Reading Comprehension: Detail Function Questions
The author of the passage explains the process by which a supersaturated solution is created in order to
Excellent work!
[[snippet]]We know that a supersaturated solution contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution, but we also know that a saturated solution cannot absorb more solute. The author resolves this seeming paradox by telling us about the special circumstances required to create supersaturated solutions.
Incorrect.
[[snippet]]Although the author mentions that supersaturated solutions are volatile, the process by which they are created does not tell us why this is so.
Incorrect.
[[snippet]]Even thought the author tells us in the fourth paragraph that supersaturation plays a role in polymorphism, we do not need the details of how a supersaturated solution is formed in order to understand polymorphism.
Incorrect.
[[snippet]]We do not learn anything about the properties of a supersaturated solution from the author's description of how one is created; hence, this cannot be the function of this explanation.
Incorrect.
[[snippet]]The author does not state or imply that creating a supersaturated solution is difficult so this cannot be the function of this explanation.
