"Consumers are fickle, so companies will go to great lengths to keep their interest and attract new customers. One example is the recent trend of “rebranding,” or corporations changing their name or look in an attempt to seem new and interesting. This is an expensive gamble. Do it right and a company gets positive buzz and a bump in the bottom line. Do it wrong, and a company becomes a laughingstock with a lot of former customers looking elsewhere.
"One example of rebranding is Dunkin’ Donuts changing its name to Dunkin’. Marketing experts think this is likely to go over well. It retains most of the familiar name, while shifting focus to the company’s most profitable product, coffee. It feels customer friendly. As the CEO says, 'Friends use first names.'
"In contrast, Weight Watchers’ decision to rename itself WW seems destined for disaster. What is WW supposed to mean, anyway? Something about wellness apparently, but it’s not very catchy and may just remind people of the World Wars. Marketers also note that WW is awkward to say out loud which will make it harder to promote."
Which sentence below is a minor supporting detail of the reading?

Read the excerpt from a creative nonfiction assignment.
The dog trotted behind me as I hiked through the woods.
A dog is a loyal companion, I thought to myself, even
when the person it's loyal to is a total stranger. Up
ahead, I saw my old friend, Lake Tasika. I looked at the
dog. He looked at me, tail waving. I looked at the lake. It
looked back at me. "Jump in," it said in cool laps against
the bank, though I'd never jumped in before. "Why not?" I
said aloud to the dog. The dog barked his affirmation,
though I was no expert on the meaning behind dog
barks. I dropped my pack and ran.
How does the author's use of parallelism contribute to
the mood of the excerpt?
O It creates an eager mood by repeating actions taken
and observed by the narrator.
O It creates an annoyed mood by showing how the
narrator views the dog as a nuisance.
O It creates a serene mood by emphasizing the solace
and joy the lake provides to the narrator.
O It creates a lonely mood by imitating an echo
sometimes found near a remote mountain lake.

Read the passage from "Children of the Wartime Evacuation.”

It was codenamed Operation Pied Piper. Who on earth came up with that name? Not a mother, that is certain. After all, the piper leads the children of Hamelin away from the town, never to return. Over the six years of the war, more than two million children were sent away from their family homes. Most returned, but how they had changed and how the separation affected their relationships with their families is seldom considered.
