Read the paragraph below. What is the main idea?

Wildfires caused by humans can happen because of arson, discarded cigarettes, and sparks from power equipment. When the conditions are right, wildfires can be caused by the fragments of hot rifle bullets. Wooded areas that have been cleared by logging are often covered by grasses that catch fire easily. By far, though, the majority of wildfires are caused by lightning strikes.

Wildfires destroy animal homes as well as human homes, regardless of how they start.

There are several ways that humans can start wildfires, but most wildfires have natural causes.

Lightning strikes only cause wildfires when humans are not able to prevent them.

Read this passage from your science course. (The passage is from the lesson on speed.)


Speed—also called average speed—is an idea you live with every day. Sometimes you want to know how fast something is moving or can move. You may be interested in auto racing and want to know how fast one of the cars can go. You may be a goalie on your soccer team—and you want to know how fast the ball can be coming at you. To calculate speed, you can use a simple scientific formula r = d/t. The r stands for rate of motion (speed), the d stands for distance, and the t stands for time. So speed is equal to distance divided by time.


Which answer best describes the structure of this passage?

A. a definition of speed, followed by several examples of speed in action

B. description of event related to speed, followed by a definition of average speed

C. rules for calculating speed in different settings, followed by examples

D. everyday examples of questions about speed, followed by the rule for figuring out speed

Which text from the passage develops the element of suspense?
adapted from Chapter I of The Legends of King Arthur
by James Knowles

The Prophecies of Merlin, and the Birth of Arthur

King Vortigern the usurper sat upon his throne in London, when, suddenly, upon a certain day, ran in a breathless messenger, and cried aloud—
"Arise, Lord King, for the enemy is come. They have sworn by a great oath, Lord, to slay thee, ere this year be done. Even now they march towards thee as the north wind of winter for bitterness and haste."
At those words Vortigern's face grew white as ashes. Rising in confusion and disorder, he sent for all the best craftsmen and mechanics, and commanded them to go and build him in the furthest of his lands a great and strong castle where he might fly for refuge—"and, moreover," cried he, "let the work be done within a hundred days from now, or I will surely spare no life amongst you all."
Then all the host of craftsmen, fearing for their lives, found out a proper site whereon to build the tower, and eagerly began to lay in the foundations. But no sooner were the walls raised up above the ground than all their work was overwhelmed and broken down by night invisibly, no man perceiving how, or by whom, or what.
The king was filled with mixed rage and fear.He called for the astrologers and wizards, and took counsel with them.The wizards worked their spells, and declared that nothing but the blood of a youth born without mortal father, smeared on the foundations of the castle, could make it stand. Messengers were therefore sent through all the land to find such a child. As some of them went down a certain village street, they saw a band of lads fighting. They heard them shout at one—"Avaunt, thou imp!—avaunt! Son of no mortal man! Go, find thy father, and leave us in peace."
At that the messengers looked steadfastly on the lad, and asked who he was. One said his name was Merlin. Another said that his birth and parentage were known by no man. A third said that the foul fiend alone was his father. Hearing the things, the officers seized Merlin, and carried him before the king by force.
But no sooner was he brought to him than he asked in a loud voice, for what cause he was thus dragged there?
"My magicians," answered Vortigern, "told me to seek out a man that had no human father, and to sprinkle my castle with his blood, that it may stand."
"Order those magicians," said Merlin, "to come before me, and I will convict them of a lie."
The king was astonished at his words, but commanded the magicians to come and sit down before him. Then said Merlin to the king—
"I pray, Lord, that workmen may be ordered to dig deep down into the ground till they shall come to a great pool of water."
This then was done, and the pool discovered far beneath the surface of the ground.
Then said Merlin to the king, "Command this pool to be drained, and at the bottom shall be found two dragons, which now are sleeping, but which at night awake and fight and tear each other."
The king commanded the pool to be forthwith drained. Surely at the bottom of it did they presently discover the two dragons, fast asleep, as Merlin had declared.
But Vortigern sat upon the brink of the pool till night to see what else would happen.
Then those two dragons, one of which was white, the other red, rose up and began to fight. They cast forth fire with their breath. In the end the red dragon was worsted, and the white dragon disappeared.
When their battle was done, the king desired Merlin to tell him what it meant. Merlin burst into tears and cried out this prophecy, which first foretold the coming of King Arthur.

A. He called for the astrologers and wizards, and took counsel with them.
B. "Avaunt, thou imp!—avaunt! Son of no mortal man! Go, find thy father, and leave us in peace."
C. "I pray, Lord, that workmen may be ordered to dig deep down into the ground till they shall come to a great pool of water."
D. In the end the red dragon was worsted, and the white dragon disappeared.

First Passage: The Northern Red Oak


The northern red oak is a grand-looking tree. It can grow as high as 75 feet tall. The fall season brings shorter days and cooler temperatures. Fall also brings changes to the leaves of the northern red oak. Leaves turn from green to shades of yellow, orange, and red, which is an amazing sight. It makes the northern red oak an eye-catching stand out among other trees in the oak family.


In summer, the gray rough branches of the northern red oak grow long and wide. This is the season when branches can become overly long and heavy. The weight of the branches' leaves adds even more pounds. If the growth of the tree is not managed, the entire appearance of the tree can be changed. Early trimming helps groom the tree and keeps it from looking like a rounded triangle by summer's end.


Both the size and the shape of the northern red oak's leaves are especially interesting. It is easy to find leaves that are larger than a man's hand. They often have 8 or more pointed fingers. That makes northern red oak leaves look like large, flattened evergreen trees.


Residents in the Midwest especially enjoy the beauty of their northern red oaks in October. A common sight is to see people walking or relaxing under them. They gaze up, watching the colored leaves dance in the cool fall breeze, knowing that winter will soon come to take the leaves away.


Second Passage: The Hardy Live Oak


The live oak tree is one of the toughest trees found in the United States. It is not a tall tree. It grows only 30 to 40 feet high. But its branches are broad and strong. The branches make up for the tree's rather short height. How? The branches stretch out from the trunk like thick arms on a giant. The leaves on the branches are simple. They are oval in shape. They glisten in the sun. Most importantly, live oak leaves are always there. Live oaks stay green all year round.


The live oak is also a fast growing tree. It is often planted in the lawns of new houses. This lets people living in the house have shade in just a few years. However, the owner of the tree needs to keep the lower branches trimmed. If the lower branches are not trimmed, over time the lower tree limbs will grow downward toward the ground. These branches will seem to almost slither like a snake. In time, they will be only inches above the ground. They will also spread out over the lawn for up to 25 feet from the trunk of the tree.


The live oak tree is popular for a very important reason. It can live in very hot weather. Strong sunlight does not kill it. People in the southern United States see so many live oaks that they no longer really notice them. Live oak trees just blend into the landscape. Yet, live oaks contribute to the landscape in many ways. They provide shade in the summer heat. They also provide food for many animals. Each live oak tree can produce thousands of acorns. Squirrels are just one type of animal that scurries to feast on the little brown nuts. Live oaks are certainly a treasure in hot places with harsh sunny weather.

Think about animal shelters. What problems do they face in the summer? Explain. Then, explain how Jeff Bennett and his group try to help shelters.
