Read the rough draft of a student’s conclusion to an argumentative editorial. (1) Year-round schooling would help student achievement. (2) Not so much information would have to be crammed into nine months. (3) Furthermore, the elimination of long breaks, particularly summer break, would significantly reduce "learning loss” and the additional time wasted at the beginning of each academic year to reteach previously learned material. (4) It is clear that year-round schooling helps students learn and retain more. (5) The United States is not the only country to experiment with a year-round school schedule. (6) Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to open their eyes and see that students in these schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. (7) It is about time that we replaced our outdated and inefficient school calendars. Which best revises sentence 6 to create a more appropriate and respectful tone? Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, studies consistently reveal that year-round students score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, this theory is wrong because students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, they would admit defeat if only they would do their research and find that students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. Although many stil
This is the opening extract of the novel, The Woman In Black. In this extract, the narrator discusses what his life is like now, long after a traumatic ordeal with a ghostly woman who stole the life of his only son.
CHRISTMAS EVE
It was nine-thirty on Christmas Eve. As I crossed the long entrance hall of Monk’s Piece on my way home from the dining room, where we had just enjoyed the first of the happy, festive meals, towards the drawing room and the fire around which my family were now assembled, I paused and then, as I often do in the course of an evening, went to the front door, opened it and stepped outside.
I have always liked to take a breath of the evening, to smell the air, whether it is sweetly scented and balmy with the flowers of midsummer, pungent with the bonfires and leaf-mould of autumn, or crackling cold from frost and snow. I like to look about me at the sky above my head, whether there are moon or stars or utter blackness, and into the darkness ahead of me; I like to listen for the cries of nocturnal creatures and the moaning rise and fall of the wind, or the pattering of rain in the orchard trees, I enjoy the rush of air towards me up the hill from the flat pastures of the river valley.
Tonight, I smelled at once, and with a lightning heart, that there had been a change in the weather. All the previous week, we had had rain, chilling rain and a mist that lay low about the house and over the countryside. From the windows, the view stretched not farther than a yard or two down the garden. It was wretched weather, never seeming to come fully light, and raw, too. There had been no pleasure in walking, the visibility was too poor for any shouting and the dogs were permanently morose and muddy. Inside the house, the lamps were lit throughout the day and the walls of larder outhouse and cellar oozed damp and smelled sour, the fires sputtered and smoked, burning dismally low.
My spirits have for many years now been excessively affected by the ways of the weather, and I confess that, had it not been for the air of cheerfulness and bustle that prevailed in the rest of the house, I should have been quite cast down in gloom and lethargy, unable to enjoy the flavour of life as I should like and irritated by my own susceptibility. But Esme is merely stung by inclement weather into a spirited defiance, and so the preparations four our Christmas holiday had this year been more than usually extensive and vigorous.
I took a step or two out from under the shadow of the house so that I could see around me in the moonlight. Monk’s piece stands at the summit of land that rises gently up for some four hundred feet from where the little River Nee traces its winding way in a north to south direction across this fertile, and sheltered, part of the century. Below us are pastures, interspersed with small clumps of mixed, broadleaf woodland. But at our backs for several square miles it is quite a different area of rough scrub and a heathland, a patch of wildness in the midst of a well-farmed country. We are but two miles from a good-sized village, seven from the principal market town, yet there is an air of remoteness and isolation which makes us feel ourselves to be much further from civilization.

Sister Carrie
by Theodore Dreiser
She brooded over her lines the livelong day on Friday—reporting first for a final rehearsal and later studying alone in her room.
"Oh, dear! dear!" she said, "I just know I won't succeed."
At the rehearsal Hurstwood put in an appearance. He could not resist the temptation.
"Well," he said, "I thought I had better run out and see how you felt."
"Oh, I don't know," said Carrie. "I'm rather shaky."
"Well, don't you be now," he said cordially, "it isn't worth it. These people will be indulgent with you. Besides it will be nothing if you do miss some of your lines. Just drive on—you'll come out all right. You will—now be easy."
Adapted from Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie, 1900.
What can you infer about Hurstwood’s thoughts regarding Carrie’s upcoming performance?
A.)He thinks she shouldn't worry about the performance.
B.)He thinks she shouldn't worry about the performance
C.)He thinks she needs more practice.
D.)He thinks she will be tempted to change her lines.
He thinks she needs more practice
He thinks she will be tempted to change her lines.
Answer:
A.)He thinks she shouldn't worry about the performance.
Explanation:
Hurstwood thinks that Carrie should not worry herself about the performance. Before her performance, Carrie was overcome by fear. Hurstwood sensing Carrie's fear went to her, to encourage her not to be scared as the audience would not be very critical of her performance.
He reminded her that there might be a possibility of missing some of her lines but that she should not be deterred by that.

2. In the text, the author discusses both the
benefits and drawbacks of censorship. Which is
more important: freedom or security? Explain your
answer. Write short paragraph
To me, freedom means to be able to have the power to think freely, speak, and have the right to have thoughts about things other people may disagree to and no one can say anything about it because it matters to what only YOU think. Other people can say what ever they can to get an agreement out of people, to start a movement. Take Rosa Parks as an example. She didn't have the right to sit in the white persons side of the bus. With her knowing she didn't have the right, she stood up for herself and the others and with that she started a movement to free the blacks and stop racism against different races. With that voice of her's she created something big that would become history.

Story: born worker
The author most likely chose this narrative point of view to
O A. suggest that José is the hero of the story and Arnie is the villain
B. give readers a window into José's thoughts at crucial moments in the story
O C. make readers more resentful of José's cousin, Arnie
O D. express disapproval towards the character of Mr. Clemens
Answer:
B. give readers a window into José's thoughts at crucial moments in the story
Explanation:
The author of "Born Worker", chose a narrative point of view for this story so as to provide the readers with insight on José's thoughts at important parts of the story. José was the protagonist in the story. He was the "born worker", who did not say much most of the time but rather had his say in his mind.
The narrative style of the story allows us to know what José thought of most of the time. For example, after Arnie said that he knew one of his dad's colleagues whose dog fed on steak, the author narrated José's thoughts thus;
"He's a liar, José thought. No matter how he tried, he couldn't picture a dog grubbing on steak. The world was too poor for that kind of silliness."

Select the piece of evidence that best supports this claim.
Answer:
Electric cars require much less maintenance than gas-powered cars (choice 1)
Explanation:
The claim "Electric cars are superior to gas-powered cars" needs to be supported with a piece of evidence that shows why electric cars are better than gas-powered cars. Between the two options, the first one is the only one that is in support of electric cars, because it talks about how they require less maintenance than gas-powered cars. However, the second option points out a flaw of electric cars, which is their range as compared to gas-powered cars. Therefore, the first option is correct.
Explanation:
Choice A lists a positive aspect about electric cars not needing as much maintenance compared to gas powered cars. This could be perhaps due to the less moving parts. Though I think as time goes on, electric cars may wear out at around the same rate compared to gas powered cars. I'm not too familiar with the tech, so I would get a second opinion.
Choice B mentions how electric cars can't drive very far, and need frequent recharges. This is a negative statement that would make someone not an electric car and would likely make them think that gas powered cars are better. So this means we can rule out choice B.
