To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of snake venom. Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) Alum - This option is incorrect because alum is a chemical compound commonly used in various industries, but it is not the poisonous fluid that snakes give out.

Option B) Ammonia - This option is incorrect because ammonia is a compound composed of nitrogen and hydrogen. While it can be toxic in high concentrations, it is not the poisonous fluid that snakes give out.

Option C) Sap - This option is incorrect because sap is the fluid that circulates in plants, such as trees, and is not related to the poisonous fluid that snakes give out.

Option D) Venom - This option is correct because venom is the poisonous fluid that snakes give out. It is a specialized secretion produced by venomous snakes and is used for hunting, self-defense, or both.

To answer this question, we need to consider the information given. It takes twenty minutes to hard-boil one goose egg.

If we want to hard-boil four goose eggs, we can assume that each egg takes the same amount of time to cook.

Therefore, to hard-boil four goose eggs, it will still take twenty minutes.

Option A) 40 - This option is incorrect because it assumes that each egg takes 10 minutes to cook, which is not stated in the question. Option B) 0 - This option is incorrect because it assumes that no time is required to hard-boil the eggs, which is not realistic. Option C) 20 - This option is correct because it aligns with the information given in the question. Option D) 80 - This option is incorrect because it assumes that each egg takes 20 minutes to cook, which is not stated in the question.

The correct answer is C) 20. This option is correct because it aligns with the information given in the question.

To solve this problem, let's first break down the information given:

Monique is 24 years old. She is twice the age Valerie had when Monique was the same age that Valerie is now.

Let's assume Valerie's current age is "x" years.

When Monique was "x" years old, Valerie's age at that time was "x - (24 - x)" years. This can be simplified to 2x - 24 years.

According to the problem, Monique's current age is 24 years, so when Monique was "x" years old, Valerie's age at that time was 2x - 24 years.

We can set up an equation to solve for x:

2x - 24 = 24

Adding 24 to both sides of the equation:

2x = 48

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

x = 24

Therefore, Valerie's current age is 24 years.

Let's go through each option to confirm our answer:

A) 12 - This option is incorrect because Valerie's current age is 24 years, not 12 years. B) 24 - This option is incorrect because Valerie's current age is 24 years, not 24 years. C) 48 - This option is incorrect because Valerie's current age is 24 years, not 48 years. D) 18 - This option is correct because Valerie's current age is indeed 24 years.

The correct answer is D) 18. Valerie is currently 18 years old.
