Read the following selection carefully, paying close attention to detail.
She was thirty–eight or thirty–nine. She lived in a small frame house with her invalid mother and a thin, sallow, unflagging aunt, where each morning between ten and eleven she would appear on the porch in a lace–trimmed boudoir cap, to sit swinging in the porch swing until noon. After dinner she lay down for a while, until the afternoon began to cool. Then, in one of the three or four new voile dresses which she had each summer, she would go downtown to spend the afternoon in the stores with the other ladies, where they would handle the goods and haggle over the prices in cold, immediate voices, without any intention of buying.She was of comfortable people — not the best in Jefferson, but good people enough — and she was still on the slender side of ordinary looking, with a bright faintly haggard manner and dress. When she was young she had a slender, nervous body and a sort of hard vivacity which had enabled her for a time to ride upon the crest of the town's social life as exemplified by the high school party and church social period of her contemporaries while still children enough to be unclassconscious. She was the last to realize that she was losing ground; that those among whom she had been a little brighter and louder flame than any other were beginning to learn the pleasure of snobbery–male–and–retaliation–female. That was when her face began to wear that bright, haggard look. She still carried it to parties on shadowy porticoes and summer lawns, like a mask or a flag, with that bafflement of furious repudiation of truth in her eyes. One evening at a party she heard a boy and two girls, all schoolmates, talking. She never accepted another invitation.

What evidence from the passage best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar? Select two options. "Egypt became the world's great sugar laboratory" "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark" "drain out the dark molasses to use by itself" "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible" "Egyptians figured out how to meet that need"
Answer:
B. "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"
D. "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"
Explanation:
This best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar. If dark/brown sugar was easier to produce, then it would obviously not be as worth as much. How white was called pure and sweet put it at a higher value than brown sugar.
During the sixteenth century, the plantation of sugar aroused to be one of the more factor that multiplied the slave trade by the Europeans.
White sugar was rare and more valuable during that period that the brown sugar because the white sugar was:
"The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"
"wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"
The planation of sugar was first brought into highlight after Christopher Columbus's invasion in the Southeastern Asian region. The letters written by Columbus brought immense interest in the mind of the European settlement and they moved in the land of Asia and started to colonize the area. The sweet cane became the reason of increase of slavery because of the need of the human labor for its planation.

As he sat on the highest chair on his laboratory to contemplate his future, he accidentally bumped his knees on the steel transistor he had just created. Sure, it hurt like getting punched by Boyd, the class bully, but Joey's mind was occupied. He was just one step away from pressing a button and escaping it all. It would just take him one second to change his future and that of humankind forever.
Joey did not care about the pizza lying cold on his table or the homework still untouched in his backpack. He knew he might have found a way to impress Becky Nakamura, but he was not sure she would believe him at all. How could anyone believe that Joey had figured out a way to transport himself to the past? It was not the same as traveling to the future, but Joey was sure he would succeed in that mission as well.

Answer:
Explanation:
It was a bright shiny morning and Phillip and I had just begun the day's walk. Like we have done every morning for the past six years. " You must never stop moving" my father had told my best friend and I " If you stop before you get to tomorrow you will never make it.." So that is what we have done, walked and walked and walked for six whole years to a place that we don't even know what looks like. But apparently we will know when we get there, at least that's what dad and Phillip have told me. "You will feel it when you get there". But i'm not convinced. I mean the to much of the world is rotting,why would there be anything left? The virus ruined everything. First it just was killing of the old, then it spread to the young. Then within three years the entire human race as we knew it was gone. How is Phillip and I still alive you ask? Well we are immune, yeah lucky us. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the fact I won't turn into a mindless monster of a human. But that also means that we have a huge target on my back. They call themselves the "seekers" "we will seek out the cure, we will seek out the immune, we are seeking for you." They have been "seeking" for Ten years. So that's why we keep going, and going and going. Because if we stop we will get seeked, (that's what they call it when your caught). The seekers have control of all the land that's liveable, and in order to enter that land you are tested first to see if your immune. And if you are captured and Tortured, (Tested is their prefered choice of words). And no one makes it back out alive. Philip is the only reason i make through the days. He is this bright ray of light in my cold dark world, Dad and I found him Eight years ago. When we were both Eight years old. Dad and I were shopping in an old grocery store and I was digging through a stack of army blankets when I got to the bottom and there was a small sleeping boy. I wanted to just leave him there but dad and his big heart said otherwise. But he wouldn't have made it without us. Back then he was much shorter than me, weaker too but sadly i have only grown five more inches since then. Phil