Select the correct text in the passage.

The news of the quest spread and afforded an interesting topic of conversation to many. From the neighborhood, it soon got into the papers throughout England. The boasted "tour of the world" was talked about, disputed, argued with much warmth and passion. Some took sides with Phileas Fogg, but the large majority shook their heads and declared against him. “It was absurd, impossible,” they declared, “that the tour of the world could be made.” The Times, Standard, Morning Post, and Daily News, and twenty other highly respectable newspapers labeled Mr. Fogg's project as ridiculous. The Daily Telegraph alone hesitatingly supported him. People in general thought he was foolish. Everything, it said, was against the travelers, every obstacle imposed alike by man and by nature.

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

Mr. Pilkington, of Foxwood, had stood up, his mug in his hand. In a moment, he said, he would ask the present company to drink a toast. But before doing so, there were a few words that he felt it incumbent upon him to say.

It was a source of great satisfaction to him, he said—and, he was sure, to all others present—to feel that a long period of mistrust and misunderstanding had now come to an end. There had been a time—not that he, or any of the present company, had shared such sentiments—but there had been a time when the respected proprietors of Animal Farm had been regarded, he would not say with hostility, but perhaps with a certain measure of misgiving, by their human neighbours. Unfortunate incidents had occurred, mistaken ideas had been current. It had been felt that the existence of a farm owned and operated by pigs was somehow abnormal and was liable to have an unsettling effect in the neighbourhood. Too many farmers had assumed, without due enquiry, that on such a farm a spirit of licence and indiscipline would prevail. They had been nervous about the effects upon their own animals, or even upon their human employees. But all such doubts were now dispelled. Today he and his friends had visited Animal Farm and inspected every inch of it with their own eyes, and what did they find? Not only the most up-to-date methods, but a discipline and an orderliness which should be an example to all farmers everywhere. He believed that he was right in saying that the lower animals on Animal Farm did more work and received less food than any animals in the county. Indeed, he and his fellow-visitors today had observed many features which they intended to introduce on their own farms immediately.

Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and the other farmers in town to show how dictatorial practices can be spread.
Orwell uses Mr. Pilkington to represent a new understanding between humans and animals that is beneficial for both.
Orwell uses Mr. Pilkington's speech to represent a modern way of farming that includes having farms run by animals.
Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and leaders of countries who overlooked Stalin's poor treatment of his people.

Sharks' Teeth
By Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

Their broken faces spun stories in our minds.

An independent clause contains a subject and verb, expresses a complete thought, and can stand on its own as a complete sentence.

A dependent clause contains a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought; it depends on being joined to an independent clause to form a complete sentence. Dependent clauses can often be recognized by a marker word at the beginning of the clause that signals a subordinate relationship with an independent clause.

Many sentence fragments are dependent clauses that have mistakenly been separated from the independent clauses they belong with.

Which of the following is an independent clause? Mark all that apply.
If you can work on Tuesdays.


While my aunt does the dishes.


Which is why we can't afford to go.


As though he was leading a high speed chase.


I don't have to go if I don't want to.
