Read the excerpt below, then answer the question. One day in spring four men were riding on horseback along a country road. These men were lawyers, and they were going to the next town to attend court. There had been a rain, and the ground was very soft. Water was dripping from the trees, and the grass was wet. The four lawyers rode along, one behind another; for the pathway was narrow, and the mud on each side of it was deep. They rode slowly, and talked and laughed and were very jolly. As they were passing through a grove of small trees, they heard a great fluttering over their heads and a feeble chirping in the grass by the roadside. "Stith! stith! stith!" came from the leafy branches above them. "Cheep! cheep! cheep!" came from the wet grass. "What is the matter here?" asked the first lawyer, whose name was Speed. "Oh, it's only some old robins!" said the second lawyer, whose name was Hardin. "The storm has blown two of the little ones out of the nest. They are too young to fly, and the mother bird is making a great fuss about it.” "What a pity! They'll die down there in the grass," said the third lawyer, whose name I forget. "Oh, well! They're nothing but birds," said Mr. Hardin. "Why should we bother?" "Yes, why should we?" said Mr. Speed. Where does the story take place? What additional information is provided by the location? Your answer should be 3 to 4 sentences.

Answer:

Where does the story take place?  They seem to be walking through the woods due to being under the trees where they hear the birds.  It also seems to take place before there were cars due to the fact that they are lawyers and they are riding horses.  It is also interesting to note that they were going into the next town - riding horses.....

3. Chuck really wanted to get the new Game Box 9000, but the system cost $400 and he didn't have any money at all. So, Chuck did what any motivated teenager would do to earn money: lots and lots of work. He mowed lawns and raked leaves. He did extra chores and dug in the couch cushions for change. He collected and returned cans and bottles. After about a month of working and scrounging harder than he ever had, Chuck earned a little over $200, but the money was not coming quickly enough. Chuck was discussing his problem with one of his friends on the bus when an older kid named Jim overheard him. "Hey, Chucky," Jim said, "my uncle works at the video game store and he can get any video game system for half off. I can help you get your Game Box 9000." Chuck was so excited about getting the new Game Box that he didn't think twice. "Wow, half off? Then I can afford it!" Chuck was excited! The next day. he gave Jim his money. The following day he hoped to receive the Game Box, but Jim didn't bring it. "Yeah, I'm not going to see him until this weekend," Jim replied. Chuck remembered Jim promising him something else, but he was so happy to get such a great deal on the game console that he didn't want to push him. "Ok, great. Next week then." The week passed by very slowly for Chuck. He was so happy to see Jim the next week. He ran up to him with a big smile, but Jim didn't look happy. "Did you get it?" Chuck asked. Jim replied slowly, "Uh, yeah, I was going to get it, but I got robbed. So, your money's gone. I'm sorry." Chuck couldn't believe it. A whole month of saving down the drain. The tears ran down his cheeks.

People use distractions all the time. Whether it's a soothing song in the background of morning traffic or whether it's going to a movie to escape the ordinary feeling of the workweek, distractions are everywhere. But what happens when distractions become obsessions?

Many young people play video games as a way to distract or entertain themselves. However, many young people also become obsessed with video games. Young people need to be more responsible with their time and how they spend it. Playing video games is harmless until it becomes an addiction. Then, like anything else in excess, the distraction turns into the focal point of one's life.

According to 11th Annual MediaWise Video Game Report Card, "The majority of gamers between 6 and 18 years of age spend more than 20 hours a week playing video games. 40% of those say they play more than 30 hours a week gaming." That is an incredible number. This means that many young people who play video games spend as much time gaming as others spend at a part-time job.

Also, many gamers play indoors. Consider the statistic from 11th Annual MediaWise Video Game Report Card. This means that the majority of the people who play games play indoors. They rarely do any outside activities, including exercise.

In addition, most gamers who play video games play alone by themselves. When they do play games with others, it's usually done online because it's convenient. While they may interact with other gamers, rarely do they get to socialize with everyday people.

Not everyone who plays video games is compulsive. Many just play as a diversion. It's important for people to know that a diversion is just that, a temporary distraction. It isn't a career, it isn't family, and it isn't permanent.




What sentence could be added to persuade the audience that too much gaming is harmful?

B.

Dino was thinking about his girlfriend Dina when he saw a pack of wild lizards and animals running through the plains in a frenzy. Dino tried to ask the critters why they were running, but they just kept running. Dino scratched his dinosaur head and continued walking toward the watering hole. Soon after, Dino heard a loud thumping noise like the slow beat of a drum. The earth shook and fruit fell from the trees, but Dino was so deep in thought over his girl Dina that he didn't even notice. The thumping grew louder and louder as Timmy the Tyrannosaurus Rex approached Dino. Dino kept thinking about his girl Dina until the moment Timmy ate him.
