Select the correct text in the passage.
Donny has written a letter to his principal. One sentence is unclear because it’s not specific enough. Which sentence is it?
Dear Principal Shelton,

We heard that you were looking for a celebrity to come and speak to our school. You don’t want to choose just any celebrity; you need to choose someone who can impact our school for good. Emma Watson played the character of Hermione in the Harry Potter movies. She’s someone that students at our school can relate to, admire, and be inspired by.

Ms. Watson is known as a kind person, and because of this, she was chosen for an important role in an organization. She believes in the importance of educating girls around the world. She spent time in Bangladesh and Zambia in order to promote education for girls in these two countries. Both of these countries have large populations of women who cannot read. Emma Watson travels the world to encourage people to support equality for females, the empowerment of women, and education for everyone. Not only does her message encourage girls to strive for excellence and equality, but it can also teach everyone the importance of education.

Which sentence shows how Estelle's grandfather's life greatly affected his family's future?

Great Expectations
"Estelle, please read the next two paragraphs," Ms. Tate said. "Estelle. Estelle!"
Estelle cleared her throat and spoke up, "I'm sorry, Ms. Tate. Where are we?"
"Page 17. Third paragraph," Ms. Tate responded with a frown on her face. Estelle began reading. She tried to make her voice seem light and interested. However, she was having a hard time concentrating on a story about a beaver and an antelope.
Over the weekend, Estelle's family had celebrated her brother's enlistment in the United States Navy. He would be the third generation to serve in the Navy. Her grandfather had been the first. When he was a young man in El Salvador, he had fallen in love with Estelle's grandmother. He didn't have much money. He wanted to provide a good home for his future wife, so he wanted to go to the United States. He had heard that there would be better opportunities there. He left El Salvador and joined the United States Navy. During his service in the military, he became a U.S. citizen. After five years of serving in the Navy, Estelle's grandfather moved to Long Beach, California. Estelle's grandmother joined him in Long Beach, and they were married there. Her grandfather took a job as a night-shift security officer so that he could go to school during the day. He earned a bachelor's degree in social science. Her grandfather then began his career working for a nonprofit group that helped low-income families.
Estelle's grandfather spoke of his service in the Navy often. He talked about it to the children and teenagers he met through his job. He talked about it at home. It was her grandfather's stories about his time in the Navy that prompted her father to join the Navy. Now, Estelle's brother was about to begin an adventure of his own. What stories will he have to tell?
Brrring. Brrring. Brrring. The school bell chimed. Estelle closed her textbook and began to pack her backpack. Maybe one day she could join the Navy, too. Her grandfather would like that.

My heart be brave, and do not falter so,

Nor utter more that deep, despairing wail.

Thy way is very dark and drear I know,

But do not let thy strength and courage fail;

For certain as the raven-winged night

Is followed by the bright and blushing morn,

Thy coming morrow will be clear and bright;

'Tis darkest when the night is furthest worn.

Look up, and out, beyond, surrounding clouds,

And do not in thine own gross darkness grope,

Rise up, and casting off thy hind'ring shrouds,

Cling thou to this, and ever inspiring hope:

Tho' thick the battle and tho' fierce the fight,

There is a power making for the right.

What do you think Langston Hughes would say to someone who was thinking about putting off their dreams?

An excerpt from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain 1 You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied one time or another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or maybe Mary. Aunt Polly--Tom's Aunt Polly, she is--and Mary, and the Widow Douglas is all told about in that book, which is mostly a true book, with some stretchers, as I said before. 2 Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece--all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round --more than a body could tell what to do with. The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied. But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable. So I went back.

Florida Earthquake History

United States Geological Survey

Although Florida is not usually considered to be a state subject to earthquakes, several minor shocks have occurred there. Only one of these caused damage. Additional shocks of doubtful seismic origin also are listed in earthquake documents.

A shock occurred near St. Augustine, in the northeast part of the State, in January 1879. The Nation's oldest permanent settlement, founded by Spain in 1565, reported that heavy shaking knocked plaster from walls and articles from shelves. Similar effects were noted at Daytona Beach, 50 miles south. At Tampa, the southernmost point of the felt area, the trembling was preceded by a rumbling sound at 11:30 p.m. Two shocks were reported in other areas, at 11:45 p.m. and 11:55 p.m. The tremor was felt through north and central Florida, and at Savannah, Georgia.

