Read the excerpt from Walden.

Standing on the snow-covered plain, as if in a pasture amid the hills, I cut my way first through a foot of snow, and then a foot of ice, and open a window under my feet, where, kneeling to drink, I look down into the quiet parlor of the fishes, pervaded by a softened light as through a window of ground glass, with its bright sanded floor the same as in summer; there a perennial waveless serenity reigns as in the amber twilight sky, corresponding to the cool and even temperament of the inhabitants. Heaven is under our feet is well as over our heads.
Which best describes the purpose of the imagery in this excerpt?
to illustrate the author’s calm, contemplative mood
to encourage readers to study nature more closely
to share the author’s views on religion and the afterlife
to demonstrate the complexity of animal behavior

The purpose of the imagery in this excerpt is to illustrate the author’s calm, contemplative mood. Thus, option "A" is correct.

Since Walden is based on the author's personal experience which he decided to share, this book can be considered as a narrative essay.

In his book,  Henry David Thoreau represents all his life experiences and realizations that came up to him when he was living in natural surroundings.

In a narrative essay, the writer tells a story about a real-life experience, so I bet that Walden belongs to this kind.

. Thus, option "A" is correct.

Solar energy saves money on electric bills, and it also helps our power grid. On August 14, 2003, too many people were using electricity because it was a hot day. Suddenly, all the power went out across the Northeast United States and Canada, and 55 million people were suddenly in the dark! In New York City, people had to walk miles across bridges to get home because there were no trains or subways running. It was an expensive incident for the government and industry. But if we use more solar energy, we will put less pressure on the power grid. That means fewer blackouts.

What kind of evidence does the author use to support the claim that solar energy helps the power grid?

anecdotal
expert quotation
statistical
scientific

Read the third paragraph from the passage.

A common misunderstanding among Americans is about the amount of money NASA receives from the U.S. government. NASA's budget has accounted for 0.5 percent of the total U.S. federal budget. That amounts to roughly $10 of an annual personal income tax going toward the best space program in the world. NASA accounts for 40 times less than what the federal government spends on the Department of Defense. Unfortunately, programs such as Project Constellation, which promised to return American astronauts to the moon, and ExoMars, which was designed to look for evidence of life on Mars and eventually land humans on Mars, have been put on hold due to budget cuts.

The author uses this paragraph to develop which two claims?
All the nations should come together in order to help NASA raise the necessary funds.
Project Constellation and ExoMars have been deferred due to a shortage of funds.
Collaboration with Russia to build the International Space Station resulted in the depletion of funds.
The majority of the federal budget should be spent on NASA, as its work is more important than the Department of Defense.
The U.S. Department of Defense is the strongest in the world, as it uses the funds that should actually be used by NASA.
The amount of money spent on NASA is much less than the amount of money spent on the Department of Defense.

Conserving water has become a popular issue because many U.S. states are suffering a drought. Some lawmakers think that states should enforce a fine to those who use too much water. As the drought becomes worse, many believe that enforcing this penalty would best help conserve water.
Although water conservation is an important issue for everyone, fines for using water could mean the downfall of many businesses. The majority of businesses require a lot of water to operate. Without it, businesses may not operate properly. This would result in a loss of business. In particular, the restaurant industry might suffer. Restaurants rely on people to come in and buy their food. They also want to provide clean environments and drinking water for the diners. Should they be expected to pay fines in order to conduct business?
Some lawmakers say that conservation would not affect businesses if they used water-saving appliances. These machines can help conserve water. However, some of these water-efficient appliances are costly. Many businesses cannot afford the expense of replacing their equipment. As a result, they face a difficult situation that might lead them to shut down.
Enforcing water conservation with fines might cause more damage than good. Businesses might choose not to save water because paying fines would be cheaper than buying better appliances. These are points that lawmakers should consider before passing such a bill.

Today's cell phones are not just phones; they are little computers. That means they are effective research tools. Students can use them to access dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other reference materials. They can search for articles, videos, and images. In my civics class, our teacher even held mock elections, and we voted using our cell phones.
