Engaging in outdoor activities has been shown to significantly enhance social connections among individuals. These activities offer a unique platform for people to interact in a relaxed and natural setting, which fosters genuine relationships. Whether it's a group hike, a team sport, or simply a walk in the park, the shared experience of being outdoors allows individuals to connect on a deeper level. Outdoor activities often require teamwork and communication, which are essential components for building strong social bonds. When people come together to achieve a common goal, such as reaching the summit of a mountain or winning a game, they develop a sense of camaraderie and trust. This collaborative effort not only strengthens existing relationships but also helps in forming new ones. Furthermore, being in nature has been linked to reduced stress levels, which can make social interactions more enjoyable and less strained. The natural environment provides a calming backdrop that can ease tensions and encourage open communication. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who may find socializing challenging in more formal settings. In addition to these benefits, outdoor activities can also bridge the gap between different social groups. They provide an inclusive environment where people from diverse backgrounds can come together and engage in a shared interest. This inclusivity helps to break down social barriers and fosters a sense of community and belonging. In conclusion, outdoor activities play a crucial role in enhancing social connections. They promote teamwork, reduce stress, and encourage inclusivity, all of which contribute to stronger, more meaningful relationships. As such, participating in outdoor activities can be a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their social life and build lasting connections. 13. What is the main idea of the passage? A.

Fossils, the preserved remains of ancient organisms, provide invaluable insights into Earth's history. To understand the timeline of life on our planet, scientists employ various dating methods to determine the age of these fossils. This process, known as fossil dating, is crucial for constructing the geological time scale and understanding evolutionary history. One primary method used in dating fossils is relative dating. This technique involves determining the age of a fossil by comparing its placement in layers of sedimentary rock. The Law of Superposition is a key principle here, stating that in undisturbed layers of rock, the oldest layers are at the bottom, with younger layers on top. This allows scientists to establish a chronological order of fossils without knowing their exact ages. (I). In contrast, absolute dating provides a more precise age estimate. This method often utilizes radiometric dating, which measures the decay of radioactive isotopes within the fossil or the surrounding rocks. One common form of radiometric dating is carbon-14 dating, which is effective for dating fossils up to about 50,000 years old. For older fossils, scientists turn to isotopes with longer half-lives, like potassium-40 or uranium-238. (II). Each dating method has its strengths and limitations. Relative dating is useful for identifying the sequence of events and changes over time, but it cannot provide exact ages. Absolute dating, while more precise, requires specific conditions and materials, such as the presence of radioactive isotopes, to be effective. (III). By dating fossils, researchers can track evolutionary changes, study extinct species, and understand the environmental conditions of ancient Earth. (IV). This knowledge not only illuminates the past but also helps predict future biological and geological changes. 26. What is the primary purpose of fossil dating? A. To create a timeline of Earth's geological events B. To understand evolutionary history C. To determine the exact location of fossils D. To identify the mineral composition of fossils 27. Which word is a synonym for "insights" as used in the passage? A. mindlessness B. sanity C. judgement D. perception 28. What is a limitation of relative dating? A. It provides exact ages B. It requires radioactive isotopes C. It is only applicable to igneous rocks D. It cannot provide exact ages 29. Which dating method uses carbon-14? A. Absolute dating B. Relative dating C. Geological dating D. Stratigraphic dating 30. What is an advantage of absolute dating over relative dating? A. It is less expensive B. It uses the Law of Superposition C. It can date any type of rock D. It provides more precise age estimates 31. Why is radiometric dating important in absolute dating? A. It compares sedimentary layers B. It identifies the fossil's species C. It determines the fossil's location D. It measures radioactive decay 32. For fossils older than 50,000 years, which isotopes are used? A. Carbon-14 B. Potassium-40 or Uranium-238 C. Helium-3 D. Nitrogen-15
