A town tested a new app that sends emergency notices to residents. During the first trial, volunteers received a sample warning about heavy rain. The warning was only for practice, and no actual flood had occurred. Staff asked volunteers whether the message was clear and how quickly they could find the nearest shelter.

The town said that the trial showed how the app worked, not how many real emergencies it could prevent.

Transcript:
A nature center invited volunteers to observe birds from a marked path near a beach. On the first morning, they counted eighteen birds. On the second morning, they counted eleven.

Transcript:
At a town festival, food stalls introduced reusable containers. Customers paid a small deposit when receiving a container and got the deposit back after returning it. The organizers distributed five hundred containers during the day, but that did not mean five hundred different customers used them, since some containers were washed and used more than once. The organizers said the deposit system helped them track returns, but they still needed data about washing and transport before judging the overall environmental impact.

正解：A. After returning the container
根拠：got the deposit back after returning it。
全文和訳：地域祭りでは食品用の再利用容器を預り金付きで提供し、返却すると預り金が戻る。1日に容器500回分が配布されたが、洗って再利用されるため利用者500人とはいえない。預り金によって返却を追いやすくなったが環境全体への影響の判断には洗浄・輸送のデータも必要だ。

Transcript:
Students used two sensors to measure temperature in the schoolyard. The first sensor gave a reading two degrees higher than the second. Before deciding which was correct, the teacher asked students to place both instruments at the same location and compare them with a reference device. One sensor had not been calibrated properly.

根拠：one sensor had not been calibrated properly。

Transcript:
A secondary school taught students how public information about them can stay online. During an activity, students checked the privacy settings of sample accounts prepared by the teacher. Some sample profiles allowed strangers to view personal details, so students changed the settings to make them more private.

正解：B. Sample accounts prepared by the teacher
根拠：sample accounts prepared by teacher。

Transcript:
A local library was testing a small delivery service for readers who could not easily visit the building. Volunteers delivered books by bicycle to three nearby neighborhoods.

The library will compare the costs of deliveries with the number of readers served before deciding whether to continue.

正解：B. One reader could request books multiple times
根拠：one person could request books several times。

Transcript:
A town introduced an electric bus for a short trial. Staff measured how much electricity the bus used on a route with many hills. During one week, the bus used more energy on rainy days.

根拠：collect more records before claiming rain alone caused change。

Transcript:
The town checked twenty benches in a public park after receiving complaints about damage. Six benches needed repairs, but only four were repaired by Friday.
