Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows.

Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but you were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.

Which statement best describes the purpose of the first sentence in this paragraph?

The writer just wants to capture the reader's attention by mentioning foods that are popular with teens.
The writer is introducing an idea by comparing it to a situation most people would understand or experience.
The writer explains that just because you are in a family or community doesn't mean you can control the group.
The writer is trying to help you understand that voting is a long, complex process that affects many other people.

The writer is introducing an idea by comparing it to a situation most people would understand or experience.

Which of the following is an example of an extended definition?

A.) Automated systems are the cause of the loss of many jobs. Experts say that industrial automation will only grow with the increase of technology - especially due to the growth of the Internet and wireless capabilities. Systems can be customized for almost any segment of manufacturing or servicing.
B.) The rise of automated systems has also cost workers jobs. Automated systems use machines to perform tasks once done by humans. Unlike industrial robots that weld, paint, or assemble products, automated systems do not have specific tasks. Instead, they allow humans to conduct business transactions unassisted.
C.) Automated systems, or the use of machines to do human jobs, involves implementing automatic procedures in manufacturing or servicing.
D.) The International Society of Automation defines automated systems (noun) as "the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services."

A Bee Mystery

Recent surveys around the world have found some very sad and troubling news. Bees are not doing well. According to Time: Science & Space, "an estimated ten million beehives ... have been lost since 2006." What's worse, scientists are not sure why. Most beekeepers will tell you that bees tend to die in large numbers every spring. This is normal and necessary to keep a hive of bees healthy. But when the deaths add up to more than half the bees in an entire country, that is something altogether different and dire. Scientists have called this "colony-collapse disorder" or CCD. This name describes the effect, though, and not the cause of the die-out. Scientists simply do not know what is killing the bees.

Many things make it hard for bees. Varroa mites move into a colony and weaken it. Further, these mites carry viruses that attack those that survive. In addition, a new bacterium was recently discovered that attacks bees intestinally and kills them. Beekeepers go to great lengths to protect bees from these invaders, and for many years have been able to control them. All these attackers and the methods used to combat them do stress the bees, however.

Many feel the problem is not some new threat, but a decline in the habitat available to bees. Development of grasslands once home to wild flowers and food for bees has been universal. Pavement makes it easy to drive, but it replaces wild grasses and other food sources for bees. Perhaps, long before the mites and parasites moved in, humans took away enough of the bees' habitat to weaken their health. We plowed under a varied habitat and planted—in many cases—a single plant like beets. Then we sprayed all kinds of chemicals on the beets to keep other bugs away and in doing so also harmed bees. Now, to treat all the mites and other invaders, bee keepers use additional chemicals to kill the invaders. These chemicals also shorten the life of the bees. Have the use of chemicals, loss of habitat, and invading parasites made life impossible for bees? Experts continue to argue various theories, but few have any answers.

Colony collapse disorder is perhaps one of the most mysterious problems modern science has tried to solve. Whether the problem is environmental or an unknown disease, we will all feel the effects if bees continue to decline. Bees affect almost every aspect of the human food chain. From the fruits, vegetables, and grains we eat, to the grasses and grains we feed our livestock, we depend on bees to keep us healthy. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, bees account for 15 billion dollars in crops. Honey is a treasure for sure, but the real gold is in the strawberries, apples, peaches, and green beans we eat and need to stay healthy ourselves. All told, the outlook for bees is not good. The outlook for humans may not "bee" so good either.

Read the following informational text and answer the question that follows:
"In today's schools, there is no reason to have an English class read a novel that is over 50 years old. A story written that long ago will not have
any value to the students of today. We live in an age of cell phones, video games, and the internet; things that were never imagined by the
characters in these stories. It is impossible for students to relate to these characters since they will never be seen facing a similar problem that
students face today."
What is the central idea of this text?
A. The decline of students' grades is due to older novels.
B. Students should not read older novels because they can't relate to the characters.
C. Today's schools can't relate to students.
D. Today's students don't like to read.

Read this excerpt from a student’s essay that compares and contrasts Earth to Mars. What points are being compared about the subjects?

In the entire solar system, Mars boasts general features that are some of the biggest, widest, and deepest. One of its standouts is the immense Olympus Mons, a volcano of such size and scale that its own peak reaches above most of the Martian atmosphere. Olympus Mons could not even exist on Earth; with Earth's stronger gravity field, the massive volcano would collapse under its own weight if it were here. The Martian giant rises about 23 kilometers from the surrounding plains. On Earth, the closest thing resembling this volcanic giant is the Mauna Loa peak on Hawaii, which rises about 10 kilometers from its base on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. Both of these mountains are dramatically taller than the Himalayan Mt. Everest. But Mt. Everest is not a volcano; both Mauna Loa and Olympus Mons are.

____________ has a unique culture with traditions such as bagpipes, kilts and highland dancing.
A. England B. Wales C. Scotland D. Northern Ireland
