Marshmallows
by Charles Onslow
S’mores would be nothing without a marshmallow. It keeps the graham crackers and the piece of chocolate together when it is toasted. A cup of cocoa would seem empty without marshmallows. So where does this gooey treat come from? Marshmallows were first used by the ancient Egyptians. They used the root of the marsh mallow plant to make honey candy. This candy was reserved for royalty and gods. The marsh mallow plant in the past was also used to soothe sore throats.
The marshmallow treat that is now found today is a little bit different. In the past, people used marsh mallow sap, sugar, and egg whites. Now, it is made of sugar or corn syrup, gelatin, cornstarch, and water. The addition of cornstarch helps speed up the process of making marshmallows. Although marshmallows have changed, they are still a delight to eat.
Tiesha is writing a paper about marshmallows. She has the following sentence in her paper.
A marshmallow consists of "sugar or corn syrup, gelatin, cornstarch, and water" (Onslow).
Why does she add quotation marks and the author's name to this sentence?
A.
to make sure that this sentence is said out loud by the teacher
B.
to highlight that this sentence is very important to the paper
C.

D.

Answer:

Excerpt from No Fear
Tracy Wilson
1) Austin reached into his backpack to make sure that it was there. He wasn’t sure he needed his inhaler, but he was checking just in case. His chest was tight as he once again attempted a deep breath. He completely filled his lungs and exhaled smoothly. He repeated this rhythm several times, surprised at the ease at which it came. But he’d keep the inhaler in his pocket. It had been a long time since he’d had a real asthma attack, since Little League, in fact. But it was never too far from his mind, especially when he played baseball.
2) Austin loved baseball, like fish love water, but he felt his asthma had probably kept him from reaching his full athletic potential. He knew today’s practice would be tough, for tomorrow was a big game. He was right. It was rough, and Austin and several others weren’t at the top of their game today. Coach Tanner firmly patted Austin’s shoulder as they headed for the dugout. “You’ve got to stop using it as a crutch, and let it go son.” Coach said in a firm, low voice.

What Asthma Is
1 Asthma is a disease that affects your lungs. It is the most common long-term disease of children. It causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing.
2 We know that family history contributes to susceptibility, but in most cases we don’t know what causes asthma to develop, and we don’t know how to cure asthma. You can control your asthma by knowing the warning signs of an attack, avoiding things that trigger an attack, and following the advice of your doctor.
Effects of Asthma
3 In 2001, 20.3 million Americans had asthma, and 12 million had had an asthma attack in the previous year. If a person has a parent with asthma, he or she is three to six times more likely to develop asthma than is a person who does not have a parent with asthma.
How Asthma Is Diagnosed
4 Asthma can be difficult to diagnose, especially in children under 5 years old. Regular physical exams that include checks of lung function and for allergies can help make the right diagnosis.
5 A health-care provider trying to diagnose asthma will ask you questions about coughing, especially coughing at night, and whether breathing problems are worse after physical activity or during a particular time of year. Providers also ask about other symptoms, such as chest tightness, wheezing, and colds that last more than 10 days.
6 Also, a provider will ask about your family history of asthma, allergy and other breathing problems, and your home environment. He or she also will ask about lost school or work days and limits on your activity.
7 Testing of lung function, called spirometry, is another way to diagnose asthma. A spirometer is a piece of equipment that measures the largest amount of air you can exhale after taking a very deep breath. Airflow can be measured before and after you use an asthma medication.
What An Asthma Attack Is
8 Airways are the paths that carry air to the lungs. As the air moves through the lungs, the airways become smaller, like branches of a tree. During an attack, the sides of the airways in your lungs become inflamed and swollen. Muscles around the airways tighten, and less air passes in and out of the lungs. Excess mucus forms in the airways, clogging them even more. The attack, also called an episode, can include coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, and trouble breathing.
Causes Of An Asthma Attack
9Environmental exposures, such as house dust mites and environmental tobacco smoke, are important triggers of an attack. Some of these triggers are listed in the box below.
How Asthma Is Treated
10 You can control your asthma and avoid an attack by taking your medicine as prescribed and avoiding the triggers that can cause an attack. It’s just as important that you remove the triggers in your environment that you know make your asthma worse.
11 Medicine for asthma is different for each person. It can be inhaled or taken as a pill and comes in two types—quick-relief and long-term control. Quick-relief medicines control the symptoms of an asthma attack. If you are using your quick-relief medicines more and more you should visit your health-care provider to change your asthma management plan. Long-term control medicines make you have fewer and milder attacks, but they don’t help you if you’re having an attack.
Important Asthma Triggers:
Dust Mites
12 Mattress covers and pillow case covers provide a barrier between house dust mites and the person with asthma. Down-filled pillows, quilts, or comforters should not be used and stuffed animals and clutter should be removed from bedrooms.
Pets
13 Furry pets may trigger an attack. The simplest solution to this situation is to find another home for the pet. However, some pet owners may be too attached to their pets or unable to locate a safe new home for the animal. Any animal causing an allergic reaction should not be allowed in the bedroom. Pets should be kept outside as much as possible and bathed weekly. People with asthma are not allergic to their pet’s fur,so trimming the pet’s fur will not help your asthma. Frequent vacuuming will reduce the presence of the allergen. If the room has a hard surface floor, it should be damp mopped weekly.
Mold
14 When mold is inhaled, it can cause asthma attacks. Eliminating mold throughout the home can help control asthma attacks. Keep humidity levels between 35% and 50%. In hot, humid climates, this may require the use of air conditioning and/or dehumidifiers. Fixing water leaks and cleaning up any mold in the home can also help.
By defining unfamiliar terms such as spirometry, spirometer, and episode, the writer makes this passage
A) more convincing.
B) more complicated.
C) easier to understand.
D) more interesting to a doctor.
I think its b more complicated
Answer:

