Mr. Park has two aquariums with 4 koi fish inside each of them. Both aquariums are filled
with the same amount of water, and the fish are fed twice a day with an equal amount of
food. He installed air pumps in both aquariums, but he only put water moss in aquarium 2.
On the next day, Mr. Park found that almost all the fish in aquarium 1 were swimming near
the water surface, while all the fish in aquarium 2 were swimming normally.
When Mr. Park removed two fish from aquarium 1 and put them into aquarium 2, the rest of
the fish stopped swimming near the water surface. Why did it happen? Find the most
appropriate answer.
A.
Air pump in aquarium 1 makes the water move to the surface, so that there are a lot
of CO2 at the bottom of aquarium.
B.
Moss in aquarium 2 facilitates the gas exchange from below to the water surface, so
that the fish get an adequate oxygen supply.
C.
Air pump in aquarium 1 does not provide enough oxygen for the four fish, so the fish
seek for more oxygen on the water surface.
D.
Moss in aquarium 2 absorbs the CO2 produced by the fish, so no more CO2 in the
water.

Elena records a voice note using her phone. When she replays it, she hears a higher voice
than when she speaks. It is because the sound travels in different ways in both voices.
Through voice note, the vibration of the sound waves goes through the air and reaches the
ears. Explain how Elena’s voice travels to the ears when she speaks and how the pitch
changes. Use the keywords: bony skull and ear drum.
