Read the two sentences from the section "CON: Binge-watching leads to mental-health issues."

A University of Texas study found that binge-watchers were more likely to be depressed, lonely and have less self-control than those who do not binge-watch.

Another study found that, rather than relieving stress, binge-watching actually worsened stressful feelings like regret, guilt and personal failure, because of a sense of wasted time and inactivity.

How do these sentences develop the debate about binge-watching in the article?


A)The sentences provide firsthand testimony to support the idea that binge-watching is harmful to viewers' social and emotional health.

B)Both sentences directly contradict earlier claims about the possible social and emotional benefits of binge-watching.

C)The sentences illustrate the contradictory emotions that binge-watching often causes in those who do it frequently.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin.

Young had learned to read before he was two, and by the age of twenty had mastered a dozen foreign languages including Arabic, Persian, and Turkish. An inheritance from an uncle left him free to pursue his scientific interests. At various times, Young studied the habits of spiders, the surface features of the moon, and diseases of the chest. Then, intrigued by the challenge of the Rosetta Stone, he put aside his other studies and concentrated on attempting to decipher the writing on it. Young had read of de Sacy’s and Akerblad’s work in Paris, and was determined to succeed where they had failed.

The details in this excerpt hint that Giblin has a

positive attitude toward Young’s passion for learning.
positive attitude toward learning new languages.
a negative attitude toward Young’s lack of focus.
a negative attitude toward living off an inheritance.

Good authors choose their words very carefully. Take a few minutes to write a short paragraph describing an experience you have recently had. Pick a location you went to or an event you attended. Once you have finished, read over what you have written. Now, write a second paragraph. In it, you will repeat the information from the first paragraph, but you will choose your words more carefully. Ask yourself questions like: What words capture this image exactly? What is the best word to convey how something looked, or how I felt? Take more time with the second paragraph. Your response should be at least 150 words in total.

Read this excerpt from Dean Kamen's "On Becoming an Inventor."

I had just finished making a complicated piece of equipment that was to be used for a show opening in Philadelphia called "Fiorello." When the machine arrived they had trouble wiring it, so instead of going off to college that morning for orientation, I spent several days at the theatre fixing my light/sound equipment. The show received poor reviews, except for the mention by one reviewer of the "special effects," which, he wrote, were "outstanding."

How do writing shape readers' impressions?

Kamen's opinion seems to be that machines are more important than anything else. He supports this with an example of his work on a machine for a show in Philadelphia. His tone is formal and directed at a scholarly audience.

Kamen’s opinion seems to be that hard work can overcome any obstacles. He supports this with an example of hard work on a light machine. His tone is humorous and directed at a young audience.

Kamen’s opinion seems to be that his inventions are more important to him than other activities. He supports this by sharing an example of skipping college orientation to fix sound equipment. His tone is informal and directed at a general audience.

Kamen's opinion seems to be that special effects can make a show outstanding. He supports this with an example of his own special effects machine. His tone is formal and directed at a scientific audience.

What you need to do is find confide to another person. Don’t worry it can be scary to tell people about the things that you kept so hard to yourself but believe me it’s the best to talk it out to somebody. Find a person who you can share your thoughts too and make a connection to have trust into that other person. I suggest you focus more on your feelings. Try not to have intrusive thoughts that comes up in your mind to prevent yourself from actually doing it.

If you are referring to self-harm, I would recommend finding an emotional therapist, talking to a school councilor, talking to your parents/siblings/close friends, or talking to a trusted adult. If you don't want to do any of these things, there are websites that you can use to talk to a specialist and get a little help. Also, think about the root of the problem: WHY are you harming yourself to begin with? Here are some sources that you can use: Planned Parenthood, TeensHealth. I hope you find success, and stay safe!

They use a measure available to them in the comfort of their TV studio. Luckily for the meteorologists, the barometric pressure is linearly related to the wind speed.Suppose scientists compared the wind speeds and barometric pressure readings of two severe storms over the Atlantic Ocean. For one of the storms, the barometric pressure was 1,000 mb (millibars), and the maximum wind speed was 100 kmh (kilometers per hour). The second had a barometric pressure of 960 mb and maximum wind speeds of 180 kmh. (a)Develop a rule that you could use to predict the wind speed given any barometric pressure.(b)Use your rule to predict the wind speed of a hurricane with a barometric pressure of 980 mb.
