Read the excerpt from Animal Farm. As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. What is the main conflict described in this excerpt?

What Do You Do With A Lost Unicorn? Written by Katie Thompson-Chapter 3

By the time we have managed to pull the now snoring unicorn out onto the driveway, the color in Joe’s face completely gone. “How…Where…Did this thing come from?” he asks, panting.
“What, afraid it’s real after all?” I ask.
He looks up at me and offers a half-smile. “Who wants unicorns to be real if they look like that?”
I hide a laugh. “Well…Now we just have to figure out how to wake it up.” I poke it a few times with my foot, trying to keep some distance. It just keeps snoring.
Joe shrugs and bends down next to its ugly face and starts jiggling its shoulder, like he’s trying to wake up a very old uncle.
Suddenly its eyes open wide, and with an unbelievable grace, it stands upright. Joe jumps away to give it space, and I just keep staring at it. It walks over to the desert-style landscaping of my neighbor’s side yard and being perusing for its breakfast.
“That thing’s a lot more agile than I imagined it would be,” Joe says. We both stare at it as it saunters around, pulling up the grassy weeds from between the rock mulch. “So…that’s a unicorn.”
I look up at Joe and he's got this silly grin on his face. It's just so 'Joe' that I giggle. “Do you believe that's what it is yet?” I ask.
“I could if I wanted to,” he replied.
I looked up at him, questioning.
“That thing,” he points to the unicorn. “I could believe it was if I wanted to.”
The unicorn seems to have decided that it isn’t going to find anything worth eating here and starts to walk down the sloping back yard to the next street. It looks almost like it belongs there, like a stray deer who often grazes around this part of town when no person is awake or watching. When it disappears from our sight, I feel like a ton of responsibility has been lifted from me.
The whole morning seems almost trivial. “Well,” I say, “I guess that is that?”
Joe shrugs, checks his watch, and motions toward the bus stop. “We should get going,” he says. I grab my bag, and we walk down the driveway.
“I don't know if that thing was a unicorn or not,” he says, looking up into the sky like he might see a dragon flying around to confirm my claim. “But I'm glad you called me this morning.”
“Sorry I was…not very nice,” I say, hesitating.
He laughs a little but keeps looking around. Then with a huge gulp of air, “Do you believe we could be friends again? Like, real friends again? Because I gotta say, I really do miss you, Anna.”
I smile, remembering what he said earlier and reply, “I believe we could if we wanted to.”
This time he looks over at me. “…And?”
“And I really hope we want to.”

What is the main problem in this chapter of the story?

a) Joe is completely uninterested in being friends with Anna again, but won't say why.
b) When Joe asks Anna to be his friend, she becomes even more uncomfortable and says no.
c) Even though she feels a little better, Anna still isn't sure what Joe is thinking about their friendship.
d) The sleeping unicorn is very angry when it wakes up, and it starts ruining the neighbor's yard.
