38. During the nineteenth century the molecular theory of matter was developed,which considered[u] all matter to be composed of tiny, indivisible entity called molecules.
matter 加s吗？
30. Although all sedimentary rocks contain iron, but the deposits that are richest 这里不加the 吗？ in iron consist predominantly of minerals such as iron oxides, carbonates, silicates, and sulfides.
不是形容词最高级都要加the吗？

38,你的原题能重发一下吗,那个红字部分which considered all看不明白
30，不是所有的形容词最高形式都要加the，这个应该根据这个最高级所要表达的意思和要做的成分而定。给你个例子：Bill Gates is richest in the US。这里richest可以看作是一个表语修饰Bill Gates。

38题不是该matter啊，是把entity改为entities

matter表物质时是不可数名词，所以不加s。参看以下例句：
Everything we can see and touch is made up of matter.
我们能看见和摸到的每件东西都由物质组成。
