A dialogue that lacks context is MOST likely to produce what kind of scene?
•succinct and informative
•long and devoid of tone
•verbose and cluttered
•sterile and devoid of setting

Answer:

sterile and devoid of setting

Explanation:

A dialogue is a form of communication between more than one person that involves messaging and feedback.

Therefore, if the dialogue is lacking in context that is relevant to the discussion, then such conversation is sterile (which means it's not producing good output) and devoid of setting (context)

A student is writing a letter to the local center of government. Read the draft of the student's letter and complete the task that follows.

Last week, our school worked on the "Adopt a Highway" project on County Highway 247, where several of us students picked up trash on the side of the road. When we were done, I noticed that the next several miles of highway were littered with tons of garbage. I believe that the city could expand this project by allowing people to perform community service to pay down fines and tickets by picking up trash. This would help to beautify the highway that leads into the next town, and perhaps from there, other people will work to beautify the rest of the state. Please consider allowing people to perform community service by picking up the trash that litters County Highway 287. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Paragraph:
"When we say someone is smart, what does that mean? Does it mean they performed well in school? If it does, then I’m the opposite of smart. I was awful in school. It wasn’t because I didn’t know how to read or write, or that I didn’t understand the concept of math. I just couldn’t learn the way my teachers wanted me to. I was different, and none of my schools had time for different.

What made me different? Was I a product of my environment? Maybe. I lived in poverty and bounced around from school to school after each eviction sent my family on the search for another apartment and my single mother in pursuit of another job. Learning in those circumstances would be difficult for any kid. But did that make me not smart? Sure, I wasn’t an honor roll student, but none of the other kids knew about section 8, HUD housing, food stamps, hotel vouchers, and how to pack everything you own into two black trash bags in under thirty minutes while the sheriff tossed your furniture out. I knew these things. This qualifies as smart, doesn’t it?

But that was life outside of my brain. What was going on inside was the other reason people thought there was something wrong with me. The doctors explained it like this: If everyone has a sack of water around their brain, and lightning strikes, the water absorbs the blow and allows the brain to only receive a small charge of electricity, letting you learn safely and normally. My brain was made without the sack surrounding it. I take the lightning—information coming in—head on. I learn from each strike, but not the way others learn new things or process information. This meant that I dissected what I heard or read, seeing how many other words I could make from various words. I’d then play with the letters, trading vowels with words in the next sentence to make new words.

This made reading very difficult and reading aloud nearly impossible. The teachers didn’t know what to do with me. I’d hand in assignments that had nothing to do with the lesson, but every letter from each question was used to create a story. I’d hand in my story and hope the teacher enjoyed it, but I was always failed. I was always placed in the back of the classroom, the place for students the teachers had given up on. I was allowed to hand in my silly stories and I managed to pass with Ds.

But I loved words. I collected them to make stories. Always stories. I had to tell stories.

It got worse in high school (or better, depending on how you look at it). I was failing all of my classes. I was reprimanded constantly for not paying attention, for not focusing, and for fooling around. But I was paying attention, just not the way they expected. I was different.

Being reminded I was different wasn’t new to me. We were the poor family. I was the kid who didn’t have a dad. I was the kid who wore the same pants every day. And we were always the only Native American family anyone knew. And in school, we were taught that Native Americans were the bad guys. The savages. The ungrateful killers who refused the bible and scalped all the innocent white people who just wanted to flee their oppressive homelands and make a better life for their families.

This was my identity I was given. I was a poor Native American boy with no dad and oh, yeah, there was also something wrong with my brain. That’s who I was to people on the outside, but that’s not who I ever was. Not really. I was different, yes, but I didn’t yet know that didn’t mean I was un-teachable.

Throughout high school, the lightning strikes and my grades got worse. I was sent to doctors and put on pills. These pills were intended to calm the storm inside my brain. At this time, I was frequently having seizures. I’d wake up in a hospital completely humiliated, knowing everyone at school would be talking about how I snapped during class, started spitting, and was flopping on the floor like a fish out of water. It was so embarrassing. I even quit playing basketball, where I was my school’s MVP, because of the fear of having another seizure on the court, in front of everyone.

I found myself depressed for the first time in my life. I didn’t want to live anymore if it meant worrying that my next trip to the hospital could happen at any moment. I stopped sports, I stopped hanging out with my friends, and I didn’t have anyone to talk to about this weird condition. All I had left is words. So I kept writing my stories."​​

The Persistent Gardener

It was Jilly's last day in the greenhouse. Summer was coming to an end and so was the growing season. School would be starting next week and the fall plants were well enough along to allow Mrs. T. to manage the greenhouses herself. As Jilly worked the plants for the last time, she tried to focus on the new school year instead of the details of the greenhouse. It had been a hard, hot summer, but Jilly was not ready for it to be over.

