Read the following excerpt from a speech made by a national leader during
wartime:
It has been a difficult few weeks. Progress has been slow.
But there have been promising signs. I encourage you not
to look at what has been, but what is to come, because
with your dedication at home and our soldiers' dedication
in the field, things are beginning to turn around.
Which is one likely purpose of the speech, based on the excerpt above?
A. To persuade citizens to sacrifice more
B. To challenge citizens who oppose the war
C. To provide hope for citizens
D. To explain a difficult decision

C. To provide hope for the citizens.

The leader talks about encouragement and promising signs, also saying things are turning around. It isn't D as there is no decision needed to be made, not B as there is nothing boasting about the greatness of war, and not A, as it isn't persuading anyone to do more, it's just telling them not to lose hope.

Which details from this excerpt best show that the
author's purpose in including this paragraph is to
illustrate how hazardous the scientists' work is?
There she met Lieutenant Colonel Trotter, a stocky, dark-haired man whom
Nancy had worked with for many years. They put on their inner gloves and
taped their cuffs.
Nancy put a pair of hearing protectors over her ears. She had started
wearing them a while back, when people had begun to suspect that the roar
of air in your suit might be loud enough to damage your hearing.
They hauled on their space suits and sealed the Ziploc zippers. They edged
around each other as they fiddled with their suits.
People wearing biohazard space suits tend to step around one another like
two wrestlers at the beginning of a match, watching the other person's every
move, especially watching the hands to make sure they don't hold a sharp
object. This cringing becomes instinctive.

Read the passage from "What It Takes to Prepare for the Iditarod."


In earty winter, mushers begin accumulating the food and equipment that will be shipped ahead to each checkpoint of the race. Each musher ships a total about 3,000 pounds of food and supples. All of this comes at a price. Estimates of the cost for a musher to enter a team in the Iditarod range upwards of $50,000 for a winning team. In order to pay for this, most mushers solicit sponsors. It is probably the musher's least favorite job. "You can end up feeling like you're seling your soul for money," cited one competitor.

First question: Which best describes the tone of this passage?

- The tone is frustrated, because It is very expensive to race in the Iditarod.

- The tone is disappointed, because the mushers do not always get the money they need to race in the Iditarod.

- The tone is boring, because the information is not important for racing in the Iditarod.

- The tone is encouraging, because the mushers can rely on others to pay the costs of the Iditarod.


Second question: How does the idiom selling your soul contribute to the meaning of this passage?

-It shows that the mushers don't like having to rely on sponsors so they can race in the Iditarod

-It shows how time-consuming it is for the mushers to work with sponsors when they race in the Iditarod.

-It shows that the mushers work harder on finding sponsors, than on training to race in the Iditarod.

-it shows how difficult it is for the mushers to find sponsors to cover the costs of the racing in the Iditarod
