It was a fun day, an easy day. That type of day where one sits back to relax.

Kathy and I were planning to hang out in the basement of my house. Actually, we had planned to be at the park, but it was raining. I had brought snacks while Kathy had brought some delicious drinks.

As we walked down the stairs, I had a feeling today was going to be different. I wasn't sure why so I ignored the feeling.

We had the whole day planned out. We had taken the day off work so we could be together. We were going to do each other's makeup and play truth or dare, what are the odds, and some other various games.

Kathy, being one of those people who can't stand unplanned events, had planned everything out. Well, almost everything.

When we got to my basement, the lights were out. I ran upstairs and grabbed a flashlight, determined not to let this ruin our fun.  It was dark upstairs too.

"Kathy, the power has gone out," I said.

She groaned. "Of course it has."

"We'll still have fun!" I said positively.

"If you say so." She rolled her eyes.

"Come on, Kathy," I lightly teased her. "Everything will be fine."

"Sure it will," she remarked snidely.

There was no point in arguing with her, so we got right to having fun.

A while later, after we had made each other look like clowns and eaten all our snacks, we lay on the floor in my basement, completely exhausted.

"That was fun," Kathy smiled as she spoke, sincere.

"Told you!" I smiled back at her.

"I should go now. Bailey -" that would be her dog - "is probably waiting for me at home."

"I'll walk you out," I offered.

I waved as she left. "Be careful!" I reminded her. "The power's out."

She mumbled in response and kept walking.

I headed down to the basement to clean up the mess of snacks and wrappers. I noticed her bag was still there.

I was instantly overtaken by curiosity. I knew I shouldn't, but I still I opened her bag and looked inside.

There was nothing special in there, just typical stuff. I wondered why I had felt the need to open the bag. I grabbed the bag and rushed upstairs in the dark.

"Kathy!" I called in the hallway. Fear was beginning to take over me. "Kathy?" I said, a bit quieter.

"Yes?" Kathy appeared behind me, and her sudden presence scared me.

"You forgot your bag," I said breathlessly.

"Oh thanks, Melissa!" she said as she turned and walked away.

I was almost to my apartment when I heard a shrill yet guttural scream pierce the air. "Kathy?" I yelled, alarmed. No response. I huddled in my apartment.

A few hours later, when the lights came back on, a body was found dead on the floor, bleeding to death.

We had planned everything except the power cut. And the death, of course.

A story using the phrase "We had planned everything except the power cut" could be:

Elsa and her sister Rachael used to visit their parents every year during the summer holidays. During one such summer, Elsa decided to throw a surprise party for her sister Rachael towards the end of the vacation. She got together with her and Rachel’s friends and planned everything from the music to snacks to decorations as well.

When the day of the party came, there was a major power cut in the whole neighborhood. Since the party was planned for night, it would be a huge problem. They had planned everything except the power cut. Elsa asked her parents for help, but their power back-up wasn’t working as well.

Rachael was about to reach home soon. Elsa and her friends had to think of another plan quickly. One of the friends suggested they go to a nearby shop and ask the person for their generator, since he was also a childhood friend of theirs.

They ran to get the generator and just got back in time to do the final set-up for the party, just as Rachael pulled up in the driveway. Everyone yelled “surprise!” She was happy to see all her friends and family celebrating her graduation party with such enthusiasm.

In the middle of the party, Rachael pulled Elsa into a corner and asked her, “How did you pull this off in such a short time?” Elsa replied, “We had planned everything days before, except for the power cut.” And they started laughing.

One important economic factor in producing ethanol is its influence on the price of corn. Corn prices have more than doubled since 2005 because of increased demand, according to financial experts. Farmers know that corn is highly sought after, so they allot more space on their farms to grow large amounts of corn. This leaves less room for growing other kinds of crops, such as wheat or soybeans. These smaller amounts force suppliers to raise the prices of these now secondary crops as well. Bread and cereal manufactures are also involved in the economics of ethanol. These companies then pass rising costs of their crops to consumers, leading to higher prices at the grocery store.
Which statement summarizes how the chart illustrates the author's position on ethanol?

A) The chart supports the author's claim that more corn used for ethanol means less corn for livestock.
B) The chart supports the author's claim that not only the price of corn, but the prices of wheat and soybeans have risen as well.
C) The chart supports the author's theory about why the price of corn has risen sharply in the last few years.
D) The chart shows that the history of agriculture has proven that corn prices will level out naturally.
