In order to accurately answer this question you must be familiar with the basic properties of water, in which case the correct answer is obvious.
Swamp-living plants will produce the following fossil fuel(s):
* A. coal B. natural gas C. oil D. A and B E. B and C
This is a basic content-oriented question, with a twist. You are offered a variety of combinations within which to fit the correct answer. The bottom line is that you will need more than a passing familiarity with the subject in order to correctly answer the question.
Which of the following is an organic molecule? A. O2 oxygen B. H2O water C. NH3 ammonia
* D. CH4 methane E. None of the above
This question forces you to evaluate each response individually. A through C are definitely not organic molecules (by definition), but since both oxygen and water are required for life, they may both be somewhat tempting answers. Answer D does contain carbon but may be unfamiliar to you and there is also the possibility of selecting option E (None of the above). If you are secure in your understanding of what an organic molecule is (and is not) this question appears simple; however, if you are not clear as to what characterizes an organic molecule then this becomes a confusing and frustrating question with more than one seemingly correct answer. If that is the case, you need to apply the strategies just suggested for coming up with your selection for the best
