Her foot slipped, and in another moment, splash! she was up to her chin in salt-water. Her first idea was that she had somehow fallen into the sea. However, she soon made out that she was in the pool of tears which she had wept when she was nine feet high.

Just then she heard something splashing about in the pool a little way off, and she swam nearer to see what it was: she soon made out that it was only a mouse that had slipped in like herself.

Read the excerpt from A Short Walk Around the Pyramids and through the World of Art.

This piece of sculpture is very different from ancient Greek carving, though it, too, is part of an old religious tradition. It is made of hard wood covered with small plates of brass and copper and comes from Gabon, a West African country that straddles the equator. It was made by the Kota, a group of tribes who worship in similar ways, and who have made figures such as this for a hundred years, and probably much longer.

Which text feature would best strengthen the reader's understanding of the text?

a photograph of the West African sculpture
a map of the countries in West Africa
a sidebar about the West African tribe
a table comparing Greek and West African sculpture

Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn.

Fourteen years ago a city of 400,000 people on this side of the river heard of a projected suspension bridge with incredulity. The span was so long, the height so great, and the enterprise likely to be so costly, that few thought of it as something begun in earnest. The irresistible demands of commerce enforced these hard conditions. But Science said, "It is possible," and Courage said, "It shall be!" To-day a city of 600,000 people welcomes with enthusiasm the wonderful creation of genius. Graceful, and yet majestic, it clings to the land like a thing that has taken root. Beautiful as a vision of fairyland it salutes our sight. The impression it makes upon the visitor is one of astonishment, an astonishment that grows with every visit. No one who has been upon it can ever forget it. This great structure cannot be confined to the limits of local pride. The glory of it belongs to the race. Not one shall see it and not feel prouder to be a man.

Which detail from the excerpt is important to the central idea?

400,000 people . . .
on this side of the river . . .
The span was so long . . .
cannot be confined . . .

Developing Robot Brains
Scientists have been working on how to build robot brains that develop in the same way as human brains. In the past, scientists have tried to copy human brains exactly. The trouble is, there is still so much that scientists do not know about how human brains work. But a group of scientists at Michigan State University have developed a new plan. They are using nature as an example to follow for robots. We know that things change and adapt in nature. These scientists want to make robots that can change and adapt, too. The robots would learn to do tasks over time. The goal is to have robots with brains that develop like human brains do, over many years.One task this team of scientists worked on was to get robots to enter and exit a room. This action is easy for humans to complete, but not for robots. The scientists used a math equation to program the robots on this task. They created a program where the robots had to work on the task in connection with other robots. The robots watched each other and took on special roles for the task. This made them more successful. Then, the robot brains that worked the best on a task were the models used for future brains. This is very much like what happens in nature. A characteristic that works well for an animal gets passed on to its babies.Overall, this group of scientists thinks that following what happens in nature is the key to creating robots that can think like humans. The robot brains will start young, like humans. Robots will learn and explore for many years. Then they will develop higher intelligence and understanding. This is very much like how human brains develop!

Problem Solving with Peanuts and Sweet Potatoes
For years, farmers in Alabama grew cotton and nothing else. As a result, farmers had damaged fields that could no longer cultivate crops. The fields broke down from planting the same thing year after year. Then, in 1914, a pest called a boll weevil destroyed crops. The solution to this problem came from George Washington Carver, an African-American scientist and inventor. He discovered that the soil in Alabama grew peanuts and sweet potatoes well. Carver suggested that farmers grow peanuts and sweet potatoes to help the soil.


This plan worked. Farms began producing peanuts and sweet potatoes. However, not many people bought these foods. Farmers struggled to earn a living. Carver responded to this situation with more research. He wanted farmers to keep planting these crops. He experimented and made products from peanuts and sweet potatoes. Carver made 300 other things from peanuts, such as flour, milk, ink, and dye. He made about 100 products from sweet potatoes, including glue and ink. By 1940, peanuts became the second leading crop to make money in the South. Carver changed how cotton was grown and made many other crops important to the South.

Is this a good body paragraph I wrote? Should I add more to it or is there anything wrong with it? Please tell me!

Body paragraph- Along with educational wise, therapeutic has impacted society significantly. Video games have helped people with ADHD in such a great way. As stated in (source) it says "Playing games helps ADHD patients to keep their minds focused on a task." This is showing that people with ADHD use video games to be able to stay enthralled on one task at a time because video games are able to capture someones ability to stay determined on the video game to beat the game. ADHD is a chronic condition including attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Meaning people with ADHD struggle the most with staying focused on something wether that something is cleaning, cooking, or anything for that matter but video games are so easy to be addicted to it captures the full attention of somebody.

Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold
Her early leaf's a flower
But only so an hour
The leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.

Read this excerpt from Chapter II of Alice in Wonderland.

"Good-by, feet! Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I shall be a great deal too far off to trouble myself about you."

Just at this moment her head struck against the roof of the hall; in fact, she was now rather more than nine feet high, and she at once took up the little golden key and hurried off to the garden door.

Poor Alice! It was as much as she could do, lying down on one side, to look through into the garden with one eye; but to get through was more hopeless than ever. She sat down and began to cry again.

How does the author use opposites to illustrate how tall Alice is growing?

by mentioning Alice’s desire to enter the garden
by describing Alice’s head hitting the roof
by mentioning that Alice is crying
by describing Alice trying to find shoes that fit

Read the following excerpt from the article “Icebergs,” which was posted online by the United States Coast Guard. As you read, consider how some common words used in science texts have multiple meanings.

Much has been written about bottle-green icebergs that are sometimes seen in the Antarctic. Several mechanisms have been proposed, but the most likely explanation for the green color is the freezing of organic-rich seawater to the underwater part of the ice shelf from which the iceberg calved. The green ice is exposed after an iceberg breaks free of the shelf and rolls over.

What does the word shelf mean in this excerpt?

Group of answer choices

A)part of glacial ice

B)part of an iceberg

C)a green iceberg

D)part of the ocean
