Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of The Joy of X by Steven Strogatz: But in the Hindu-Arabic system, it's a snap to write any number, no matter how big. All numbers can be expressed with the same ten digits, merely by slotting them into the
right places. Furthermore, the notation is inherently concise. Every number less than a million, for example, can be expressed in six symbols or fewer. Try doing that with words, tallies, or Roman numerals.

Which sentence from the text helps the reader understand the meaning of concise?

•"All numbers can be expressed with the same 10 digits, merely by slotting them into the right places."
•"Every number less than a million, for example, can be expressed in six symbols or fewer."
•"With place-value systems, you can program a machine to do arithmetic."
•"Ten is marked by a position-the 10s place-instead of a symbol."

Ineed . read the passage, and choose the two (2) inferences that are most firmly based on the given information. although lie detector tests are based on a sound principle, they are not alwaysaccurate. the test is based on the fact that people become emotionally “stirred up”when they lie. the lie detector can sense physical changes that accompany suchemotional responses. but an innocent person may react emotionally to a keyquestion. thus, he or she appears to be lying when actually telling the truth. and criminals who lie often may feel no guilt about anything. they can therefore tell huge lies without showing the slightest emotional ripple on the lie detector. without an emotional response, there are no physical responses to detect. 1. criminals never feel any guilt about their crimes. 2. lie detector tests are not foolproof. 3. anyone can easily fool the lie-detector machine. 4. an emotional response by an innocent person
