Dominic was balancing on the fence. No matter how many times he fell off or got hurt, he never learned his lesson. Last spring, he'd sprained his left ankle. Last fall, he'd fractured his right wrist. One summer, he'd spent six weeks with a cast on his leg. He just never learned.
His older sister, Sophia, was watching from the porch. She knew that Mom would come out any second and say, "Dominic Salvatore Mazzello, you come in this house immediately."
"Hey, Sophia, watch what I can do!" Dominic yelled from the fence.
He got up on his toes like a gymnast on a balance beam and stretched toward the sky.
"You're going to fall!" Sophia shouted back.
"Oh, I am not! You're just jealous because I can do this and you can't."
Dominic reached higher and higher. Suddenly, his right foot slipped. Then, his left foot slipped. Sophia saw her brother falling, falling, falling. . . .
As Dominic neared the ground, Sophia leaped from the porch, dashed to the fence, and caught her little brother in her arms.
"Nice catch, Wonder Woman," Mom called from the front porch. Sophia and Dominic both smiled. But Dominic stopped smiling as soon as Mom said, "Dominic Salvatore Mazzello, you come in this house immediately."

Why does Mom call Sophia "Wonder Woman"?
A.
because Dominic is always getting rescued
B.
because Dominic reads old comic books
C.
because Sophia resembles Wonder Woman
D.
because Sophia performs a heroic act

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Read the passage from “Councilman Proposes Water Ban.”

Our region has experienced a record drought this year. The water level in the local reservoir has dropped by several feet. To address this problem, Councilman Garcia is proposing a water ban this summer. The ban would limit how often people can water their yards. There are several ways this ban will be effective.

This passage would best be included as part of which section of the article?

the conclusion
the counterclaim
the introduction
the main body

My essay so far:

Why phony content is hazardous!
There is an immense sum of data on the cyberspace, although not all of it is accurate. Regrettably, social media users frequently cannot tell whether the content they look at is false or true. This commentary illuminates wherefore it is vital to fact-verify the information you see on the cyberspace.
There is an immense sum of information on the cyberspace, although not all of it is accurate. This is information from How trust Worthy is Social Media?, “So how do you tell truth from lies online? A group of researchers in Chile started analyzing news on Twitter after a devastating earthquake in Santiago in 2010. They learned that false tweets tend to include question marks or exclamation points. True tweets tend to be longer, include links, and come from users with more followers. If you’re unsure whether a post you’re seeing is true or not, check it out on snopes.com or factcheck.org.”
This means, most videos on the internet people are lying and this is how you can figure out if it is true or not. This also lets you know, if there are groups of people trying to expose people for lying on the internet, there must has to be a lot of influencers doing it too.
Therefore, you cannot trust all information on the internet. In Digital Detectives, it states, "In August 2017, while Texas was being rocked by Hurricane Harvey, an image was posted to Twitter. It looked like it had been taken from the driver’s seat of a car. Outside, the road was flooded, and there was a shark in the water. The post read: “Believe it or not, this is a shark on the freeway in Houston, Texas.” It was “liked” 142,000 times—but the photo wasn’t real. It was made with photo-editing software, and had first appeared online in 2011."
This means that she photoshopped this picture to look like there was a shark on the freeway for "likes," and "followers," although this was not real/false. This also shows/tells you to not listen to everything people post on the internet.
Credits to advanced video editing software, additional citizens than ever can be capable of making “deepfake” films that seem like actual tape of notorious individuals expressing things they have not once stated. My evidence here is from Fakeout, "Deepfakes are videos with visual or audio content that has been manipulated. They make it seem as if the video’s subject is saying words he or she has not actually spoken. In the past, videos like these could be made only by trained special-effects artists or video editors. Now, anyone with the time and the right tools can make a convincing deepfake."
The author of this is sarcastically says thanks to the people who created apps where you can create deepfakes, and put fake things on videos to make them seem like the person said it.

Could someone give me feedback and give me a conclusion paragraph?

PLEASE HELP ME, THERE ARE TWO PICTURES, ALSO IT CAN BE ANY BOOK AND NO LINKS

Ethan was playing with his dog, Tim, in the backyard, when Tim's eyes caught some movement in the bushes near the fence. Ethan slowly moved toward the bushes and was surprised to see a furry brown kitten hiding among them. Ethan picked up the kitten and went indoors, and inquisitive Tim, who was curious to know what Ethan had found, followed. Ethan fed the kitten some warm milk and placed it inside a cardboard box.
For the next few days, Ethan looked after the kitten with the utmost care, while Tim remained alert and carefully observed from a distance with his vigilant eyes. Initially, the kitten was quiet and seemed scared, and Tim, who did not look very pleased, kept sniffing around it. But within a couple of days, the kitten became friendly and playful, and Tim, too, seemed happy to have found a playmate.

Now try this tasty thought experiment. Say some friends far outside the black hole decide to send you a snack. If they launch a red apple your way, it’s invisible to you at first. But keep your eyes peeled! Eventually, the apple shifts from invisible to blue, then to green, yellow, orange, and finally red, as it passes through gravitational zones that are closer and closer to the same strength as yours.

Which type of graphical representation would best support a reader’s understanding of this excerpt?

someone watching an apple hurl through space
a picnic basket being launched into space
an apple made up of all the colors mentioned
a series of apples in each color mentioned
