His three listeners leaned forward eagerly. The visitor absentmindedly put his empty glass to his lips and then set it down again. His host filled it for him. "To look at," said the sergeant-major, fumbling in his pocket, "it's just an ordinary little paw, dried to a mummy."

He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously.

"And what is there special about it?" inquired Mr. White, as he took it from his son and, having examined it, placed it upon the table.

"It had a spell put on it by an old fakir [definition: a Muslim or Hindu religious person who is often thought to be able to perform magic]," said the sergeant-major, "a very holy man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it."

Read the excerpt from the article Challenging Explorations:

The first challenge faced by many explorers was money. They needed financial backing to fund the ships, cargo, and crew required to make such a long journey. The solution was royalty, and explorers would approach kings and queens to convince them to invest in their voyages. If the king and queen agreed, then the explorer would have the money needed to fund an expedition. In return, any lands discovered during the voyage were claimed by that country.

The next step was to obtain a seaworthy ship. Many ships were built during the age of exploration, but not all could handle a trip across the Atlantic Ocean. New ship designs were meant to suit long voyages. One such type was called a caravel, which was a small ship created for exploration in the 1400s. This type of ship was equipped with cargo space for voyages up to one year. Caravels were also considered seaworthy because they could travel about 90–100 miles per day.

Why were ships of the time seen as suitable vessels for long voyages?

Caravels could not handle the long journey across the ocean, so they built new ships.

Kings and queens did not want to remain at sea for longer than one year.

The ships of the wealthy were comfortable, and people could be happy on them for a year.

They were equipped with enough cargo space to carry supplies for an entire year.

Which statement best expresses the central idea of
the text?
A People should leave the past behind and move on.
B Success can often provide the best revenge against
racism.
C Elderly people should not be held responsible for
their opinions.
D Discrimination can prevent people from seeing
beyond race and class.

Dear Mayor Thomson, As you know, our town just passed a new law. Kids can no longer ride skateboards on our town’s streets and sidewalks. This is unfair. Our town does not have a skate park, and not everyone has a driveway. This means that some of us can’t ride skateboards at all. 2You spoke about this new law last week at a town meeting. You said that riding skateboards on streets is dangerous. You are worried that kids will be hit by cars. However, we have many small side streets in our town. Cars rarely drive on these streets. It is safe to ride a skateboard on a side street in our town. 3You said that people walking on sidewalks are afraid of skateboarders. They think that skateboarders might crash into them. This is not true. My friends and I have never crashed into someone walking on a sidewalk. We slow down when we see people. We smile and say hello. 4You also said that kids riding skateboards make too much noise. You believe that the people of our town want peace and quiet and do not want to hear us clang our skateboards on curbs. But children are rarely ever quiet when they play. Kids playing in yards make noise. People driving cars honk their horns. Skateboarders are not the only people who make noise. 5You also said that riding a skateboard is dangerous and kids could fall and be seriously hurt. I wear a helmet in case I bump my head. I also wear knee and elbow pads. My friends do this, too. This will keep us from being seriously hurt if we fall. 6Please change this law, Mayor Thomson. It is unfair to the children in our town. Many of us ride skateboards to get from place to place. We also ride them for fun. We are not hurting anyone and we are careful. Sincerely, Reginald Carter

In which argument is the slippery slope fallacy used to oppose the argument in this text? Use the table shown. A) The kids want the right to skate on any private or public property they choose. B) Reginald Carter is just a kid, he does not really understand what a mayor does. C) The mayor knows what is right for the kids, Reginald is too young to realize that. D) If we let kids start doing whatever they want, they will all just drop out of school.
