READ THE PASSAGE CAREFULLY AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS
The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean. It stretches southward across the largest and northernmost state in the United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly 800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely complicated to operate. The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It weaves through crooked canyons, climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes over or under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter, and up to 2 million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily. Resting on H-shaped steel racks called "bents," long sections of the pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth. Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky ground and return to the surface later on.

The pattern of the pipeline's up-and-down route is often determined by the harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic climate, the tortuous lay of the land, and the varied compositions of soil, rock, or permafrost (permanently frozen ground). A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain and the properties of the soil.

One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately $8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by private industry. In fact, no single business could raise that much money, so eight major oil companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company controls oil rights to a particular share of land in the oil fields and paid into the pipeline-construction fund according to the size of its holdings. Today, despite enormous problems of climate, supply shortages, equipment breakdowns, labor disagreements, treacherous terrain, a certain amount of mismanagement, and even theft, the Alaska pipeline has been completed and is operating.

Which phrase in the first paragraph mean ‘Supported by’?
According to the last paragraph, ______________________ determines what percentage of the construction costs each member of the consortium would pay.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. "Rested on" means supported by.

2. The size of each company's holding share in the oil fields

The Invention of the Washing Machine
In the past, people used sticks and stones or scrub boards to clean their clothing. It was sweaty, backbreaking work. [Therefore,; Of course,; It's no wonder,; To sum up,] we owe a world of thanks to James King. He created the model for the modern washing machine in 1851. This machine cleaned clothes while a person cranked the handle. People who used it developed strong muscles in their arms from turning the handle. [Yet,; For,; So,; Then,] in 1908, Alva J. Fisher created an electric washing machine named Thor. Thor was not the first automatic washing machine. However, it was one of the most popular models at the time.
