Blacksmiths are known for the way they can forge objects from a metal such as iron or steel. They put the metal into a forge, which heats the metal. The metal then changes colors in the forge. The colors tell the blacksmith when he or she can shape the metal with a hammer. The best time to forge the metal is when it is bright yellow. Other colors let the blacksmith know when to cut or to stick two pieces together. In the past, blacksmiths were the busiest professionals. People needed them to make items that were not mass-produced. (This is when things are produced in a large quantity at once in a factory.) They had to make everything that was needed in a household from a spoon to a shovel. Therefore, a blacksmith’s role in society was an important one because he or she made everything. However, as the knowledge of iron advanced, the need for a blacksmith decreased. There were now factories that could do the things that only blacksmiths could do. Although the role of blacksmiths has changed significantly, they are still a part of history. They created things that helped further other advancements. In addition, the work of blacksmiths could be seen as a piece of art because of how it is crafted. 3. Which of these sentences is an appropriate paraphrase? Colors let know the blacksmith when it is the best time to forge the metal. Factories soon replaced the role blacksmiths once held. Although the role of blacksmiths has changed significantly, they are a part of history. Blacksmiths are known for the way they can forge objects from metal such as iron or steel. They were very busy in past. Blacksmiths can make works of art. Forging objects from iron and steel is something a blacksmith can do. People needed them to make items that they were not mass produced. They created things that helped further other advancements. Blacksmiths can create iron and steel objects. They were very useful before the time of factories. Now, their work can be seen as art.

Wearing goggles is a way for people to protect their eyes from something harmful. One of the first pairs of goggles was made by the Inuits. They fashioned them from caribou antlers. The antlers curved around their eyes and had tiny slits that allowed small amount of light to enter. These goggles prevented snow blindness. Snow blindness can occur during the springtime when intense sunlight is reflected off of the white snow. In addition, people began wearing goggles for other activities. When working with tools, goggles can prevent eye damage from tiny objects flying. This can be seen when a blowtorch is used and sparks fly around the worker. Besides providing protection for the everyday job, goggles can protect the eyes of athletes. Swimming goggles protect a swimmer’s eyes from water that can blur his or her sight. In basketball, goggles can act as glasses and prevent players’ eyes from being scratched. 5. Which of these sentences fails to paraphrase words from the passage? Besides providing protection for the everyday job, they can protect the eyes of athletes. Inuits created a pair of goggles so that they could walk during the springtime on the snow. There are many jobs that need goggles to protect a worker's eyes from tiny flying particles. Basketball players wear goggles during the game just in case they get injured by rough play.

School lunches have not always been the tastiest of meals. And they are sometimes not the healthiest of meals. Therefore, childhood weight gain is a growing problem. Today, many schools serve fast food items like french fries and pizza as everyday meals. Although these are popular foods in school, they lead to the weight problems that kids now have. Because of this problem, a food revolution is taking place across the country. Schools are trying to change their menus. Many schools have started to adopt healthier options. However, there is still much to be done before things change. First of all, kids must warm up to idea—they, of course, are eating the food. Vending machines with junk food should be taken out of schools. Plus, more money should be provided to fund this program. It is difficult for schools to provide healthy food on fast food costs. Even though there is a call for change, it will take some time before all students can have healthy meals. With healthier meals, students will be more fit and focused as they go through a school day. 7. Which of these sentences is an appropriate paraphrase?
