S, and other businesses report salting again in the evening.Which of these is the author's claim?A.Medical bills totaled $1,085. Shaina Graves slipped on the ice after leaving h

Clarification:

I found the complete instructions for the exercise online:

On the night of December 12th, Ms. Shaina Graves slipped on the ice after leaving her son's hockey game at the Fordham Center. The fall  resulted in a broken wrist, which has caused Ms. Graves pain and  suffering in addition to medical bills totaling $1,085. The Fordham  Center should be held responsible for her injury. A spokesperson for  the Fordham Center says that the parking lot was salted at 2:00 that  afternoon and they could not have predicted the cold temperatures  that night. However, weather reports did war of freezing  temperatures, and other businesses report salting again in the evening.

How does the author respond to the counterclaim?

A. By illustrating how the injury affected Ms. Graves's ability to work

B. By explaining how salt prevents water from freezing on sidewalks

and parking lots

C. By suggesting that Ms. Graves's injury was caused by slipping on

the ice

D. By showing that other businesses took precautions against

freezing temperatures

Answer:

D. By showing that other businesses took precautions against

freezing temperatures

Explanation:

This is a reading comprehension activity. To complete this exercise, you have to read the text given and then choose the correct option. In this case, it is "D" because Fordham Center's excuse is that they did not know it was going to be freezing in the evening, however, other businesses knew and took precautions.

Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered. He didn't get angry, he just shrugged and shook his head at me. "Go upstairs to my boss." He told me the room number and continued to shake his head. Determined not to let my knees tremble, I forced myself up the steps to the room where I had been directed. I knocked on the door. No one answered, so I opened it. As the door swung open, I saw a round table filled with high-ranking Nazis. Their caps were on the table, and in the middle of the table was a radio. The radio was playing an English broadcast. Right away, I recognized the BBC. All their eyes burned into me. I realized that I had accidentally witnessed them committing a crime of treason, for which the penalty was death. Which line from the passage supports the theme “People overcome their fears to follow their beliefs”? “He told me the room number and continued to shake his head.” “Determined not to let my knees tremble, I forced myself up the steps to the room where I had been directed.” “As the door swung open, I saw a round table filled with high-ranking Nazis.” “I realized that I had accidentally witnessed them committing a crime of treason, for which the penalty was death.”

from “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For” in Walden
by Henry David Thoreau
Look at a meeting-house, or a court-house, or a jail, or a shop, or a dwelling-house, and say what that thing really is before a true gaze, and they would all go to pieces in your account of them. Men esteem truth remote, in the outskirts of the system, behind the farthest star, before Adam and after the last man. In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment, and will never be more divine in the lapse of all the ages. And we are enabled to apprehend at all what is sublime and noble only by the perpetual instilling and drenching of the reality that surrounds us. The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. Let us spend our lives in conceiving then. The poet or the artist never yet had so fair and noble a design but some of his posterity at least could accomplish it.
Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails. Let us rise early and fast, or break fast, gently and without perturbation; let company come and let company go, let the bells ring and the children cry—determined to make a day of it. Why should we knock under and go with the stream? Let us not be upset and overwhelmed in that terrible rapid and whirlpool called a dinner, situated in the meridian shallows. Weather this danger and you are safe, for the rest of the way is down hill. With unrelaxed nerves, with morning vigor, sail by it, looking another way, tied to the mast like Ulysses. If the engine whistles, let it whistle till it is hoarse for its pains. If the bell rings, why should we run? We will consider what kind of music they are like. Let us settle ourselves, and work and wedge our feet downward through the mud and slush of opinion, and prejudice, and tradition, and delusion, and appearance, that alluvion which covers the globe, through Paris and London, through New York and Boston and Concord, through Church and State, through poetry and philosophy and religion, till we come to a hard bottom and rocks in place, which we can call reality, and say, This is, and no mistake; and then begin, having a point d'appui, below freshet and frost and fire, a place where you might found a wall or a state, or set a lamp-post safely, or perhaps a gauge, not a Nilometer, but a Realometer, that future ages might know how deep a freshet of shams and appearances had gathered from time to time. If you stand right fronting and face to face to a fact, you will see the sun glimmer on both its surfaces, as if it were a cimeter, and feel its sweet edge dividing you through the heart and marrow, and so you will happily conclude your mortal career. Be it life or death, we crave only reality. If we are really dying, let us hear the rattle in our throats and feel cold in the extremities; if we are alive, let us go about our business.
Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the alphabet. I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born. The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and rifts its way into the secret of things. I do not wish to be any more busy with my hands than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my best faculties concentrated in it. My instinct tells me that my head is an organ for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and fore paws, and with it I would mine and burrow my way through these hills. I think that the richest vein is somewhere hereabouts; so by the divining-rod and thin rising vapors I judge; and here I will begin to mine.

Once upon a time, there was a boy with his brother and his sister. They were preparing for the opening of the circus. Before the circus opening, they had a party with all their friends they played games, won prizes, and ate cake. The kids arrived at the circus to see how it looks. The performers asked the brothers and the sister if they wanted to help decorate the circus before opening.

The party was the kids' cousin's birthday. The cousin wanted to come with them to the circus, but there was no more room in the car. On their way, they were talking about what they wanted for Christmas, the cousin wanted laser guns, and the sister wanted dolls. They were 30 minutes away from the circus until a police officer pulled them over because the cousin did not have a seat belt on. The police took them to the circus.

The circus was still not ready until the performers needed volunteers; the kids volunteered. They watched the show and had a great day at the circus. The End