Jilly moved down the tables, tucking a stray hair behind her ear with a gloved and already dirty hand. She'd repotted the last of the rosemary plants and mixed a new batch of potting soil already. Mrs. T. now had enough potting soil to last her through September. Jilly looked at a couple of maiden-hair ferns that were beginning to yellow in their small pots. She loved their lacey fronds and had grown concerned over the last few days that they needed repotting or a boost of fertilizer. She had also worried that she would continue to find chores that needed doing, plants that needed help, right up until the minute she left today. She hated unfinished things. She hated details not being tended to.

The sun had been above the trees and blasting the greenhouse for a good hour now. Jilly listened for the familiar whirr of the automatic vents opening. When the greenhouse reached a certain temperature, the vents would open automatically. The vents would have a cooling effect for an hour or so, and then no amount of breeze would put a dent in the heat. Mrs. T. often claimed Jilly must be part reptile as she was able to work longer in the greenhouse than anyone else. The heat just didn't bother her. In fact, Jilly often looked forward to the warmth of the greenhouse and feeling the heat seep into her bones. It felt good to her, but she understood others who found it hard to breathe in 100-degree temperatures.

Jilly heard the greenhouse door bang, and looked up from her ferns to see Mrs. T. walking down the aisle with a tray of young plants. Mums, Jilly supposed, the flowers everyone wants for fall. She had helped Mrs. T. take cuttings and plant the small stems in new pots. They were doing nicely from the look of things.

"We will keep these in here for now," said Mrs. T. "They are getting too much rain outside."

It had been a rainy couple of days. Jilly knew, as well as anyone, that overwatering could kill potted plants quickly.

"Do you remember when I overwatered those mint plants?" Jilly asked Mrs. T.

"I used to think no one could kill a mint plant," Mrs. T. said, laughing.

"Well I am full of surprises, apparently," Jilly replied. Jilly remembered the sad green plants that just kept looking more and more wilted no matter how much water she gave them. It was a beginner's mistake, and Jilly had been so embarrassed for making it.

"That you are," replied Mrs. T. "But I know you learned a lesson you won't ever forget."

"Of course. Herbs like their roots damp, not flooded," Jilly answered.

"Well that is not the lesson I was thinking of," Mrs. T. said.

Jilly wondered for a minute what the lesson could be. She straightened the rows of geraniums in front of her, picking up one or two to check for aphids under the leaves. It had been a summer full of lessons, some especially hard for a girl who thought she knew a lot about plants. She breathed deeply the warm, humid air. She hated the cooped up feeling of air-conditioned air, the feeling of being cut off from the sun. She knew school and the library would offer only these uncomfortable feelings and little time to spend in the sun or with plants. She had come to understand this over the summer need to be around growing things was huge.

"I'm not sure, Mrs. T." she said, "I've learned so much this summer. I couldn't possibly say what you are thinking."

"You did learn many lessons, Jilly. You knew so much when you started. You've gone farther than any other assistants I've had. I will miss you."

"And I will miss you," Jilly replied. "Thank you for the opportunity and the job." Jilly watched Mrs. T. put the tray of mums down on the center row of tables. Wearing her familiar brown apron, Mrs. T. looked just as she had on Jilly's first day.

"My pleasure, of course, dear," Mrs. T. replied. "My hope for you, as for all my assistants over the years, is that you will learn as much about yourself as you do about growing plants."

Recalling her thoughts all morning, about what she enjoyed about her summer job, Jilly realized she knew much more than just how to not drown the mint.

Read this passage.

Rocky Mountain National Park, nicknamed "Rocky," is a true marvel of the American West and contains a variety of animals, plant life, and even climates. There are four ecosystems inside Rocky Mountain National Park: riparian, montane, subalpine, and alpine tundra. You might see a moose or mule deer drinking from a pond in a riparian ecosystem, which are areas that are near streams or lakes. Riparian ecosystems can be found within the other three ecosystems. The montane ecosystem is the lowest in elevation at Rocky. There you will find ponderosa pine trees and wide-open mountain meadows, lush with wildflowers in the summer. Climb a little higher into the subalpine ecosystem, where long winters and short, cool summers make up the climate. Look high into a limber pine tree and you might spot a Clark's nutcracker, nibbling on pine seeds. Finally, the highest elevation in Rocky is the alpine tundra. Bitter cold and wind-blasted defines this ecosystem with its jagged mountain tops that are capped with snow even in late August. Each of these ecosystems has a quality all its own, but they are all interconnected, comprising a true American treasure: "Rocky."
