The oil spill covers 4 square kilometers in 1/4 of an hour. Therefore, in 1 hour, it will cover 4 x 4 = <<4*4=16>>16 square kilometers.
In 2 hours, it will cover 16 x 2 = <<16*2=32>>32 square kilometers.
Therefore, the correct answer is 32 square kilometers.

The town's population has grown by 600 people in 2 years. Therefore, on average, it grows by 600/2 = <<600/2=300>>300 people per year.
In 5 years, it would grow by 300 x 5 = <<300*5=1500>>1,500 people.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1,500 people.
In 5 years, it would grow by 300 x 5 = <<300*5=1500>>1,500 people.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1,500 people.

Therefore, the correct answer is 6,000 deer.
In an area of 300 square miles, the scientist can expect to find 20 x 300 = <<20*300=6000>>6,000 deer.
Therefore, the correct answer is 6,000 deer.

The driver drove 90 miles and used 4 gallons of gasoline. To find the consumption rate in miles per gallon, we divide the total miles driven by the number of gallons used. Therefore, the consumption rate is 90 miles / 4 gallons = 22.5 miles per gallon.
Therefore, the correct answer is 22.5 miles per gallon.
Therefore, the correct answer is 22.5 miles per gallon.
