A day with Humpbacks I sat on the deadlands of Neah Bay, Washington, and watched a mother humpback and her calf slip through the icy Pacific waters. I recognized this humpback by her distinctive tall patterns, as unique to her as my fingerprints are to me. Once, heavy hunting using harpoons decimated populations of humpbacks, but they have since started to recover. As this gray female rises to the surface, she exhales, sending up a spout nearly 20 feet high. She rolls on her side and lifts her scalloped edge flipper in salute, then slaps it on the water. I adjust my lens and take a shot. This is the only type of whale hunting I find acceptable - hunting with a camera! Which of the following statements conveys the main idea of the passage? O A. This particular humpback whale has never been seen previously by the author O B. Humpback whales travel in waters near Washington O C. Cameras and harpoons are both ways of hunting humpbacks O D.

Cicada Emergence Cicadas, those intriguing insects that emerge en masse after years of hiding underground, have captured the attention of both entomologists and the general public alike. These remarkable insects, known for their distinct chirping sounds and striking appearances, have a unique life cycle that is both fascinating and cyclical in nature. The lifecycle of cicadas is a testament to the cyclical rhythms of nature. After spending several years in nymph form beneath the earth's surface, cicadas finally emerge during certain years in massive numbers. This phenomenon, known as a "cicada emergence," has become a subject of great interest and anticipation among enthusiasts. Entomologists study the patterns of these emergences, noting the regularity with which they occur. What's even more captivating is the simultaneous surge of public interest that accompanies these cicada emergences. Communities come alive with discussions, articles, and even events centered around these creatures. It's as if cicadas have a way of bringing people together and rekindling their curiosity every few years. The cyclical nature of cicada emergences can't be denied. Just like clockwork, these insects resurface, capturing our attention and reminding us of the beautv and comblexitv of the natural world. As the years go by and cicadas once again retreat underground, we can rest assured that their return, much like the changing seasons, is inevitable and awaited with eager anticipation. Which of the following perspectives can be inferred from the passage? O A. Cicadas and public interest about cicadas are global O B. Cicadas and public interest about cicadas are cyclical O C. Cicadas and public interest about cicadas are inspirational O D. Cicadas and public interest about cicadas are inexplicable

Dear Aunt Suzanne, I have a few minutes before I get on the bus from Galway back to Dublin and wanted to tell you how my class trip to Ireland is going. We just spent 2 days on Inis Mor, the largest of the Aran Islands, which are just off the central west coast of Ireland. We took a ferry from Galway, a ride that takes about an hour and was quite gray and stormy. For an island that is only about 12 square miles, there is a lot to do and see on Inis Mor! After eating steak and vegetable stew and brown bread with butter, we went to the sweater market, where all kinds of woolen products were sold. The Aran Islands are known for their wool because sheep thrive here and generations have used woolen sweaters and hats to survive long cold days of fishing on the open sea. In fact, I learned that each family or clan has its own signature knitting pattern and some are able to tell which family someone belongs to by the pattern of their sweater! The Healy pattern is an interesting combination of twists and braids, and I found you a birthday souvenir with a beautiful example The next day, we rented bicycles and toured the island. We saw ancient ruins, a prehistoric hill fort, and a white sand beach. We also climbed down to a mysterious rock formation known as The Worm Hole" a rectangular hole in a stone shore that fills with thrashing waves and looks like it houses a terrible serpent (see attached photo). The Worm Hole was difficult to find, and when we stopped someone for directions, she only Spoke Gaelic Sometimes this island seems stuck in an earlier time. According to the passage, which of the following events happens last? O A. Eva eats steak and vegetable Stew. O B. Eva took a ferry from Galway. O C. Eva purchases a patterned sweater. O D. Eva takes a bus to Dublin.

During World War I, Lamarr learned that one of the military's new technologies, radio-controlled torpedoes, were too easily jammed and redirected. She came up with a type of radio signal that changed, or "hopped, frequencies and was unable to be tracked or disrupted. With the assistance of her friend George Anthell, she was able to design the system and patent it in August 1942. Unfortunately, the United States Navy was not interested. The technology of the era wasn't quite good enough to easily implement Lamarr's system, and the Navy was not particularly interested in civilian inventions at the time. It wasn't until 20 years later, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, that a version of Lamarr's system began appearing on Navy ships. The work Lamar and Antheil did creating this frequency-hopping system led to many technologies that are often taken for granted today. Their work led to the development of cell phones, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Just think, we might not have any of those things if Hedy Lamarr had been given more interesting roles. Which of the following can the reader infer about the author's point of view when they state: "The work Lamarr and Antheil did creating this frequency-hopping system led to many technologies that are often taken for granted today."? O A. The author believes we spend too much time using technologies derived from Lamarr's work. O B. The author believes that the frequency-hopping system has damaged the potential of modern electronics. O C. The author believes that the work of Lamarr and Antheil was instrumental to the victory in World War O D. The author believes that we have underestimated the value of the contributions of lesser-known inventors.

