"Esperanza, when I go to school next week, you will be here alone with the babies and will have to do the laundry." Esperanza took a deep breath and said weakly, "I can learn." "And later today, you must sweep the platform. You . . . you do know how to sweep?" "Of course," said Esperanza. She had seen people sweep many times. Many, many times, she assured herself.

Read this excerpt from "The Piñata"

My mother sent me to his home every day in the summer to keep him company. "He has no one," she'd say, "since your nana passed."
He never said much to me. He only gave gruff instructions in broken English and a complaint here and there about how I didn't know Spanish. It was my second summer with him, and I could see why he was always alone.

Why is the narrator telling this tale?

to criticize his family's business practices
to describe his relationship with his grandfather
to illustrate the differences between two cultures
to explain a summer employment experience

HURRY ITS TIMED Read the excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole by Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano.

Einstein's idea of gravity had big consequences. It helped explain some observations that Newton's idea didn't account for. It also opened our minds to amazing new possibilities. For example, taking his cue from Einstein's idea that space bends, scientist Karl Schwarzschild began to think about what would happen if a place in space were extremely distorted. His answer: light would follow the hyper-bent space, never to turn away from it. This was the first prediction of a black hole. At first, some scientists (including Einstein!) rejected Schwarzschild's ideas. Others were intrigued and began searching the skies for real black holes. Just decades later, they found the first of them. It just goes to show: sometimes, as Einstein himself once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

According to the excerpt, how does Karl Schwarzschild use Einstein’s ideas to draw a conclusion?

Karl Schwarzschild uses Einstein’s ideas about gravity to conclude that Newton’s ideas had faults.
Karl Schwarzschild uses Einstein’s ideas about gravity to conclude that space bends.
Karl Schwarzschild uses Einstein’s ideas about space bending to conclude that black holes are possible.
Karl Schwarzschild uses Einstein’s ideas about imagination to conclude that it is more important than knowledge.

In addition, the holes and tunnels make walking treacherous for livestock and humans. Moles often push soil and rocks to the surface. This can damage farm equipment used to work crops. In addition, these rocks and the holes can be hazards for cattle or other farm animals that may trip on them.

Because the SnapShot computer application boasts such high numbers of users, I believe our school should allow our teachers to teach lessons using this widely loved photo app.

Conclusion paragraph:
Each afternoon outside of the school walls, my friends and I use SnapShot to create meaningful art, so using the app in the classroom would allow us to combine our SnapShot skills with learning. As stated earlier, students will be more enthusiastic about math or science lessons when using a popular computer application to complete projects or homework. Because our school recently added a computer lab, all students would have easy access to the application. Yes, SnapShot should be used in our school.

Read the passage.

Almost everyone knows “Taps,” the haunting melody played by a military bugler at military and memorial services. This tune has twenty-four solemn notes, one for each hour of the day, and all the notes are part of a single chord.

“Taps” had its beginnings in Europe. It . . . functioned as a kind of curfew call. It warned [soldiers who were late returning to their barracks] that they had only a short time to return to base. Troops who were roaming at liberty needed to report to their officers, or they would be disciplined.

One evening during the Civil War, General Daniel Butterfield, a Union officer, fondly and sympathetically recalled the French tune. Somehow, “Taps” had crossed the ocean. Butterfield made his speech to his comrades, asking those in the group that the melody be played each evening at sundown instead of a bugle named “Extinguish the Lights.” The tune soon spread to the Confederate army, and it was even played at the funeral of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson.

These days, “Taps” no longer symbolizes a curfew call. Instead, it functions as a solemn farewell. When its twenty-four notes ring out at a state occasion, mellow and true, they often bring tears to the eyes of the spectators in attendance.
What best describes the type of organizational structure used in this passage?
