Answer:

By keeping readers in suspense

Explanation:

I took the quiz!

Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
Despite our best efforts as parents, we will always make mistakes in raising our children. It's inevitable. There are so many decisions to be made in any given day, week, month, or year. It's an inhuman task to make all of
these decisions correctly. Who would even want to try for perfection?
We shouldn't worry too much, though, because it is precisely our mistakes that teach our children the most about life. Life is full of mistakes, obstacles, and trouble. Shielding our children from these by striving for perfection in
our own parenting does them no favors.
Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply bet the chips fall where they may. Admittedly, that attitude is not without its benefits, but it goes too far in the other direction. Children
are much more observant than we think, but often draw the wrong conclusions from what they observe. If we give up trying to make the right decisions, they might get the message that we don't care about their future.
We can take comfort in this much: we teach our children even when we're not trying to. That doesn't mean we should stop trying to do our best to make the right decisions whenever possible. It just means that we shouldn't
best ourselves up when we make mistakes. Either it won't matter because it's something small, or it just might build some character in our children, a commodity that will serve them well.

Which of these sentences from the passage most directly expresses the counterclaim? (5 points)
"We can take comfort in this much: we teach our children even when we're not trying to
"Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply let the chips fall where they may
"Shielding our children from these mistakes) by striving for perfection in our own parenting does them no favors."
"We shouldn't worry too much, though, because it is precisely our mistakes that teach our children the most about life."

America’s space program does not get the attention it once did. It certainly doesn’t generate the same excitement. From the 1950s through the 1970s, astronauts were national heroes. Children dreamed of traveling through space. Adults looked to the moon with the sense of national pride. Those days could—and should—return again.
If average Americans search their brain, it is not hard to find arguments against space travel. It costs money. It’s dangerous. We have enough problems on our own planet. If the same Americans search their hearts, however, the results are different. Deep within us, we all have similar desires. Space exploration fulfills all these desires.
Let’s begin with curiosity. We all have it. From the time we are small children we long to know what is in the next room, down the street, or in the next town. We are nomads, wanting to explore. We are detectives, trying to solve a mystery. We are students of life, seeking answers. The space program gives us a chance to be all those things and more. Even if we don’t travel ourselves, the excitement of new discoveries would again feed our thirst for something new.
Another benefit of returning to space is the inspiration it provides. In the early days of space travel, America had a goal. We wanted to reach space safely and quickly. The country responded spectacularly. Teamwork and creativity reached all-time highs. Students delved deeper into science and math hoping to contribute. Heroes stepped up to bravely accept challenges. We were attempting the impossible and determined to succeed. Think of the amazing things Americans would accomplish if that inspiration returned.
Perhaps the largest thing lost with a shrinking space program is perspective. Exploring space reminds us how small and fragile our planet truly is. It encourages collaboration with other countries which helps cultural differences disappear. It can reveal the effects of abusing natural resources. Looking at our Earth from a great distance gives us a unique view of our world and the effect we have upon it.
Plans for America’s space program should clearly be revisited. Exploration of our solar system should continue not for science or power or money, but for the benefit of mankind. It gives us an outlet for our curiosity. It provides inspiration for our souls. It offers a perspective to help understand our place in the universe. The benefits are as vast as space itself.

Should textual information always be precise (clearly defined), descriptive, and true (factual)?

Are Stories a Key to Human Intelligence?

How do paragraphs 1-2 contribute to the development of ideas in
the text? Cite evidence from the text in your answer.

Paragraph 1-2
In a talk in Pittsburgh in 1997, the late evolutionary biologist Stephen J. Gould allegedly characterized humans as “the primates who tell stories.” Psychologist Robyn Dawes went much further, suggesting humans are “the primates whose cognitive 1 capacity shuts down in the absence of a story.”
To be sure, we love a good story. Research suggests thatanecdotes 2 can be as persuasive as hard data, and that jurors are influenced by the quality of the prosecution’s and defense’s “stories” when deciding whether to find a defendant guilty. Even in science, we seekexplanations, not mere descriptions; in history, we want a goodnarrative, not a mere sequence of events.

Why is setting important

How does the author of the passage
acknowledge opposing points of view?
by asking a series of questions
by directly addressing the reader
by naming famous artists
by discussing personal experiences
