Read this excerpt from The Miracle Worker.

ANAGNOS: . . . It will no doubt be difficult for you there, Annie. But it has been difficult for you at our school too, hm? Gratifying, yes, when you came to us and could not spell your name, to accomplish so much here in a few years, but always an Irish battle. For independence.

(He studies ANNIE, humorously; she does not open her eyes.)

This is my last time to counsel you, Annie, and you do lack some – by some I mean all – what, tact or talent to bend. To others. And what had saved you on more than one occasion here at Perkins is that there was nowhere to expel you to. Your eyes hurt?

ANNIE: My ears, Mr. Anagnos.

(And now she has opened her eyes; they are inflamed. Vague, slightly crossed, clouded by the granular growth of trachoma, and she often keeps them closed to shut out the pain of light.)

ANAGNOS [SEVERELY]: Nowhere but back to Tewksbury, where children learn to be saucy. Annie, I know how dreadful it was there, but that battle is dead and done with, why not let it stay buried?

Which of these statements provides the best summary of the scene?

Anagnos notices that Annie’s eyes are closed, and he discusses her life in Tewksbury and her time at Perkins.

Anagnos praises Annie’s work at Perkins and mentions her previous time in Tewksbury, a town on the Ipswich River.

Anagnos is cruel as he expresses doubts about Annie’s ability to leave Perkins and begin teaching.

Anagnos describes Annie’s progress at Perkins and her strong will, and he expresses concerns about her attitude. Thanks!!!

Anagnos praises Annie’s work at Perkins and mentions her previous time in Tewksbury, a town on the Ipswich River.

Passage 1:
I fully support the school's efforts to introduce healthier snacks in
vending machines. However, as a dentist, I must object to gummy,
sticky fruit snacks. I have seen too many young patients suffer cavities
as a result of sugary snacks that stay stuck in their teeth for hours
before they brush.
Passage 2:
Studies have shown that our students are choosing fewer and fewer
fresh fruits at school. One way to slip in some much-needed nutrients
and vitamins is through gummy fruit snacks made from real fruit juice.
Students feel as if they are getting a sweet treat, while parents know
they are receiving at least some percentage of their recommended
daily servings of fruit.

1.)You might think that staying safe during the eruption of a volcano is just a matter of hiding under a table and hoping your house doesn't catch on fire. Nothing could be further from the truth. Surviving a volcanic eruption is a matter of understanding how volcanoes most commonly affect people, being prepared, and following some easy guidelines.

2.)Volcanic activity may be scary, but it is the result of simple and very natural geological processes. Volcanoes are holes in the Earth's crust where substances from beneath the surface, such as hot gases and molten rock, can escape. "You can think of a volcano as a paper cut or a pimple on the Earth," says volcanologist Roberta Alvarez. "They're usually not a big deal on the scale of the whole planet, but they're a big deal to us." Sometimes these eruptions can be small and ongoing, such as the Mt. Kilauea eruption in Hawaii that has been occurring since 1983. Other times, as was the case with Mt. St. Helens in Oregon, the eruptions are abrupt and violent. When the lava and ash emitted from a volcano cool and harden, they gradually form mountains.

3.)If you're wondering whether or not you live near one of these mountains, you're in luck. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) keeps track of active volcanoes all around the Ring of Fire, which is the area of high volcanic activity that forms the border of the Pacific Ocean. Some of the most worrisome volcanoes in the United States are Mt. Kilauea in Hawaii and Mt. Shishaldin in Alaska. The USGS records many other at-risk locations as well, so you can find out how risky your location is with just a little research.

4.)If you're one of the people who lives near a volcano, you should be aware of several dangers that these forces of nature present. The most dramatic danger is molten lava that flows down the sides of the mountains. "Although lava moves slowly enough for most people to escape from it on foot," says Alvarez, "it's a precursor to a much more dangerous threat: wildfires." Volcanoes also tend to spew huge amounts of ash into the atmosphere, which can affect areas hundreds of miles away from the eruption and can make breathing difficult for babies and people with lung problems, according to the National Asthma Society (NAS). The ash can also be so thick that it buries houses.

5.) If you live near an active volcano, your best chance of surviving an eruption is to be prepared. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, recommends that families maintain an emergency supply kit with first aid and day-to-day essentials. Families should also create a plan to gather in an agreed-upon location if phone or Internet service is down. Once you account for everyone in your family, follow the designated evacuation route to get away from the volcano quickly and carefully.

6.) In other words, stay calm and be prepared. Advice that would be suited to practically any disaster will help you weather a volcanic eruption as well. All you need is a little understanding, a little planning, and a little patience, and you should come out all right.

GIVE ME LIBERTY
The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia
Thomas J. Wertenbaker

Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

What of the following best summarizes the main point of including information about the earlier colony of Sir Walter Raleigh?

To introduce one source of the settlers' fears
To imply the new settlers would succeed
To suggest causes of the earlier failures
To create conflict for the new colonists

Which of the following sentences is best written?
