Read the rough draft of a student’s conclusion to an argumentative editorial.
(1) Year-round schooling would help student achievement. (2) Not so much information would have to be crammed into nine months. (3) Furthermore, the elimination of long breaks, particularly summer break, would significantly reduce "learning loss” and the additional time wasted at the beginning of each academic year to reteach previously learned material. (4) It is clear that year-round schooling helps students learn and retain more. (5) The United States is not the only country to experiment with a year-round school schedule. (6) Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to open their eyes and see that students in these schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. (7) It is about time that we replaced our outdated and inefficient school calendars.

Which best revises sentence 6 to create a more appropriate and respectful tone?

Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, studies consistently reveal that year-round students score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.

Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, this theory is wrong because students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.

Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, they would admit defeat if only they would do their research and find that students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.

Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to study their facts and acknowledge that students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.

Answer:

I would say that the best revision to sentence 6 is the first fragment: "Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, studies consistently reveal that year-round students score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars."

It is the fragment with the most appropriate and respectful tone since it mentions the consistency of certain studies and supports the main clain with those studies and their revelations, using an ethos rethorical approach.

The other options do not provide other sources of information to support the main claim, and they focus on discrediting the counterclaimants or even regarding them in a paternalistic way.

Read the excerpt from "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell. Probably it is better to put off using words as long as possible and get one’s meaning as clear as one can through pictures or sensations. Afterwards one can choose—not simply accept—the phrases that will best cover the meaning, and then switch round and decide what impressions one’s words are likely to make on another person. This last effort of the mind cuts out all stale or mixed images, all prefabricated phrases, needless repetitions, and humbug and vagueness generally. Which best describes George Orwell’s purpose and the way he achieves it in this excerpt? Orwell’s purpose is to inform his readers about political events. He achieves this by listing important events of his day. Orwell’s purpose is to inform his readers about political events. He achieves this by quoting a current news article.

Read this passage.
"Have you ever left your computer feeling sore in your wrists or shoulders? Or does your neck feel strained from looking up or down at your monitor? Take a
moment next time you are at your workstation to see what your setup looks like. Ergonomics is the practice of designing and arranging objects to allow for
efficiency and healthy alignment of the body while performing tasks. By doing a little research about an ergonomic workstation and then making small changes to
your work area, you can prevent muscle strains and tension, headaches, pinched nerves, and other physical disorders. For example, raise or lower your chair so
your feet can touch the ground and so it is at the proper height and distance from your keyboard and mouse. Also, you might need to prop your monitor on a sturdy
platform to make the screen in line with your eyes so you do not have to lift or lower your head to see properly. Changes like these may seem small, but having an
ergonomic workstation just might save you a trip to the doctor."

Tyger, tyger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire? And what shoulder and what art Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And, when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand and what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears, And watered heaven with their tears, Did He smile His work to see? Did He who made the lamb make thee? Tyger, tyger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? The speaker in “The Tyger” questions what great power created the amazing animal that we know as the tiger and how it was done. Read the stanza from the poem: What the hammer? what the chain?

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective." Diane stood in front of a mirror and stuck out her tongue. It looked like a rosy pink welcome mat to her delicate insides. Her usual rubber mold formula was out of the question—too toxic. She wondered, What is safe to swallow, fast and easy to apply, and hardens quickly into a firm mold? One of her horse-riding pals, a veterinarian named Mary Wright, had the answer: alginate. Mary told Diane that alginate was a pink gummy material used to make molds of teeth. If it was safe for pets, it should be safe for a tiger. And people, too, Diane thought. At her lab she mixed the alginate powder with water to form a paste. Standing in front of a mirror, she scooped up a blob and spread it on her tongue. She pressed it down with her fingers to get out any air bubbles. Not bad, she thought. Tastes just like spearmint. She decided to make an extra-thick mold to make it easier to peel off. So, she added another gloopy blog—and another. With her thickened tongue hanging out, Diane padded around the lab doing odds and ends while the material set. After about 10 minutes, she peeled off the alginate slowly and carefully. It was fragile—bendable and easy to tear—but it made an excellent impression of her tongue. Which action in the excerpt illustrates that Diane is dedicated to her work? A.She makes a mold of her own tongue. B.She performs odd jobs around the lab. C.She stands in front of the mirror. D.She goes horseback riding with a friend.
