Read the excerpt below from the student model by Ruby Allen Short. In this essay, the writer's main focus, or theme, is her fear of changing her appearance. As you read, think about what supporting evidence is used to support this focus.

I have had long hair for as far back as I can remember. Long hair, almost to my hips, the kind that people always want to touch and braid, even when they hardly know you. The kind that gets sticky at the back of your neck when it's hot, goes staticky at the ends when it's humid, and takes hours to dry after a ten-minute shower. The kind people notice. My long hair was a part of me, as much as an arm or a leg. It easily identified me to others and to myself. That was why it was such a big deal for me when, this recent summer, I decided to cut most of it off. I hadn't even gotten a trim in years—partially out of laziness, but mostly because I couldn't imagine myself without my signature waist-length locks. Changing it came with a laundry list of intimidating unknowns, the kinds of questions I hadn't considered for years. Would I look different? Would I feel different? Keeping it long felt familiar and certain. I could still be confident; I could still feel like myself.

What statement is an example of supporting evidence for the writer's theme?

A. "I have had long hair for as far back as I can remember."
B. "My long hair was a part of me, as much as an arm or a leg."
C. "Long hair, almost to my hips, the kind that people always want to touch and braid, even when they hardly know you."
D. "I could still be confident; I could still feel like myself."

Explanation:

How can you tell that Benjamin Franklin’s Proposal is a primary source document?

Read the following passage:

I want to be a vocal advocate for nature. I believe so strongly in being a benefactor for the outdoors that I recently helped a group with a river cleanup. I was mortified to see the destruction of animals and plants. When I got home, I composed a letter to my state politicians and asked them to allocate more money to the local river cleanup effort. I believe my vocation is to help citizens see that we are at a junction. We can decide to subject nature to abuse, or we can decide to be a benefactor to nature. I won't let obstacles detract from my mission.

The prefix, root, and suffix in the word "benefactor" as they are used in sentence 2 give us an approximate definition. Which of the following definitions is accurate?

A person who does good
The state of doing good
The result of something good
To make something good

Read the excerpt from “Pakistan’s Malala.”

But what do you do when you're 11? You go to the playground and you play, so that's what they did.

Some of the girls said they thought everything would work out. They'd be back, they said.

Malala wanted to be hopeful, too. But before she left, she turned around and took one long look at the building.

Malala was right about the edict and what it meant.

After January 2009, she was forced to stay at home and read books, Ellick said.
Eventually she was moved around the country where she attended ad-hoc schools.

How did the setting of Malala’s education change after the Taliban took over Swat Valley?

She had to read at home or attend school in secret locations.
She joined other children at the playground to read and study.
She stopped trying to pursue an education in any way.
She continued to attend the same school she had before.

Read the excerpt from "The Treasure of Lemon Brown.”

Lemon Brown didn’t move. Greg felt himself near panic. The steps came closer, and still Lemon Brown didn’t move. He was an eerie sight, a bundle of rags standing at the top of the stairs, his shadow on the wall looming over him. Maybe, the thought came to Greg, the scene could be even eerier.

Greg wet his lips, put his hands to his mouth and tried to make a sound. Nothing came out. He swallowed hard, wet his lips once more and howled as evenly as he could.

"What’s that?”

As Greg howled, the light moved away from Lemon Brown, but not before Greg saw him hurl his body down the stairs at the men who had come to take his treasure. There was a crashing noise, and then footsteps. A rush of warm air came in as the downstairs door opened, then there was only an ominous silence.

Which statement most accurately describes Lemon Brown’s and Greg's actions in the excerpt?

Greg’s actions prove that he hopes to win the trust of Lemon Brown so that he will hand over his treasure to him.
Lemon Brown’s and Greg’s actions reveal that they have had problems in the past with the men looking for the treasure.
Greg’s brave actions prove to Lemon Brown that Greg can be trusted to keep his treasure.
Lemon Brown’s courage inspires Greg to take action against the neighborhood thugs.

can someone identify the logical fallacy

To begin, my opponent says they have your best interests at heart, but how can that be true when they are lazy and unpleasant? I don’t think that’s the type of person you want represent our class. I am hard-working and want to make the school a better place. I’d like to begin with our recycling efforts.
