(PASSAGE):
Beginner's Class
"Hey, Pasha," called Séamus as he crossed the parking lot. "What are you doing this afternoon? I was thinking about catching a movie, if you're interested."
"Thanks, but I've got big plans today," Pasha replied with a huge smile. "Today is the day."
"Huh? Today is what day?" asked Séamus with a confused look.
"THE day, silly," answered Pasha. "I finally saved enough money to enroll in the beginner's class at the Motorcycle Safety Association. I'm headed there now, as a matter of fact." Séamus stared at his friend in disbelief.
"Wait a minute," he said as he stopped in his tracks. "You actually enrolled in the motorcycle riding class? I never thought you'd do it. I thought it was just another project you act excited about and then drop in two weeks."
"Don't be silly," replied Pasha. "This isn't like the time I wanted to volunteer as a clown for the children's center or start my own dog walking business. I'm serious about learning to ride motorcycles. Once I get my first bike, I'll travel all over the world just like my hero, Lois Pryce."
"Isn't she the woman who rode her motorcycle from Alaska to South America?" Séamus asked as they continued walking toward the dark grey MSA building.
"Yes, that's her," said Pasha. "I got to meet her last year when she gave a speech at the History of the Americas museum. She talked about following your dreams, and that's exactly what I intend to do."
A loud roaring sound filled the air as Pasha and Séamus entered the Motorcycle Safety Association. They stood in the lobby and looked out at an indoor gym filled with people of all ages on motorcycles. Pasha felt a brief rush of insecurity as she watched the riders maneuver their way through an obstacle course of traffic cones and speed bumps.
"This looks intense!" Séamus remarked. "Do you think they'll let me stay and watch?" Pasha was about to answer when a tall woman dressed in a MSA t-shirt tapped her on the shoulder.
"You must be our newest student," the woman said as she handed Pasha a motorcycle helmet. "I'm Dervla, your instructor. I'll take you to your practice bike." Séamus moved to follow Pasha into the gym, but Dervla smiled and shook her head.
"Sorry, registered students only," she told him. "There are brochures by the door, and our next class starts in three weeks." Séamus waved to Pasha and wished her good luck before heading eagerly to the door. Behind him, Pasha, wearing an excited grin, fastened the strap on her motorcycle helmet and prepared to take her first ride.

Which detail best develops a theme about making faulty assumptions?

[14] Oh, heavens! it was broad daylight.

[15] The precautions I had taken in closing the shutters and going to sleep in the middle of the room had only brought about the practical joke I had been trying to avoid.

[16] Oh, how they all laughed that day!

Here is the world

with its glorious lands from east to west; and here are we,

had been lost and you had been snatched from death?

Read this paragraph from The Dark Game.

Another thing that changed very little in the years between the wars was the means of obtaining military intelligence. Although the use of photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances, the craft of spying on the enemy's army still relied on fieldwork. For the most part, intelligence was gathered in simple ways. Prisoners of war and deserters were interrogated. The Union army was always interested in hearing what runaway slaves had to report. And, of course, both armies relied on cavalry scouts, signal intercepts, visual observation, and captured correspondence.

What is the best summary of this paragraph?

During the Civil War, intelligence was gathered in the same ways it had been gathered in previous wars.
Photography and the telegraph were some of the technological advances that were used in Civil War espionage.
Most espionage during the Civil War was fieldwork that included observation, scouting, and interrogation of prisoners.
Enslaved persons that ran away, as well as prisoners from the Union Army, were good sources of information during the Civil War.
