Read this student's rough draft.

The holiday weekend driving had been slow, and Myra was cramped in the backseat with her little brothers. At least she had a window seat. She had read for 100 miles, a painfully slow three hours, and she needed a diversion. She looked out the window and watched the green mile markers slowly tick by. She saw signs for the Tri-Cities Beltway and wondered what they might encounter.

What sentence would best add descriptive details to the end of this paragraph?

A.) The Tri-Cities Beltway had been constructed to alleviate traffic for three cities, but the merge was always problematic.
B.) The car slowed to a snail’s pace, and the line of cars ahead stretched out of sight, with exhaust fumes looming overhead.
C.) Myra reached into the backseat cooler and found a sandwich and a soda her mother had packed.
D.) The Beltway was a direct path back to their town, and Myra’s family had only 35 miles left to travel.

Answer:

D. is the answer

Explanation:

This is because, it gives information to support the last sentence in the paragraph. If Myra sees signs for the Tri-Cities Beltway, they saying how many more miles Myra had to travel is relating to the same subject. Therefore, it makes the most sense.

Hope this helps! :)

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.
I like it very much, what about you? :D

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 . . .

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?

What does the following passage mainly reveal (paragraphs 8-9)?

Generating sections that don’t need a human-provided fuel supply would be in better shape. Geothermal plants, which are powered by the Earth’s internal heat, can run for some time without human intervention.

According to the maintenance manual for the Svartsengi Island geothermal plant in Iceland, every six months the operators must change the gearbox oil and regrease all electric motors and couplings. Without humans to perform these sorts of maintenance procedures, some plants might run for a few years, but they’d all succumb to corrosion eventually.

B. All lights would quickly go out if there were no human beings on Earth.

C. All power plants need maintenance.

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
