Maya wonders which types of light could heat up a sheet of aluminum. The table below shows what happens when different types of light hit the aluminum.
X RAY LIGHT: TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE ALUMINUM
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT: REFLECTED OFF THE ALUMINUM
Based off this information, which type of light is more likely to heat up the sheet of aluminum?

A. The X-ray light is more likely to heat up the aluminum because the X-ray light can pull energy out of the aluminum when it passes through the aluminum.
B. The ultraviolet light is more likely to heat up the aluminum because the ultraviolet light bounces off the aluminum, which means that it has more energy.
C. There is no way to know because there are two different types of light, and different types of light can change a material in different ways.
D. Neither types of light is likely to heat up the aluminum because the aluminum does not take in energy from either the X-ray light or the ultraviolet light.

Read the excerpt from "Hansel and Gretel.”

The children, too, had not been able to sleep of hunger and had heard what their step-mother had said to their father. Gretel wept bitterly and spoke to Hansel: "Now it’s all up with us.” "No, no, Gretel,” said Hansel, "don’t fret yourself; I’ll be able to find a way of escape, no fear.” And when the old people had fallen asleep he got up, slipped on his little coat, opened the back door, and stole out. The moon was shining clearly, and the white pebbles which lay in front of the house glittered like bits of silver. Hansel bent down and filled his pocket with as many of them as he could cram in. Then he went back and said to Gretel: "Be comforted, my dear little sister, and go to sleep: God will not desert us”; and he lay down in bed again.

At daybreak, even before the sun was up, the woman came and awoke the two children: "Get up, you lie-abed, we’re all going to the forest to fetch wood.” She gave them each a bit of bread and spoke: "There’s something for your luncheon, but don’t you eat it up before, for it’s all you’ll get.” Gretel took the bread under her apron, as Hansel had the stones in his pocket. Then they all set out together on the way to the forest. After they had walked for a little, Hansel stood still and looked back at the house, and this maneuver he repeated again and again. His father observed him, and [said]: "Hansel, what are you gazing at there, and why do you always remain behind? Take care, and don’t lose your footing.” "Oh! father,” said Hansel, "I am looking back at my white kitten, which is sitting on the roof, waving me a farewell.” The woman exclaimed: "What a donkey you are! that isn’t your kitten, that’s the morning sun shining on the chimney.” But Hansel had not looked back at his kitten but had always dropped one of the white pebbles out of his pocket onto the path.

Which sentence best states how Hansel’s actions help reveal a theme?

Hansel lies to his father in order to protect Gretel.
Hansel fills his pockets with stones to mark the way home.
Hansel plans ahead for a way to save both Gretel and himself.
Hansel defies his stepmother in order to say goodbye to his kitten.

Read the passage from the website: www.growingnation.org

After the American Revolution, the newly formed United States realized that it lacked room to grow. The states created in the Declaration of Independence in 1776 were limited in size. As the population increased, more people were competing for the same amount of land. Consequently, land became more expensive, and overcrowding became an issue. The thirteen states were bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the territories of other nations. If the United States was going to have a future, it needed to increase its territory.

Read the passage from the following website: www.expandingcountries.edu/unitedstates/louisianapurchase

The United States was determined to expand west. Americans believed in Manifest Destiny, or their divine right to expand and spread democracy. They wanted to go west and live freely without the restrictions of the strict laws in the East. Other issues in the East included limited religious freedom and a lack of jobs. The promise of open land, new jobs, and religious freedom drew people further into the continent. This new land contained untapped resources, such as forests, plains, and ore. When gold was discovered in California, people were eager to head west. The West became synonymous with adventures and new opportunities. However, in order to go west, the United States needed to own the surrounding land.

(12) The Scythians were especially proud of their adornments made of gold and precious stones. (13) They liked to show their wealth and even decorated their horses with gold.

Whenever he swam by, they gave him a wide berth because of his big mouth, sharp teeth, and massive tail.

“Oh, M'su Cocodrie, there’s been a terrible misunderstanding. I would never mock you, the king of the bayou!”

Despite Alligator’s suspicions, he was sorely tempted by that bowl of scraps, which certainly sounded very tasty.

He lies in the water as quiet and motionless as an old log, with only his eyes and nostrils peeping out, waiting patiently.
