Bobby wanted to earn extra money, so his parents helped him get a job delivering papers. He had to wake up every morning at 5 a.m. to fold the newspapers. He would then pack them in the sack on his back and ride around the neighborhood, throw the paper on the driveways. A few times, his toss was off and the paper landed on the wet grass. He know he should probably return to the house and place the paper on the driveway, but his arm usually was accurate. He figured he could always pretend he did not notice – especially if no one complained. Bobby really did not like the job, but he forced himself to do it every morning. About three months into the job, he decided it was not worth the extra money. He told his boss that he wanted to quit, but offered to complete the last week of the month because he knew he would have to find a new delivery person.

Read the speech "Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True" and consider the advertisement "The Opportunity of a Lifetime." Then, answer the question.

Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True

A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

"The Opportunity of a Lifetime"

A magazine advertisement with the title

Both texts (the speech and the advertisement) address voluntourism. However, each text has a different purpose, which is reflected by the details each writer chose to include. Consider the words and images used.

In a paragraph of 6-8 sentences, identify what each text emphasizes and explain how that emphasis reveals each author's position on voluntourism. Be sure to state each author's position and include evidence from both texts to support your analysis

Read the claim.

Children should avoid playing violent video games that could have a negative influence; instead, they should play nonviolent games, of which there are thousands available.

Read the counterclaim.

Because there is no proven link between violence in video games and real-life violence, children should, with adult supervision, be given the opportunity to play any video games they choose.

Read the rebuttal.

While the proof of a link is debatable, what is not debatable is the foolishness of allowing children to choose whatever video game they would like, since it empowers children unnecessarily.

Which statement best analyzes the rebuttal?

It is effective because it uses fair and unbiased logic to present a flaw in the counterclaim.
It is effective because it sets an authoritative tone incorporating strong reasoning.
It is ineffective because it does not provide a logical reason for opposing the counterclaim.
It is ineffective because it does not acknowledge any part of the counterclaim.

Which detail from the passage best develops the narrator's perspective
on being part of the math team?
Once again, the other members of the math team began drawing up a solution
before I had even had a chance to look at our question card. "Listen, fm part of this
team, tool" i exclaimed. You can't keep leaving me out i think they were all
surprised that I finally spoke up for myself. James shrugged his shoulders and
handed me the marker. "Go ahead and give it a try," he said.

Why does the narrator describe Hannah's comment as passive- aggressive in paragraph 7?​

Read the passage from A Doll’s House

Nora: [breathlessly]. Torvald—what was that letter?

Helmer: Krogstad's dismissal.

Nora: Call her back, Torvald! There is still time. Oh Torvald, call her back! Do it for my sake—for your own sake—for the children's sake! Do you hear me, Torvald? Call her back! You don't know what that letter can bring upon us.

Helmer: It's too late.

Nora: Yes, it's too late.

Helmer: My dear Nora, I can forgive the anxiety you are in, although really it is an insult to me. It is, indeed. Isn't it an insult to think that I should be afraid of a starving quill-driver's vengeance? But I forgive you nevertheless, because it is such eloquent witness to your great love for me. [Takes her in his arms.] And that is as it should be, my own darling Nora. Come what will, you may be sure I shall have both courage and strength if they be needed. You will see I am man enough to take everything upon myself.

Nora: [in a horror-stricken voice]. What do you mean by that?

Helmer: Everything, I say—

Nora: [recovering herself] You will never have to do that.

Which evidence supports the inference that Nora is afraid of what Torvald will say if Krogstad tells him about her forgery?

“Do it for my sake—for your own sake—for the children’s sake.”
“You don’t know what that letter can bring upon us.”
“Yes, it’s too late.”
“You will never have to do that.”

Read the paragraph,
If you like fluffy bread, then you should be grateful for yeast. Without yeast, bread would be hard and flat. You can buy envelopes of yeast in
the grocery store. When you open the envelope, the yeast looks like a sandy substance, but you are actually looking at tiny, living, creatures, in its
dry state, the yeast is inactive, but if you add warm water to it, the yeast "wakes up," becoming active. When making bread, you add the active yeast
to a mixture that includes flour and sugar. The yeast eats the sugar and produces bubbles of gas called carbon dioxide, the same gps that people
breathe out. The bubbles make the dough rise so that your bread will be nice and fluffy after you bake it
What is the main purpose of the underlined sentence?
O 1. It provides the reader with a solution to the problem of hard and flat bread,
O2. It generalizes the role of yeast in breads and other foods made from dough,
