The answer is the fourth one: steppes.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Prairies: These are temperate grasslands found primarily in North America. They experience a range of temperatures but generally have a longer growing season compared to steppes.

  2. Savannas: These are tropical or subtropical grasslands with scattered trees, found in regions like Africa, South America, and Australia. They have a distinct wet and dry season but are not characterized by cold temperatures most of the year.

  3. Plains: This term is a general one that can refer to any flat, expansive area of land. Plains can be found in various climates, so it does not specifically refer to a cold, short-growing-season grassland.

  4. Steppes: These are temperate grasslands found in regions like Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and parts of North America. They are known for being cold most of the year and having a very short growing season, making them the correct answer to the question.

In summary, steppes are the temperate grasslands that are cold most of the year and have a very short growing season.

Which of the following sentences is likely to be found in a descriptive passage about a county fair? On Friday evening, join us for the parade through downtown, ending at the fairgrounds. The Ferris wheel rose high above the midway, illuminating the night sky. There were more than 25 entries in the livestock competition. I think the county fair should encourage more people to enter its baking and gardening competitions.

Snoring has long been considered an irritating but benign habit. However, "even isolated snoring might not be harmless," according to new research reported in the Forbes article "Snoring: A New Tip-Off to Stroke" (Haiken). The American Academy of Head and Neck Surgery defines snoring as "what you hear as a result of a form of blockage that obstructs the flow of air through the mouth or nose. The blockage causes the tissues of the airway to vibrate and flap." However, it is not the vibration and flapping of airway tissues that makes Henry Ford Hospital researchers Robert Deeb, MD, and Karen Yaremchuk, MD, so concerned. "Snoring can reveal damage to the carotid arteries-the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the brain." In their study, Deeb and Yaremchuk found that the damage to the carotid arteries could be due to the trauma and inflammation caused by the vibrations of snoring. Deeb said that snorers should seek treatment since they could be at risk for coronary artery diseases. Deeb said, "Patients need to seek treatment in the same way they would if they had sleep apnea, high blood pressure or other risk factors for cardiovascular disease." Early detection of cardiovascular disease indicated by snoring can lead people toward an earlier diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. Deeb said, "Snoring is generally regarded as a cosmetic issue by health insurance, requiring significant out-of-pocket expenses by patients. We're hoping to change that thinking so patients can get the early treatment they need, before more serious health issues arise" (Haiken).