on the other had grew two whole feet. He really likes to call attention to that, on an hourly basis. I say he likes me, you know likes me likes me. And if we are being honest i am beginning to like him too. But I don't have time for love, I'm too busy focusing on keeping us both alive. Only thing Phil is good at is shooting, and that's only handy when someone is shooting at us. So I'm the one who finds the food, the water, the clothes, everything we need in order to stay alive. Right now I'm taking us to the old mall, it's supposed to still have clothes and shoes. Phil really needs some more shoes, if i have to listen to him complain one more time about a rock sticking him in the foot then i promise i'm going to lose it. Then after we found Bigfoot some shoes we were going to the old Mc donalds, i heard that the Coke machine still works. I haven't had coke since dad died. Mainly because you can't find it, but also the fact that it reminds me too much of him it was our thing. Dad loved it, it also is what got him killed, it was my birthday and Dad and Phil were determined to get me a decent birthday present. They thought I was sleeping so they left the hotel room we were in that night to go find some. I wasn't asleep though, because them two couldn't be quite long enough if their life depended on it. So I followed them down back streets and up alleys. Until they arrived in an old abandoned Walmart, the most intact one I had ever seen. I watched them go in and I waited and waited, ten minutes later a group of people went in after them, turns out that those people were immune hunters. By the time I got to Dad to warn him it was too late, He sacrificed himself for us, before he died he told me to never give up, find your tomorrow. He then wanted to tell Phil something in private, but Phil told me in a letter that he made him promise he would never leave me. I think Dad always knew that Phill would fall for me, I think he also knew that I would too. I've tried every year for six years, on this day to drink it but i've never been able to.

The chimney swift's adaptability was severely hindered around 1970s. 3. The first paragraph in the passage on chimney swifts includes this description: "...large colonies of hundreds, or even thousands, of individuals form tornado-like funnels." Why does the author include this in the passage? A. It proves the author is an expert in bird studies B. It provides the reader with an engaging image C. It establishes the passage as a work of fiction D. It offers supporting evidence for the claim 4. Based on the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. The author provides facts to support the main idea B. The author uses an informal style that appeals to readers C. The author has an extensive background in bird studies D. The author relies on first-hand observation of chimney swift behavior 5. Which of the following lists support the main idea of the passage? A. Chimney swifts appear in North America in summer, migrate to the tropics in winter, and give birth in the spring B. Logging and deforestation, changes in the ways we heat our buildings, and chimney capping have robbed the chimney swift of its preferred roosting sites C. The small, slender bird known as the chimney swift migrates in large numbers, can be seen only at dusk, and raises its young in the tropics D. Metal-lined chimneys, chimney towers, and reforestation efforts will ultimately result in the growth of the chimney swift population 6. Which of the following conclusions can swift population 6. Which of the following conclusions can the reader make from the passage? A. Metal flumes are inserted in masonry chimneys to prevent birds, such as chimney swifts, from nesting in them B. Chimney swifts can easily adapt roosting behaviors to any structure made of the proper material C. Chimney swifts are nocturnal birds whose large numbers are evident in the size of their colonies D. Moving in large chipping flocks is a natural protection against predators Chimney swifts are small, slender birds that have become a symbol of summer for many. They usually appear in North America during warm, summer months as they make their way to more tropical sites for the winter. They are recognized most often as spectacular, chirping flocks moving through the sky in synchrony. Chimney swifts can be seen most vividly at dusk when large colonies of hundreds, or even thousands of individuals form tornado-like funnels as they descend into the chimneys. Unfortunately, the size of the colonies we see is misleading. Though the numbers may seem remarkable, chimney swift populations have been declining sharply since the 1970's due primarily to habitat loss. Unlike most birds, chimney swifts cannot perch or stand upright, so they require long, hollow spaces that are enclosed to provide safe roosting and nesting sites. Historically, chimney swifts preferred hollow trees. However, as pioneers colonized territory and replaced forests with towns, the species was forced to adapt by using other structures, such as chimneys. In the US, a large-scale shift to alternate heat sources, chimney- capping and the use of fabricated chimneys has drastically impacted their ability to nest during migration. Traditionally, chimneys were lined with clay, which the swifts were able to cling to and make their nests. Newer, prefabricated chimneys are often lined with metal flues Traditionally, chimneys were lined with clay, which the swifts were able to cling to and make their nests. Newer, prefabricated chimneys are often lined with metal flues that make it impossible for them to use. In addition, logging and deforestation may make finding suitable overwintering habitat more challenging than ever. In an effort to sustain the remaining population, conservation groups have designed supplemental housing structures, called "Chimney towers." These towers are designed specifically to provide roosting sites for chimney swifts. Chimney swifts now rely almost entirely on man-made structures like these to survive. However, because this species is remarkably adaptable, even minimal conservation efforts like keeping traditional masonry chimneys uncapped during the summer months can drastically improve their chance of survival.
