Read the passage.

A Flag with 50 Stars

The first American flag to have red and white stripes and white stars on a blue field was flown in 1776, shortly after the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag. There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes. However, we know for a fact that the first flag to have 50 stars—the one we have today—was designed by a high school student.

In 1958, Bob Heft was a 17-year-old student at Lancaster High School in Ohio. At that time, the United States had only 48 states but was on the verge of accepting two more: Alaska and Hawaii. The U.S. flag at the time had six neat rows of eight stars each. What would be the best way to add two more stars while keeping the arrangement neat and orderly? This was the question that Bob’s history teacher posed to the class.

The teacher gave the students an assignment: design a flag with 50 stars. Bob spent hours in the attic of his house, cutting up a 48-star flag and rearranging the stars until they fit just right. He was pleased with his solution to the problem, but his teacher found it less than perfect and gave him a B minus. Outraged, Bob told his teacher that he was going to send his design to his member of Congress, Walter Moeller. His teacher replied that if Bob’s design was accepted as the new flag, he would be more than happy to change his grade to an A.

A year later, Bob had graduated and was working as a draftsman when he received a call at work. He never would have imagined a call from President Eisenhower—but that's who it was! Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag. Bob Heft was invited to Washington, D.C., for a ceremony during which his design was officially adopted as the new flag of the United States.

PLZ AWNSER NOWTed and his father are going to the grocery store. They need to buy organic apples. Ted asks his father, "How are organic apples different from regular apples?" Ted's father replies, "Organic foods are foods that are grown without chemicals. Companies sometimes use chemicals called pesticides on foods. Pesticides keep bugs from eating foods. This keeps foods from being wasted. However, these chemicals aren't very good for people." Ted then asks, "How do I know an organic food from one that isn't?" His father continues, "Packaged foods like candy bars, frozen products, and even dried fruit are often not organic. Companies have to tell you if a product is organic. They do this by putting a label or sticker on it. But at home, it's easy. For instance, a tomato from Mom's garden is organic. She waters her plants regularly. But she doesn't use plant food or anything else." Question Based on the passage, which is an example of an organic food? Answer options with 4 options 1. cherries from a local orchard that uses pesticides 2. a chocolate bar that comes from a vending machine 3. frozen peas from the grocery store that have no label 4. a cucumber from a garden that has only been watered