With the assistance of her friend George Anthell, she was able to design the system and patent it in August 1942. Unfortunately, the United States Navy was not interested. The technology of the era wasn't quite good enough to easily implement Lamarr's system, and the Navy was not particularly interested in civilian inventions at the time. It wasn't until 20 years later, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, that a version of Lamarr's system began appearing on Navy ships. The work Lamarr and Antheil did creating this frequency-hopping system led to many technologies that are often taken for granted today. Their work led to the development of cell phones, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Just think, we might not have any of those things if Hedy Lamar had been given more interesting roles Which of the following conclusions can be drawn about Hedy Lamarr's acting career? O A. Hedy Lamarr wanted more opportunities to speak while acting. O B. Hedy Lamarr was content with her contribution to film O C. Hedy Lamarr worked in America films with MGM Studios O D.

Hedy Lamarr, the Inventor Hedy Lamar was a woman of many talents. She was first known as a European film actress in the 1930s. She began starring in American films with MGM Studios in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Some of her more popular films included Boom Town (1940) and White Cargo (1942); however, her roles generally did not include very many spoken lines and she became bored. To relieve this boredom, Lamar took up inventing. Hedy Lamarr did not have any formal training, but she did not allow that to stop her from teaching herself in her spare time. Although she had a number of failed inventions, such as an improved traffic light and a carbonated drink, Lamarr did not stop coming up with ideas. She even spent time working with the science engineering team employed by Howard Hughes, the aviation tycoon.

I have a few minutes before I get on the bus from Galway back to Dublin and wanted to tell you how my class trip to Ireland is going. We just spent 2 days on inis Mor, the largest of the Aran Islands, which are just off the central west coast of Ireland. We took a ferry from Galway, a ride that takes about an hour and was quite gray and stormy. For an island that is only about 12 square miles, there is a lot to do and see on this Mor! After eating steak and vegetable stew and brown bread with butter, we went to the sweater market, where all kinds of woolen products are sold. The Aran Islands are known for their wool because sheep thrive here and generations have used woolen sweaters and hats to survive long cold days of fishing on the open sea. In fact, I learned that each family or clan has its own signature knitting pattern and some are able to tell which family someone belongs to by the pattern of their sweater! The healthy pattern is an interesting combination of twists and braids and I found you a birthday souvenir with a beautiful example. The next day, we rented bicycles and toured the island. We saw ancient rums, a prehistoric hill fort, and a white sand beach. We climbed down to a mysterious rock formation known as the "wormhole," a rectangular hole in a stone shore that fills with thrashing waves ad looks like houses of a terrible serpent. The wormhole will be difficult to find, and when we stopped someone for directions, she only spoke Galect. Sometimes this island seems stuck in an earlier fame. According to the passage, which of the following events happens last? O A. Eva eats steak and vegetable Stew O B. Eva took a ferry from Galway O C. Eva purchases a patterned sweater O D. Eva takes a bus to Dublin

Letter from the Chair of Elkinsville Ecological Society Many of you have heard about the proposed northward expansion of the interstate, which currently ends just south of Elkinsville. In the recent debate over how this work will go forward, the focus has been on weighing economic costs and benefits. Indeed, many local politicians claim to favor the project because it will bring jobs in the short term and more visitors to Elkinsville in the long term. These politicians also argue that the proposed plan is the least environmentally damaging way to expand the highway farther upstate. This cannot be true, however, since the proposed expansion involves not just the widening of existing roads, but also the construction of more than a dozen miles of new-terrain highway. Which of the following statements can be supported by evidence from the passage? O A. There are no Elkinsville Environmental Society members among the city's politicians. O B. Politicians in Elkinsville will win their efforts to approve the northern expansion of the interstate highway. O C. The Elkinsville Ecological Society will continue to oppose the northern expansion of the interstate. O D.

Napping Across Time Napping, a practice that weaves through the tapestry of history and culture, offers a fascinating insight into human rhythms and societal norms. Delving into the annals of time, we find ancient civilizations like the Romans embracing the afternoon "sexta," a brief slumber to restore vitality. In more recent times, the Spanish siesta carved out a sacred space in the day for rest, while the Japanese inemuri, translating to "sleeping while present," became an emblem of commitment to work. The allure of napping knows no bounds-across continents and eras, cultures recognize the value of this midday interlude. From Mediterranean countries to the heart of Asia, napping is not merely a break; it's an art form deeply ingrained in the fabric of daily life. It's a moment to escape the relentless pace, to recalibrate the senses, and to rejuvenate the mind. Which of the following additional pieces of information supports the claim that napping during the workday will help employees "be happier, healthier, and more productive"? O A. In 1999, National Napping Day was founded in response to Daylight Saving Time. O B. A study showing that the best time of day for a nap is between 2 and 3 p.m. O C. Multiple companies have designed special seats or pods specifically for getting the optimal workplace nap O D. Rested people have better impulse control, so they are more likely to choose nutritious food over junk food.