Answer:
1. A. The diminishing numbers of chimney swift can be reversed by simple conversation efforts.
Explanation:
Option A best summarizes the passage because it truly expresses and captures the author's main idea of presenting the declining state of chimney swifts and proferred a solution to the declination.
2. D. The chimney swift's adaptability was severely hindered around 1970s.
Explanation:
This is true because it is seen from the passage that during the 1970s they started experiencing habitat loss. This habitat loss hindered their adaptability.
3. D. It offers supporting evidence for the claim.
Explanation:
The author in the bid to further explain how one can recognize the chimney swifts at dusk gave a supporting evidence that at dusk they move in large colonies of hundreds, or even thousands of individuals form tornado-like funnels.
4. A. The author provides facts to support the main idea
Explanation:
This is true because the author provides sufficient facts in order to support his main idea. He goes from the year they started experiencing habitat loss to the issues surrounding their habitat loss and ways to conserve them. Every step of the way, he provides clear facts.
5. B. Logging and deforestation, changes in the ways we heat our buildings and chimney capping have robbed the chimney swift of its preferred roosting sites.
Explanation:
Since the main idea reveals how chimney swifts are diminishing due to habitat loss and the conservative efforts needed to be implemented to save them, this option clearly reveals the adverse effects of logging and deforestation, changes in heating our buildings and chimney capping on the chimney swift's roosting sites. Thus, supporting the author's main idea.
6. B. Chimney swifts can easily adapt roosting behaviors to any struture made of the proper materials.
Explanation:
This option captures the conclusion perfectly because it reveals the conservative effort that can be implemented to save chimney swifts from total extinction. Also, this option resonates perfectly with the concluding part of the passage.
1. Which of the following best summarize the passage?
A. The diminishing numbers of chimney swift can be reversed by simple conservation efforts
This statement covers the main point of the passage: The number of these small, slender birds has decreased over the years due to habitat loss, but, since they are very adaptable, this situation can be reversed by doing simple conservation efforts, like keeping traditional masonry chimneys uncapped.
2. Which of the following can be inferred from the information in the passage?
D. The chimney swift's adaptability was severely hindered around 1970s
In the text, the author mentions that around this time the chimney swift populations started to decline sharply due primarily to habitat loss (Their environment was changed due to logging, deforestation, and the use of prefabricated chimneys), which help us infer that their adaptability was severely hindered around this time.
3. The first paragraph in the passage on chimney swifts includes this description: "...large colonies of hundreds, or even thousands, of individuals form tornado-like funnels." Why does the author include this in the passage?
B. It provides the reader with an engaging image
These words create a vivid picture in our mind that helps us see how the chimney swifts move.
4. Based on the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. The author provides facts to support the main idea
To support the main idea, the author uses facts: he or she explains when the chimney swift population started to decline, and for what reasons (mainly due to deforestation, lodging, and prefabricated chimneys), and proves, with examples, how adaptable these birds are.
5. Which of the following lists support the main idea of the passage?
B. Logging and deforestation, changes in the ways we heat our buildings, and chimney capping have robbed the chimney swift of its preferred roosting sites.
The chimney swifts' preferred spaces to roost and nest are long, enclosed, hollow spaces, such as trees and chimney lined with clay, where they can cling to and make their nests, but the changes that we, as humans, have made in the environment, have robbed the chimney swift of its preferred roosting sites.
6. Which of the following conclusions can the reader make from the passage?
B. Chimney swifts can easily adapt roosting behaviors to any structure made of the proper material
When logging and deforestation started to take away from chimney swifts their preferred natural home, this species successfully adapted to chimneys lined with clay, where they could cling to and make their nests. From this, we can conclude that Chimney swifts can easily adapt roosting behaviors to any structure made of the proper material.
