Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman.


Now the examinations began. First the immigrants were examined by two doctors of the United States Health Service. One doctor looked for physical and mental abnormalities. When a case aroused suspicion, the immigrant received a chalk mark on the right shoulder for further inspection: L for lameness, H for heart, X for mental defects, and so on. The second doctor watched for contagious and infectious diseases. He looked especially for infections of the scalp and at the eyelids for symptoms of trachoma, a blinding disease. Since trachoma caused more than half of all medical detentions, this doctor was greatly feared. He stood directly in the immigrant's path. With a swift movement, he would grab the immigrant's eyelid, pull it up, and peer beneath it. If all was well, the immigrant was passed on. Which detail best supports the idea that only immigrants with good health were allowed entrance into the United States?


A.One doctor drew chalk marks on immigrants with health problems.


B.The two doctors worked for the United States Health Service.


C.An H mark on an immigrant meant he or she had heart problems.


D.Trachoma is a blinding and very contagious eye disease.

Repetition is a common element in folk tales. There are several reasons for this. First, since the folk tale was originally part of the oral tradition, the storytellers needed to be able to remember it, and the repetition served as a memory aid. Second, repetition is a good way to engage the listener or reader. Repetition establishes a certain rhythm, builds suspense, and emphasizes important details. In an essay, discuss the use of repetition in "Brer Possum’s Dilemma," and explain how you think it improves (or does not improve) the basic story.

Read the excerpt from The Call of the Wild.

And truly Buck was the Fiend incarnate, raging at their heels and dragging them down like deer as they raced through the trees. It was a fateful day for the Yeehats. They scattered far and wide over the country, and it was not till a week later that the last of the survivors gathered together in a lower valley and counted their losses. As for Buck, wearying of the pursuit, he returned to the desolated camp. He found Pete where he had been killed in his blankets in the first moment of surprise. Thornton's desperate struggle was fresh-written on the earth, and Buck scented every detail of it down to the edge of a deep pool. By the edge, head and fore feet in the water, lay Skeet, faithful to the last. The pool itself, muddy and discolored from the sluice boxes, effectually hid what it contained, and it contained John Thornton; for Buck followed his trace into the water, from which no trace led away.
How can you conclude that Skeet is a static character?

She is faithful to the last.
She is alone at the desolate camp.
She is with Pete under the blankets.
She is by the edge of the pool.

Superhero 101: A Dog's Day

Trace was still thinking about the conversation with his grandmother when he stopped so abruptly that Liam literally collided with him. “Hey, what gives?” Liam asked. “You were this close to wearing my ice cream in your hair. Why’d you stop?”

Tia and Blade had continued walking, but now they were headed back toward their friends to find out why they had stopped. Blade immediately noticed Trace’s countenance and followed his gaze. She was the most intuitive and observant of the group. Suddenly, she gasped.

“What is wrong with you two?” Liam, who was more interested in saving his ice cream than saving the world, asked before they had a chance to explain.

Trace spoke in hushed tones, “Look, over there. It’s Casper. He’s supposed to be in prison. What is he doing at the pet store?”

Liam and Tia looked toward the pet store as the four friends dodged into an alleyway, trying not to look too conspicuous. Casper was obviously in disguise himself with his dyed brown hair and beard. The last thing the group needed was for Casper to realize that he had been spotted by his nemesis. The last time he and Trace had met, Trace and his friends had thwarted Casper's plot to create a deadly toxin designed to help him take over the world. That was three months ago, and now it looked like he had somehow escaped from prison and was up to something equally menacing and ominous.

Casper was leaving the pet store and getting into a car, so the friends hurried to their car. They followed him to an abandoned pet-food manufacturing plant at the edge of town. Once Casper ducked inside, the four friends did the same but were soon confronted by an angry pack of dogs. Trace motioned for his friends to come close to him as he created a shield around them. He remembered the time when Tia had used her superpower to make the group invisible. They had been running from Casper and his henchmen. “Tia, make us invisible!” Trace shouted.

However, the friends’ scent wasn’t invisible, and the dogs could not be deterred. The dogs followed the friends as they made their way to where Casper appeared to be manufacturing something that smelled awful.

Select the correct text in the passage.
Which sentence contains the main idea of the paragraph?
Now you can stop feeling guilty about that bite of chocolate you had for dessert. Chocolate has been found to be a cause of weight gain. But
chocolate does have some health benefits. However, don't reach for that chocolate cake just yet. Researchers found that only people who had
an average of one ounce of dark chocolate per day received the health benefit. Dark chocolate is full of flavonoids, which can help prevent
diseases. Flavonoids have been found to decrease cholesterol and reduce the blood clots that cause strokes. Flavonoids also boost a natural
chemical in your brain called serotonin. Low serotonin can cause depression. That's probably why eating chocolate boosts mood and feelings
of well-being.

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!
