Answer 18

A writer uses the following evidence to support an argument to ban bottled water in schools:

The number of empty plastic bottles that do not get recycled

Which answer most clearly connects the claim to the evidence?

Drinking water is definitely a healthier alternative than soda; however, students rarely recycle their used water bottles, and not only is this a problem for the environment, but also the trash cans are overflowing with water bottles.

I like the idea of kids drinking more water, but I think bottled water should be banned in schools. Most kids don't recycle their water bottles, and that will have a very negative long-term effect on our environment.

I'm all for increasing healthy options in the vending machines, but when the school reports 230 bottles of water sold in a week and only 12 of those get recycled, I think there are other issues to consider besides health.

It is true that providing bottled water at school is a good idea; however, we should consider how detrimental this idea is for the beauty of our school grounds. Instead of recycling, 75% of students throw their bottles on the ground.

I think the first one.

Answer 19

Yeah, you're right. it's the first one.

This is a logical statement based on clear experience and fact.

This statement is not logical because it is only following the crowd.

This statement is not logical because voting no is always wrong.

This is a logical statement that uses strong wording to make its point.

The Gettysburg Address

"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."

Which of the following is the best summary of the line in bold?

The battle fought at this particular location was unimportant.

Patriotic citizens have the right to rebel against government.

War is pointless and should be used only as a last resort.

Our purpose is to see this war through and to win it for justice.

Answer 27

Answer 33

In the heat of the glowing July afternoon, the room, with blinds carefully closed, was full of a great calm. From the three windows, through the cracks of the old wooden shutters, came only a few scattered sunbeams which, in the midst of the obscurity, made a soft brightness that bathed surrounding objects in a diffused and tender light. It was cool here in comparison with the overpowering heat that was felt outside, under the fierce rays of the sun that blazed upon the front of the house.

Standing before the press which faced the windows, Dr. Pascal was looking for a paper that he had come in search of. With doors wide open, this immense press of carved oak, adorned with strong and handsome mountings of metal, dating from the last century, displayed within its capacious depths an extraordinary collection of papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing. For more than thirty years the doctor had thrown into it every page he wrote, from brief notes to the complete texts of his great works on heredity. Thus it was that his searches here were not always easy. He rummaged patiently among the papers, and when he at last found the one he was looking for, he smiled.

For an instant longer he remained near the bookcase, reading the note by a golden sunbeam that came to him from the middle window. He himself, in this dawnlike light, appeared, with his snow-white hair and beard, strong and vigorous; although he was near sixty, his color was so fresh, his features were so finely cut, his eyes were still so clear, and he had so youthful an air that one might have taken him, in his close-fitting, maroon velvet jacket, for a young man with powdered hair.

The use of the phrase "close-fitting, maroon velvet jacket" serves which of these purposes in the passage?

It implies that Dr. Pascal is vain.

It indicates that Dr. Pascal is fashionable.

It shows that Dr. Pascal has grown fat in his old age.

It demonstrates that Dr. Pascal is a frivolous person.
I think the last or first one.
