Crescent Moon." 

Text 1 

Above the quiet dock in mid night, 

Tangled in the tall mast's corded height, 

Hangs the moon. What seemed so far away 

Is but a child's balloon, forgotten after play 

Text 2 

Slipping softly through the sky 

Little horned, happy moon, 

Can you hear me up so high? 

Will you come down soon? 

Mauricio Drelichman and Hans-Joachim Voth's research into the debt defaults of Philip II (who ruled an empire including Spain and Sicily from 1556 to 1598) relates to other work on European early modern state finance, including Hoffman and Norberg's research on the relationship between state finance and political development. But Drelichman and Voth's unique contribution to the field is their reconstruction of the earliest extant set of annual fiscal records for any sovereign state, demonstrating in turn that Philip's defaults were caused by short-term cash shortages, not long-term unsustainable debts.

The following text is adapted from William Shakespeare's 1597 play The Tragedy of King Richard III. Richard is reflecting on the recent arrest of his brother, the Duke of Clarence, on suspicion of treason against King Edward IV., Derby, Hastings, Buckingham, Rivers, Dorset, and Grey are also members of the English nobility.

RICHARD: I do the wrong, and first begin to brawl.

The secret mischiefs that I set [flowing]

I lay unto the grievous charge of others.

Clarence, whom I indeed have cast in darkness,

I do beweep to many simple [gullible people],

Namely, to Derby, Hastings, Buckingham;

And tell them 'tis the Queen and her allies

That stir the King against the Duke my brother.

Now they believe it, and withal whet me

To be revenged on Rivers, Dorset, Grey.

In what is now southern Florida, the Calusa people (circa 1000-1600 CE) supported their relatively large population's dietary needs with hydrological engineering rather than terrestrial farming methods. They constructed watercourts (gated coastal enclosures) out of shells and sediments to trap a variety of fish as waters rose and fell with tides and seasonal sea-level shifts. Watercourt pools then held the fish for later consumption. Archaeologist Theresa Schober has posited an additional purpose of these enclosures, suggesting that they were intended to foster conch. She ties this hypothesis to the high value the sea snails would have had for the Calusa, both nutritionally and as a building material (conch shells are highly durable).

The mating environment hypothesis predicts that populations of flowering plants compensate for reduced mating opportunities due to dichogamy (a plant's expression of male and female functions at separate times to prevent self- pollination) by adjusting the bias of floral sex allocation during the flowering period, increasing the probability of successful cross-plant pollination, Researchers tested the hypothesis by examining a population of broadleaf arrowhead, a plant for which bloom onset generally takes longer for male flowers than for female flowers, during the flowering season. They concluded that the mating environment hypothesis is not well supported by their observational data.

As observed in a 1990 study by Kristina Sundbäck and colleagues, macroalgal proliferation may have a suppressive effect on the abundance of chlorophytes and other microphytobenthos (MPB)—chlorophyll-producing microbes inhabiting marine sediment—in part by reducing the amount of sunlight available to MPB. Examining benthic chlorophyll concentrations (a widely used proxy for MPB biomass) in mudflats in Hummock Cove and other coastal sites in Virginia, Alice F. Besterman and Michael L. Pace found that those concentrations did not negatively correlate with macroalgal proliferation. However, they noted that MPB may respond to low-light conditions by producing higher-than-normal concentrations of chlorophyll, and they thus concluded that ______

Branching in Jurisprudential Schools is one of the hundreds of thousands of manuscripts that have survived from roughly the sixteenth century to the present ______ being passed down through private libraries in the city of Timbuktu, Mali. Many of these manuscripts can be found at the Ahmad Boularaf Library.

Following the formation of the European Union (EU) that same year, the organizers of the 1992 Tour de France wanted the bike race to reflect the cross-national flow of people and trade that the EU had made possible. The resulting course was 2,500 miles long _____ seven separate borders of neighboring countries, modeled a vision of the EU's unifying aims.

As part of his Today series, Japanese conceptual artist On Kawara spent nearly fifty years—with near daily consistency—writing the date in simple white strokes on a monochrome background, resulting in pieces such as 2 JAN, 1971. Such meticulous documentation of mundane ______ artworks that "resonate with existential, psychological and scientific implications about the time-space continuum," according to the New York Times, became Kawara's life's work.

For her film I Am Somebody (1970), a documentary about a successful months-long strike held by Black female hospital workers in Charleston, South Carolina, director Madeline Anderson chose a narrator who had participated in the ______ by allowing the narrative to be shaped by one of their own, amplified the agency and power the workers possessed.

In a 1997 study by Mofareh et al., the researchers' aim was to analyze the diet composition of cattle in New Mexico. ______ they aimed to analyze the ratio of three different plant subtypes within these animals' diet: graminoids, forbs, and browse.

DeWitt Clinton employed the pseudonym "Atticus"—a reference to an ancient Roman figure—in political essays he wrote in 1795, a choice that accomplished far more than simply concealing his authorship. ______ it wasn't an arbitrary pen name but rather a complex rhetorical strategy through which Clinton aligned his political views with the venerated republican ideals of the ancient world, thereby bolstering the authority of his writing.

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• The nautical mile (6,076 feet) is the measure of distance used in seafaring navigation.
• A nautical mile directly correlates to one minute (1/60th of a degree) of latitude.
• The curvature of Earth affects the accurate measurement of long distances when using flat maps.
• Measuring distances with latitude and longitude coordinates takes into account Earth's curvature.
• Mariners use nautical charts marked with latitude and longitude to quickly calculate distances and positions.
