The answer is "natural."

Explanation for each option:

  • Visible: This option is incorrect. "Visible" refers to something that can be seen or is apparent, which does not align with the context of "innate" in the passage.

  • Natural: This is the correct option. "Innate" refers to qualities or abilities that are inborn or naturally occurring, rather than acquired or learned. In the context of the passage, it suggests that the differences in math achievement are not due to natural or inherent abilities.

  • Negative: This option is incorrect. "Negative" refers to something harmful or undesirable, which does not fit the meaning of "innate."

  • Acquired: This option is incorrect. "Acquired" refers to qualities or abilities that are gained or learned through experience, which is the opposite of "innate." The passage contrasts "innate" with cultural lessons, which are acquired.

Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? The temperature of blood is typically higher. The salt concentration of blood is about 0.85% to maintain osmotic pressure. Blood is a liquid connective tissue and constitutes a significant portion of a person's overall body weight. The homeostatic range for blood pH is 7.35 to 7.45, making it slightly alkaline. Blood is 4-5 times more viscous than water, making it harder for the heart to pump than water.
