It was the murmur of their voices, the back-and-forth, the unnoticed stretching away of time between my bedtime and theirs, that made me bask there at my distance. What I felt was not that I was excluded from them but that I was included, in – and because of – what I could hear in their voices and what I could see of their faces in the cone of yellow light under the brown-scorched shade.

"And this," cried Darcy, as he walked with quick steps across the room, "is your opinion of me! This is the estimation in which you hold me! I thank you for explaining it so fully. My faults, according to this calculation, are heavy indeed! But perhaps," added he, stopping in his walk, and turning towards her, "these offences might have been overlooked, had not your pride been hurt by my honest confession of the scruples that had long prevented my forming any serious design. These bitter accusations might have been suppressed, had I with greater policy concealed my struggles, and flattered you into the belief of my being impelled by unqualified, unalloyed inclination; by reason, by reflection, by every thing. But disguise of every sort is my abhorrence. Nor am I ashamed of the feelings I related. They were natural and just. Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your connections? To congratulate myself on the hope of relations, whose condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own?"

Mateo has written this paragraph about the availability of flavored milk in schools. Which sentence needs more supporting details to help readers better understand it?

Offering students chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and other sweetened milk beverages could be more harmful than helpful. If students consume more milk because they have more flavor choices, they will also consume more sugar. Some experts believe that students are less attentive in class and distracted because of the sugar rush that comes from drinking sweetened beverages. Furthermore, sugar consumption blocks the ability for calcium absorption to take place, which defeats the purpose of drinking milk to begin with—for the health benefits.

Select the correct text in the passage.
Which sentence from the passage best reflects the author’s claim?
Adopt a Pet

Owning a Pet
Pets are loyal companions and can benefit their owners in a number of ways. Apart from being a companion and playmate, a pet brings joy and relaxation to its owner. Hillary Johnson, a renowned psychologist, in her article "A Pet is the Best Medicine," states that a pet can benefit its owner both emotionally and psychologically. She says that pets have the ability to reduce anxiety and contribute to the overall well-being of their owners.
Animal Shelters and Rescue Organizations
In the United States, thousands of animals, especially dogs and cats, end up in animal shelters every year, and the numbers are increasing every day, because most people prefer buying pets from breeders to adopting from shelters or rescue organizations. Animal shelters are full of pets who are either lost or have been abandoned by their owners. Even though shelters and rescue organizations provide care for animals, the animals crave love and are in desperate need of a home and a family.
Adopting Pets Saves Money and Time
Adopting a pet from an animal shelter is cheaper, or sometimes free, as opposed to buying one from a pet shop. Most animal shelters contain pets that have already been vaccinated and house trained. Pets that have lost their homes in the past are usually aware of the basic commands and do not require extensive training. Moreover, there are organizations like the Shelter Pet Project that focuses mainly on promoting animal adoption and provides pets of various breeds. This gives a person the liberty to adopt a pet of any age, color, or breed.
Supporting Nonprofit Organizations
Many rescue groups and animal shelters are nonprofit organizations. Adopting a pet from such an organization means supporting a good cause. Adopting a pet would create space for other animals that need shelter, and the money that the organizations receive from adoptions could be utilized in taking good care of the animals that are kept in shelters.
Adopting Brings Happiness
Adopting a pet means helping an animal that is in desperate need of a home. The pride and joy that a person gets from adopting a pet is one of a kind. All animals require love and care, and adopted pets are no different. Adopting a pet means saving an animal and gaining a friend.
