Patrick lived in Emoryville, but every Saturday morning he rode two city buses to his uncle’s bookstore in Northview where he worked. He didn’t mind the commute because he loved his job. He loved spending time with his uncle, but he also loved going to work because he had become friends with Andrew, one of his co-workers. The boys would talk about everything from baseball scores to movies to favorite pizza toppings.

So this Saturday, when Patrick got to work, he and Andrew got to talking as they always did.

“Hey, Pat,” Andrew said casually.

“Hey,” said Patrick. “Did you have a good week?”

“Yeah,” he said. “Great week. My basketball team made it into the semifinals. The game is tonight. We’re playing Emoryville, our nemesis.”

Before Patrick could say another word, Andrew continued. “I don’t like Emoryville. I don’t think I could ever be friends with someone from that town. Our schools are such rivals.”

Patrick was speechless.

“Where are you from, Pat? I can’t believe I’ve never asked you that before!”

Patrick fumbled over his words. “Not too far from here,” he said before he quickly changed the subject to the new shipment of graphic novels.

Before a star is a star, it is an enormous cloud of gases. At the start, wisps of gas and drifts of dust collect, their gravity drawing them together. As more stuff gathers, its combined gravitation grows stronger. Eventually the cloud pulls itself into a massive ball of material.

Marianne Moore’s “Poetry” is written in defense of poetry. In the excerpts, which three lines or phrases reflect Moore’s opinion of what good poetry should be? . . . to discriminate against "business documents and school-books"; all these phenomena are important. One must make a distinction however: when dragged into prominence by half poets, the result is not poetry, nor till the poets among us can be "literalists of the imagination" —above insolence and triviality and can present for inspection, "imaginary gardens with real toads in them," shall we have it. In the meantime, if you demand on the one hand, the raw material of poetry in all its rawness and that which is on the other hand genuine, you are interested in poetry.

I think River Elementary School needs a recycling program so that we can help keep the earth clean. Many other schools have recycling programs. The students in those schools collect used paper and empty drink containers and send them to recycling centers. Recycling centers use the old paper to make new paper. They use the old containers to make new containers and other products. We need a recycling program like this at our school. 2Students and teachers throw away a lot of used paper, and it mostly ends up in the earth. If we had a used-paper collection box in each classroom near the trash bin, students and teachers could put their used paper into the collection box instead of throwing it away. Then we could send this used paper to a recycling center. If we did this, less paper would go into the earth. 3Some people do not think that recycling paper is important. Paper falls apart easily and becomes part of the earth quickly after it is buried. For this reason, some people do not think that throwing away paper is harmful. But what they forget is that trees are used to make paper. In fact, every person uses about two trees’ worth of paper each year! Trees are so important to nature. They help keep the air clean. Plus, many animals make their homes in trees. By recycling paper instead of throwing it away, we can make the world a better place. 4Many drink containers are made of foil, metal, or plastic. These materials are harmful to the earth because they do not break apart when they are buried. If we collected empty drink containers at our school and recycled them, they wouldn't harm the earth. We can even hold contests to see which class can collect the most drink containers. That will make our recycling program fun. Some companies might even give our school money for the containers we collect. We could use this money to buy equipment or supplies. Recycling can help our school and the earth at the same time! 5 Please help to start a recycling program. To start a program, we need help from the school principal, the janitor, and our parents. Each classroom in the school needs a used-paper collection box. We can make these ourselves out of empty cardboard boxes. We can use garbage cans with clear bags to collect empty drink containers in the lunchroom. We can make posters to show people where to put the used paper and empty containers. We students care about the earth, and want to keep it clean. We need a recycling program to do this—and we all need to pitch in to start one!

Which of these arguments opposes the text's argument using a straw man fallacy? Use the table given. A) School sports programs will end if the school's money goes to a recycling program. B) Recycling is not going to keep the Earth clean because people will always have trash. C) Gillian White does not know enough about recycling programs to write anything about it. D) If we start recycling, kids will not have time to eat, and they will fail all their tests.

His three listeners leaned forward eagerly. The visitor absentmindedly put his empty glass to his lips and then set it down again. His host filled it for him. "To look at," said the sergeant-major, fumbling in his pocket, "it's just an ordinary little paw, dried to a mummy."

He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously.

"And what is there special about it?" inquired Mr. White, as he took it from his son and, having examined it, placed it upon the table.

"It had a spell put on it by an old fakir [definition: a Muslim or Hindu religious person who is often thought to be able to perform magic]," said the sergeant-major, "a very holy man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it."
