Article A

Sea otters live in the chilly Northern Pacific Ocean and spend almost all their lives in the water. They sleep, hunt, groom, mate, and give birth in the ocean, where they float on their backs on the water's surface. Adult sea otters spend more than a third of their day grooming their fur. This isn't for vanity; it's for survival. Unlike most sea mammals, sea otters do not have an inner layer of fat to protect them from the cold water. These creatures rely on their dense fur to protect them from the low temperatures. Sea otters have one of the thickest furs in all of the animal kingdom. An adult sea otter's coat can contain up to 1 billion individual hairs! These hairs form a protective, waterproof layer, which traps air and provides insulation. It is crucial that a sea otter's fur is kept clean to maintain this insulating layer between the water and their skin.

Article B

In the 1800s, sea otters were hunted for their fur. The fur trade between North America and Europe was booming, and sea otter fur was a popular option because of its thickness. By the mid-20th century, sea otters had been hunted to near extinction. Only 1,000–2,000 sea otters were believed to be living in the wild in 1929. Many people thought the species would soon become extinct. However, due to conservation efforts during the second half of the 20th century, sea otter populations recovered. The strengthening of the numbers of sea otters in the wild is often considered to be one of the greatest successes in marine conservation.

Read the stanza from Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.
But soon he knew himself the most unfit
Of men to herd with man; with whom he held
Little in common; untaught to submit
His thoughts to others, though his soul was quelled
In youth by his own thoughts; still uncompelled,
He would not yield dominion of his mind
To spirits against whom his own rebelled;
Proud though in desolation; which could find
A life within itself, to breathe without mankind.

Read the short story.

One afternoon, Billy's father decided it was time to teach his young son how to ride a bicycle. The two headed out to the driveway after lunch. Billy's father removed Billy's training wheels and made sure the boy's helmet was fastened tightly. Then he held the bike while Billy tried to balance. Billy tried to balance and pedal at the same time. He just couldn't seem to get it. By one o'clock, Billy had two skinned knees and a bruised elbow.

Which conclusion would readers find most engaging?

After a few more tries, Billy's father gives up. He drags the old, red wagon out of the garage and pulls Billy up and down the driveway instead.

On Billy's last attempt, he crashes into a nearby tree, falls off his bike, and breaks his arm. Billy and his father spend the rest of the day in the hospital.

Billy's brother sees what is going on from his bedroom window. He heads outside and gives Billy a tip about keeping his chin up. Soon, Billy is riding with ease.

Billy gets frustrated and starts to cry. He pushes his bike down on the lawn and throws his helmet off. Then he tells his father that he doesn't want to learn how to ride a bike.

That makes walking a simple activity for those new to exercise. Walking is less likely than other exercises to cause injury to leg tendons and muscles.