In January 1880, Cuba was the center of two strong earthquakes that sent severe shock waves through the town of Key West, Florida. The tremors occurred at 11 p.m. on January 22 and at 4 a.m. on the 23rd. At Buelta Abajo and San Christobal, Cuba, many buildings were thrown down and some people were killed.

The next tremor to be felt by Floridians also centered outside the State. It was the famous Charleston, South Carolina, shock in August 1886. The shock was felt throughout northern Florida, ringing church bells at St. Augustine and severely jolting other towns along that section of Florida's east coast. Jacksonville residents felt many of the strong aftershocks that occurred in September, October, and November 1886.

On June 20, 1893, Jacksonville experienced another slight shock, apparently local, that lasted about 10 seconds. Another minor earthquake shook Jacksonville at 11:15 a.m., October 31, 1900. It caused no damage.

A sudden jar caused doors and windows to rattle at Captiva in November 1948. The apparent earthquake was accompanied by sounds like distant heavy explosions. Captiva is located on Captiva Island, in the Gulf west of Fort Myers.

On November 18, 1952, a slight tremor was felt by many at Quincy, a small town about 20 miles northwest of Tallahassee. Windows and doors rattled, but no serious effects were noted. One source notes, "The shock interfered with writing of a parking ticket." It didn't say in what way.

The three Florida shocks of doubtful seismic origin rumbled through the Everglades -La Belle -Fort Myers area in July 1930, Tampa in December 1940, and the Miami -Everglades -Fort Myers area in January 1942. Most authorities attribute these incidents to blasting, but a few contend they were seismic.

In “A Retrieved Reformation” by O. Henry, Jimmy Valentine has left his old life behind. Which two sentences from the excerpt support this inference?
Socially he was also a success, and made many friends. And he accomplished the wish of his heart. He met Miss Annabel Adams, and became more and more captivated by her charms.

At the end of a year the situation of Mr. Ralph Spencer was this: he had won the respect of the community, his shoe-store was flourishing, and he and Annabel were engaged to be married in two weeks. Mr. Adams, the typical, plodding, country banker, approved of Spencer. Annabel's pride in him almost equalled her affection. He was as much at home in the family of Mr. Adams and that of Annabel's married sister as if he were already a member.

One day Jimmy sat down in his room and wrote this letter, which he mailed to the safe address of one of his old friends in St. Louis:

Dear Old Pal:
I want you to be at Sullivan's place, in Little Rock, next Wednesday night, at nine o'clock. I want you to wind up some little matters for me. And, also, I want to make you a present of my kit of tools. I know you'll be glad to get them—you couldn't duplicate the lot for a thousand dollars. Say, Billy, I've quit the old business—a year ago. I've got a nice store. I'm making an honest living, and I'm going to marry the finest girl on earth two weeks from now. It's the only life, Billy—the straight one. I wouldn't touch a dollar of another man's money now for a million. After I get married I'm going to sell out and go West, where there won't be so much danger of having old scores brought up against me. I tell you, Billy, she's an angel. She believes in me; and I wouldn't do another crooked thing for the whole world. Be sure to be at Sully's, for I must see you. I'll bring along the tools with me.

Your old friend,
Jimmy.

On the Monday night after Jimmy wrote this letter, Ben Price jogged unobtrusively into Elmore in a livery buggy. He lounged about town in his quiet way until he found out what he wanted to know. From the drug-store across the street from Spencer's shoe-store he got a good look at Ralph D. Spencer.

Read the excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole by Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano.

However, in day-to-day experience, the strangeness of Einstein's ideas doesn't help us, and Newton's notions do just fine. In everyday life, when gravity isn't especially intense, Newton's and Einstein's ways of thinking lead to similar results. The two explanations work like different languages that express the same thing. Is an apple red (English) or rojo (Spanish)? It's okay to use either description.

So we still use Newton's laws—even scientists do, much of the time. Sure, it's more exact to be Einsteinian and think of gravity as matter's effect on space. But it's all right to take a Newtonian shortcut and imagine gravity as a pull.

The details in the excerpt best support which conclusion?

Sometimes scientific questions are left unanswered.
Some things can have more than one explanation.
Knowing two languages helps to understand science.
Choosing between two different ideas can be difficult.
