People should consider the impact of drones before buying (and flying) one. Think about where you will fly your drone. There’s a difference between flying in close, tight civilization and the wide-open, vast wilderness. Also, some communities have laws regulating drone use. For example, Florida law requires recreational drones to be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Safety should always be of the utmost concern. Flying away from power lines and keeping a respectable distance from people and wildlife will ensure that no one (or no animal) is harmed should the drone operator mistakenly send it in the wrong direction. Drones of the twenty-first century are the Red Ryders of the 1940s. As this device becomes more

popular and common, people should take care to be responsible drone operators.

Which sentence is evidence in support of the claim that drone users should be responsible?


A“There’s a difference between flying in close, tight civilization and the wide-open, vast wilderness.”

B“For example, Florida law requires recreational drones to be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).”

C“Drones of the twenty-first century are the Red Ryders of the 1940s.”

D“As this device becomes more popular and common, people should take care to be responsible drone operators.”

Read the following scene from Trifles.
COUNTY ATTORNEY. Let's talk about that later, Mr. Hale. I do want to talk about that, but tell now just what
happened when you got to the house.
HALE. I didn't hear or see anything; I knocked at the door, and still it was all quiet inside. I knew they must be up,
it was past eight o'clock. So I knocked again, and I thought I heard somebody say, "Come in." I wasn't sure, I'm
not sure yet, but I opened the door-this door (indicating the door by which the two women are still standing),
and there in that rocker-(pointing to it) sat Mrs. Wright. (They all look at the rocker.)

The audience would not have to interpret the setting, which could make the conflict of the story more evident.
The audience would actually watch all of the characters turn to stare at the rocker, which could enhance the mood of
the scene.

Read the excerpt from Parvati's argument in favor of using cell phones in class.

Today's cell phones are not just phones; they are little computers. That means they are effective research tools. Students can use them to access dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other reference materials. They can search for articles, videos, and images. In my civics class, our teacher even held mock elections, and we voted using our cell phones.

What is the best evaluation of Parvati's evidence?

The laboring people hated Okies because a hungry man must
work, and if he must work, if he has to work, the wage payer
automatically gives him less for his work; and then no one can
get more.

(This is what i have so far, yeah i know its bad)

Whilst investigating the death of a local assassin, a brave student called Kurisu uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, golden kunai circulating throughout New York. As soon as anyone uses the kunai, he or she has exactly 8 weeks left to live.

The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look distorted. A marked person feels like a burning fire to touch.

Kurisu gets hold of the kunai, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into his mind: a bloody mask balancing on a assassin's face, an old newspaper headline about a gang accident, a hooded man ranting about bodys and a drinking well located in a hidden location in the woods.

When Kurisu notices his arms have fire-like properties, he realizes that the curse of the golden kunai is true and calls in his friend, a nurse called Alex, to help.

Alex examines the kunai and willingly submits herself to the curse. She finds that the same visions flash before her eyes. She finds the bloody mask balancing on an assassin's face particularly chilling. She joins the queue for a supernatural death.

Kurisu and Alex pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded man.


A few years later, Kurisu walked over to the window and reflected on his dark surroundings.

He had survived the curse and was now living in the forest next to the well. He had figured his friend Alex burned up in flames as he didn’t see her make it to drink from the well in time.

Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Alex. Kurisu gulped. He was not prepared for Alex.

As Kurisu stepped outside and Alex came closer, he could see the easy glint in her eye.

"I am here because I want you dead," Alex bellowed, in a giving tone. “You left me to die out there” she showed him a burn across her arms. “This is what that curse did to me” She slammed her fist against Kurisu's chest, with the force of 10 bulls. "But it made me stronger, Kurisu."

Kurisu looked back, even more shocked and still holding the gold kunai. "Alex, I don't want to hurt you," he replied.

They looked at each other with mixed feelings. While classical music played in the background, two angry and confused people were standing in the rain.

Kurisu regarded Alex's skinny limbs and burnt body. He held out his hand. "Let's not fight," he whispered, gently.

"Hmph," pondered Alex.

"Please?" begged Kurisu “I never meant to hurt you”. He showed her that he had a scar across his face from the golden blade.

Alex looked concerned, her body glistening in the morning rain like a bloody knife.

Then Kurisu led Alex inside for a nice glass of lemonade.

THE END

Who would be a turtle who could help it?
A barely mobile hard roll, a four-oared helmet,
she can ill afford the chances she must take
in rowing toward the grasses that she eats.
Her track is graceless, like dragging
a packing-case places, and almost any slope
defeats her modest hopes. Even being practical,
she's often stuck up to the axle on her way
to something edible. With everything optimal,
she skirts the ditch which would convert
her shell into a serving dish. She lives
below luck-level, never imagining some lottery
will change her load of pottery to wings.
Her only levity is patience,
the sport of truly chastened things.
-Kay Ryan, "Turtle"
Which words from the poem are an example of a simile?
A. the sport of truly chastened things
B. she can ill afford the chances she must take
