Exposing the Lunacy of the Lunar Effect
1
The sight of a full moon riding high in the sky on a cloudless night brings to mind beauty, the harvest, and poetic thoughts, but it also reminds us of legends of strange things that happen during a full moon. Some people believe that the full moon affects humans and animals. Temporary insanity, violence, car accidents, animal bites, and births all increase when the moon is full… or do they? While belief in the lunar effect is widespread, there is little evidence to suggest it is a real phenomenon.

2
One argument commonly put forth in favor of the lunar effect is that tides are higher when the moon is full. The human body is mostly water. If the moon can affect an entire ocean, surely it affects us too. This line of thinking is problematic for several reasons. First, the water of the ocean is not confined within a small space in the same way that the water inside the human body is. Second, the gravitational pull the moon exerts on any objects here on Earth is actually very weak. Finally, the highest tides occur not only during the full moon, but also the new moon. If the lunar effect is real, then it should logically also be observable during the new moon.

3
The results of some studies have suggested that animals are more aggressive (and more likely to bite) during a full moon, and that the number of births also peaks around this time, but they are the exception. As shown in the table below, many other investigations have failed to find any correlation between these events.

4
It is true that the full moon can interfere with sleep, but this was mainly a problem before artificial lighting. There is no mystery here. People tend to sleep best when it is dark. A full moon makes for a brighter night, so people don’t sleep as well. A streetlight shining into someone’s bedroom window would likely produce exactly the same result. The other beliefs about the lunar effect are largely based on isolated incidents, anecdotes, and fictional films and television programs. Stories about weird and mysterious occurrences during the full moon make for entertaining tales, but the lunar effect is nothing more than a myth.

Which statement BEST describes a connection made between the idea that the moon’s influence on the natural world is connected to its influence on humans in Moonstruck: Evidence for the Lunar Effect?

A
The moon has been affecting people since the beginning of time, so it is natural that the moon continues to do so.

B
Since animals tend to bite more during a full moon, humans end up in the hospital more often.

C
Since the moon has a strong gravitational pull when it is full, it also has the ability to cause an increase in birth rate.

D
The moon makes the oceans change, and since there is water in the human body, the moon must impact it as well.

Which statement BEST explains the effectiveness of the conclusion paragraph?
Thesis: Because the SnapShot computer application boasts such high numbers of users, I believe our school should allow our teachers to teach lessons using this widely loved photo app.
Conclusion Paragraph: Each afternoon outside of the school walls, my friends & I use SnapShot to create meaningful art, so using the app in the classroom would allow us to combine our SnapShot skills with learning. As stated earlier, students will be more enthusiastic about math or science lessons when using a popular computer application to complete projects or homework. Because our school recently added a computer lab, all students would have easy access to the application. Yes, SnapShot should be used in our school.
Possible Answers:
A. The conclusion is effective because it reinforces the author's credibility & accurately restates the essay's thesis statement.
B. Although the conclusion includes several points that support the main idea, it's ineffective because it fails to use an interesting & powerful closing sentence.
C. Although the conclusion restates the main idea of the essay, it's ineffective because it doesn't provide a summary of supporting points.
D. The conclusion is effective because it doesn't create needless & boring repetition of the essay's main ideas.

Remember these facts if you ever come into contact with someone who has a concussion. A concussion is an injury to the brain. The most common way to get a concussion is to hit your head. Even a simple fall could result in a concussion if a person hits his or her head on the ground. If you think someone is suffering from a concussion, the most important thing is to make sure he or she stays
. If someone passes out for more than a minute, you should
take him or her to the emergency room. Also try yelling out the person's name until he or she is able to
you.
