The earth formed 4.5 billion years ago. Evolutionary biologists believe that single-celled prokaryotic life (cells without a cell nucleus) appeared on earth less than one billion years after that. What’s remarkable about this date is that geophysicists believe this was the earliest point at which the planet had cooled enough to sustain life. In other words, life appeared almost the instant (in geological time) that it was possible. For unknown reasons, it took more than another billion years for Eukaryotic life (cells with nuclei) to appear, another billion years for multicellular life to evolve from eukaryotic cells, and another billion years for humans to appear — which we did less than a million years ago. The processes that lead to multicellular life all took place in the earth’s oceans.
1. Which of the following statements would the author of the passage be most likely to agree with?
(A) The reasons why Eukaryotic life took so long to appear will never be known to us.
(B) Humans took longer to develop because we are so complex.
(C) The ocean was vitally important to the development of multicellular life.
(D) Multi-cellular life cannot be studied with the complexity it deserves.
(E) The Earth took 4.5 billion years to form.

2. Which of the following statements most accurately captures the main point of the passage?
(A) It has been a long and winding road to the development of multicellular life.
(B) The development of multicellular life took an inconceivably long time.

(D) No one knows when multicellular life developed.
(E) It is startling to realize how quickly life began to develop after the earth’s crust cooled.
