As an 11-year-old, my response to losing Clemente was to put together an album of photos clipped from newspaper stories. Since then I've read books and numerous stories about him and also watched documentaries of his life.

I didn't think I would learn much more about Clemente on this visit, and yet a few days ago my father, now a retired physician, told me of the time in the late 1960s when the perennial All-Star came to his office.

Seeking treatment for the back trouble that dogged him for much of his career, Clemente sat among the other patients and patiently waited his turn. It was an ordinary gesture by an extraordinary man, one that made his legend just a bit bigger in my eyes.

—“Clemente's Impact Wanes in Puerto Rico
40 Years after His Death,” Jorge Ortiz

Based on the clues in the passage, why would Jorge Ortiz start and end his story in 2012?

Because it shows that many people still don’t believe Clemente is dead.
Because it shows that he knew more about Clemente when he was 11 years old.
Because it shows that Clemente’s memory has become less important to everyone.
Because it shows how much Clemente has influenced him and others since his death.

Which two conclusions can you make about Scott based on the excerpt from Summer Experiences?

Summer Experiences
(It is the first day of school. Mr. Harris, the teacher, is sitting on a stool in front of the class and asking students about their vacation.)

MR. HARRIS: So what all did you do? Scott, how did you spend your vacation?

(Scott smiles and sits up straight when his teacher calls on him.)

SCOTT: I had a lovely trip, Mr. Harris. My family and I went to Italy. We saw the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, and Vatican City. The place has such rich history and culture. And the food there was fantastic. The pizza and pasta there are so much better than what you get here.

MR. HARRIS: I’m glad you enjoyed it, Scott. Now, Jason, what about you? How did you spend the summer break?

(A shy and frail looking boy glances around nervously before turning his attention to the teacher. His clothes look old and worn. The students look at him with a bored expression.)

JASON: I went to live with my grandparents on their farm. (He looks around the class once again and notices Scott snickering.)

Scott is shy.
Scott likes adventure.
Scott is upset.
Scott feels superior to others.
Scott is respectful.

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman. Now the examinations began. First, the immigrants were examined by two doctors of the United States Health Service. One doctor looked for physical and mental abnormalities. When a case aroused suspicion, the immigrant received a chalk mark on the right shoulder for further inspection: L for lameness, H for heart, X for mental defects, and so on. The second doctor watched for contagious and infectious diseases. He looked especially for infections of the scalp and at the eyelids for symptoms of trachoma, a blinding disease. Since trachoma caused more than half of all medical detentions, this doctor was greatly feared. He stood directly in the immigrant's path. With a swift movement, he would grab the immigrant's eyelid, pull it up, and peer beneath it. If all was well, the immigrant was passed on.
Which detail best supports the idea that only immigrants with good health were allowed entrance into the United States?
(a) One doctor drew chalk marks on immigrants with health problems.
(b) The two doctors worked for the United States Health Service.
(c) An H mark on an immigrant meant he or she had heart problems.
(d) Trachoma is a blinding and very contagious eye disease.

Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp—Camille Grant, October 2011

Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.

Review the following line from the text:

The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for nearly an hour before moving on.

Read the excerpt from “Racing to Race.”

It had been six months since Carlo’s surgery and he specifically remembered the doctor telling him he could start running after six months. But he thought about what Meiya had said and realized she had a good point. After his surgery, the doctor did say rehab would be crucial to his recovery but that it would take time for him to gain back full use of his leg. He thought about how a baby had to learn to walk before it could run. He remembered when his nephew was learning to crawl; within days it seemed like he was walking. Running didn’t come right away, Carlo remembered. He realized it was the same with his therapy. The maximum he had run in the past month was one mile on the treadmill, so he realized that Meiya was probably right. He would have to work at building up his endurance and set more realistic goals for himself. As he thought about what he had already accomplished, he started to smile and felt like a weight was being lifted off his shoulders. He realized that he had run almost a mile and a half before his body started to protest and if he kept working hard, he could get back to where he was before his accident.

What analogy does the author make in the passage?


Carlo compares his rehabilitation with his run that day.

Carlo compares his rehabilitation with a baby learning to walk.

Carlo compares his abilities with Meiya’s abilities.

Carlo compares Meiya’s advice with his doctor’s orders.

And then I feel my weight coming back just behind my knees then down to my feet then into the earth and the pistol shot explodes in my blood and I am off and weightless again, flying past the other runners, my arms pumping up and down and the whole world is quiet except for the crunch as I zoom over the gravel in the track.

Cathy hadn't expected this many people to attend. She was teaching her first yoga class today. She grew nervous as what seemed like a thousand faces stared at her waiting for the class to begin, waiting for instruction. At that moment, Cathy remembered the first yoga class she had ever taken. The room was warm and lined with experienced yogis. The instructor was tall with long, brown hair. He told her to do the best that she could and not to compare herself to others in the class. But that was too hard to do! She felt intimidated by the flexibility and endurance of the other students who flowed in and out of postures with ease. She had to look around to figure out what to do and often fell over while other students stood straight and strong. She felt so lost! But by the end of that first class, she had fallen in love with yoga. Now she was a teacher standing in front of her own class of beginners. She was excited to help people learn to love yoga just as she had learned to love it. Cathy took a deep breath and was finally ready to begin. "Reach up to the sky with a slight arch in the back," she instructed. The class complied, and Cathy tingled with excitement. This was the beginning of a wonderful new journey!

Why does the author tell the story through Cathy's point of view?
A.
to show the audience how terrified and nervous Cathy is about teaching her first class
B.
to show the audience how frustrated Cathy is about having to teach inexperienced students
C.
to show the audience how the students feel about having a first-time yoga instructor
