Read this excerpt from the selection. What does it tell you about tides?

Question

A They can affect the speed of Earth's daily rotation.
B They can track time over billions of years.
C They are the same speed as a quark.
D They give Earth 24 hours in a day.

Answer 1

Based on the options provided, the excerpt likely indicates that tides are related to Earth's rotation and timekeeping. The most relevant interpretation from the options is:

B They can track time over billions of years.

This choice suggests that tides can provide information relevant to the passage of time, possibly in terms of geological or astronomical changes over long periods. The other options are less relevant to the typical understanding of tides.

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion. Without the specific excerpt provided, it's difficult to determine the exact context. However, based on the options regarding tides, the best answer seems to be:

A They can affect the speed of Earth's daily rotation.

This option suggests that tides can influence the rotation of the Earth, which is true due to the gravitational pull of the Moon and the consequent tidal forces. If you can share the excerpt, I can provide a more accurate analysis.