Compare and Contrast: Greasers and Socs (Book: The Outsiders)
Answer:
Greasers are different from the Socs in that they come from the wrong side of the tracks. They are outcasts from respectable society, members of a class looked down on and despised by those from more upscale neighborhoods. It is this outcast status that gives the Greasers a strong sense of solidarity. It's very much a case of Greasers versus the World. The Greasers know that if they stick together then they'll be so much better for it.
As for the Socs, they lack that sense of being part of something bigger. As they occupy a position higher up the social ladder than the Greasers, they can treat gang life with less seriousness, as all a bit of a game. Their different attitude can be seen most clearly in relation to fighting. While Greasers fight because they have to, Socs fight because they actually get a kick out of it. (No pun intended.)
As the Socs come from good families, they don't see the gang as an alternative family in the way that the Greasers do. There's a sense in which they're playing at gangs—indulging in a hobby of which they'll soon get bored before they grow up and take their privileged place in the adult world.
The main difference between the greasers and the Socs is that they are from different social classes.
In The Outsiders, we learn that Socs are from the higher social class and greasers are from the lower social class. The greasers are different from the Socs in other ways than being poorer though. The two groups have set themselves at odds. There is the social club, and the street, and never can the two cross. Most of the greasers can’t stand the Socs, and vice versa. They hate each other on principle, and stand up for one another.

"I know," Manjiro said. "I'm sorry." He hung his head, but then looked up again. "I hope the barbarians will never find us. May the gods protect us from them!" he cried. Then he plucked up two pieces of driftwood of unequal length. He bowed to his friend, presenting the smooth, worn sticks in both his outstretched hands. "Oh, honored friend," he said, "I present your katana – your long sword."
Which word indicates that this story takes place in another country?
The word that indicates that this story takes place in another country is "katana". Katana is a type of sword used traditionally by Japanese samurais in feudal Japan. Of course, anyone in the world can buy a katana nowadays for purposes such a collecting them. However, as we can see it is a part of the characters' culture, we can read this excerpt and safely assume the story is most likely set in Japan.
Which line in the dialogue best indicates that the story does not take place in the present day?
I believe the line that shows this story takes place at a different time is: "I hope the barbarians will never find us." "Barbarians" is a word used to refer to any person who is considered uncivilized, as well as for those who are considered evil. When foreign people invaded lands killing and looting, they were often called "barbarians" by those being attacked. This is not a common term anymore. We do not refer to people from other countries as barbarians. This is a sign that this story is set in an older period in history.
Answer: A for both

What does this question tell me about the characters inner struggles?
Which word best fits the connotation of the sentence below?
The light breeze blew ________ through the copse of trees in the woods.
A. harshly
B. bitterly
C. brightly
D. easily
Answer:
D. easily
Explanation:
Let's figure out the tone of the sentence here:
"The light breeze blew ________ through the copse of trees in the woods."
The word "light" gives a sense of peacefulness and ease, something nice and airy without a negative aspect to it. From that, we can definitely eliminate A (harshly) and B (bitterly) because those words lend a kind of bad aura around the sentence.
Now look at "brightly" and "easily". Usually, since a breeze can be felt but not seen, we wouldn't describe it as "bright"; instead we usually describe a nice, light breeze as "easy".
The answer is thus D.

There’s good news and bad news about grizzly bears in the American West. The good news? Their numbers have been increasing in recent years. In 1975, grizzlies made the threatened-species list under the federal Endangered Species Act. The bad news? Some politicians want to abandon federal protection for the bears. Powerful energy corporations want to invade bear habitats to look for oil and gas. Developers want to build houses and shopping malls in bear territory. The bears are also losing their natural food source. Disease is killing the Whitebark Pines that grizzlies eat. If you care about these great bears, please help us save them.
Selection 2: Grizzly bears are no pushovers. The food sources and habitats for the grizzly bears are drastically vanishing, which is causing a problem for not just the bears. From Wyoming to Washington, the overcrowding of grizzly bears is causing the species to move closer to more abundant food sources and into human habitats. Because of the increased risk to humans and the bear species, bears should be caught and placed in captivity until the bear population reaches a safer number.
