A new product on the market combines the benefits of a flashlight with a Geiger counter to
help first responders quickly identify radioactive threats. The Geigerlume looks and
operates like a flashlight until it is pointed at a nuclear radiation source. If it detects a
radioactive presence, a Geiger tube inside the flashlight changes the beam from a white
light to a red light. This tool should prove effective in helping keep first responders safe
when they are working at an accident, crime scene or terrorist incident. However, due to
the high cost of producing this tool, it is unlikely to be available for sale to the general
public
According to the passage, the presence of radioactive materials will cause the Geigerlume
to produce?
Select one:
a. a white light
b. a ticking sound
c. a red light
d. a clicking sound
e. an intermittent flashing of red and white - -a red light

, -A study tested the impact of shift length on a police officer's performance, safety and
quality of life. The research found that officers assigned to 8-hour shifts worked five times
more overtime as those on 10-hour shifts and three times more than those working 12-
hour shifts. Officers assigned to 10-hour shifts got substantially more sleep per night than
those on 8-hour shifts and had a much higher quality of work life. Also, officers on 10-hour
shifts worked the least amount of overtime of the three shift types, resulting in sizable cost
savings. Though shift length did not affect performance or safety measures, officers
working 12-hour shifts had much lower levels of alertness at work and were sleepier than
those on 8-hour or 10-hour shifts. One conclusion drawn from the study is that the benefits
seen with 10-hour shifts did not apply to the 12-hour shifts.
According to the passage, which of the following state - -Eight-hour shifts are more costly
to departments than 10-hour shifts.
