What does Esperanza think is wrong with the barrio?

Answer:

Esperanza wants a nice suburban house with a garden, like the ones where her father works. On the weekends, the family visits these houses and dreams about moving there. Esperanza has stopped going with her family. She, too, would like to live in one of those houses, but she is tired of looking at what she cannot have. She imagines that when she owns one of these houses in the future, she will not forget where she is from. When bums pass her house she will invite them in and give them a place to live in her attic, because she knows, she says, “how it is to be without a house.” When people think that the squeaking in the attic is rats, she will shake her head and say it is bums.

Look at the excerpt of informational text. Which of the following is a heading?

What Causes Tides?
The daily rise and fall of Earth’s waters on its coastlines are called tides. As the tide comes in, the level of the water on the beach rises gradually. When the water reaches its highest point, it is high tide. Then the tide goes out, flowing back toward the sea. When the water reaches its lowest point, it is low tide. Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun.

Neap Tides In between spring tides, at the first and third quarters of the moon, the sun and moon pull at right angles to each other. This line-up produces a neap tide, a tide with the least difference between low and high tide. During a neap tide, the sun’s gravity pulls some of the water away from the tidal bulge facing the moon. This acts to “even out” the water level over Earth’s surface, reducing the difference between high and low tides.


A.) What Causes Tides?


B.) Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun.


C.) “even out”


D.) Neap Tides

And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our [descendants], but to the whole people – women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government – the ballot. Which fact supports Anthony's opinion that all adults should have the right to vote we, the whole people, who formed the Union. they are denied the use of the only means of securing them . . .

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?

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?