Office Memo To: Staff From: CEO Date: June 18, 2021 Subject: Naps Employees, In recent company-wide audits, many employees have reported fatigue at work.

According to a 2008 study, napping for 60 minutes helped improve verbal memory, motor skills, and perceptual learning better than caffeine. Many successful companies have adopted the practice of work naps, in Industries like tech, manufacturing - even NASA! Starting today, we will be providing a designated nap room in each office building near the gym and cafeteria to help employees take care of their bodies and minds, so they can be happier, healthier, and more productive Thank you. Melinda Vasquez Which of the following first prompted the CEO to consider implementing nap rooms? O A. Having extra rooms available near the gym and cafeteria O B.

On February 2 of each year, the United States observes the unusual holiday Groundhog Day, a day of hope that winter is over and spring is beginning. The tradition has been officially observed in the US since the 1800s and is believed to have developed from European folk traditions in which a bear, fox, badger, or even hedgehog would serve as the symbolic metrologist. Although other cultures and towns observe Groundhog Day (or something similar) the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania takes special pride in being home to the one true forecasting, the groundhog, Punxsutawney Grounding Club to perpetuate the joyful rituals and events surrounding Groundhog Day. Over the years, these rituals and events have come to include a scavenger hunt, a talent show, and a ball. Legend has it that on Groundhog Day the official weather-forecasting groundhog awakens from hibernation and comes out of his burrow to look for his shadow. If he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are to come and Punxsutawney Phil goes back to bed. However, if he does not see his shadow, Punxsutawney Phil takes this as a sign that spring has arrived and he remains above ground. Of course, common sense tells us that February 2 is too early for spring to begin and that while animals may be attuned to various elements of nature from which humans might learn, they are unlikely to act on their instincts based on a schedule set by the Gregorian calendar. Nevertheless, a visit to Pennsvlvania to the Punxsutawnev Phil and all the fun inspires each year might provide the loath of hope needed to reach the end of winter. What source would be most useful in determining reliability of Punxsutawney Phil's predictions over a number of years? O A. A historical survey of customs in Pennsylvania O B. An encyclopedia entry on mammals in the northeast U.S O C. A record of weather patterns in the last decade O D. A memoir from a member of the Groundhog Club

Over the years, these events have come to include a scavenger hunt, a talent show, and a ball. Legend has it that on Groundhog Day the official weather-forecasting groundhog awakens from hibernation and comes out of his burrow to look for his shadow. If he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are to come, and Punxsutawney Phil goes back to bed. However, if he does not see his shadow, Punxsutawney Phil takes this as a sign that spring has arrived, and he remains above ground. Of course, common sense tells us that February 2 is too early for spring to begin and that while animals may be attuned to various elements of nature from which humans might learn, they are unlikely to act on their instincts based on a schedule set by a Gregorian calendar. Nevertheless, a visit to Pennsylvania to see Punxsutawney Phil and all of the fun he inspires each year might just provide the touch of hope needed to reach the end of winter. Which of the following pairs of search terms entered into a search engine with the phrase "Groundhog Day" is likely to produce information about the origin of Groundhog Day? O A. Weather and farming O B. Holiday and festivities O C. History and folklore O D. Habitat and diet

Research shows that tipping in a restaurant has little to no effect on service. What tipping does do is enable restaurateurs to pay less than the federal minimum wage to servers and depend on customers to make up the difference between servers' salaries and the minimum wage. The U.S. federal minimum wage for servers is $2.13 per hour. Although minimum wage varies from state to state, it is safe to say that customers are paying the lion's share of servers' salaries. This practice leads to resentment on the part of customers, and it devalues servers. It's time to abolish tipping and pay employees a living wage. The result may well be happy servers who provide excellent service to grateful customers. Which of the following is evidence the writer provides to support the main argument? O A. Customers are grateful for excellent service. O B. Servers do not provide good service because of their low pay. O C. The minimum wage varies from state to state. O D. Customers pay a large percentage of servers' salaries

Shia looked up from his monitor, rubbed his eyes, and stared down the dark hallway toward the CFO's office. He was certain a sound had come from behind the closed door. It was a heavy thump, like someone had dropped a bowling ball. There shouldn't be anyone else here at this hour, Shia thought to himself as he looked at his watch. The only illumination came from Shia's computer monitor. His office was on the thirtieth floor, far too high to get much more than a faint glow from the street lights below. Shia slowly stood up before reaching down to turn off the computer screen, hoping to hide in the darkness. He considered turning on his phone's flashlight, but his thoughts were cut short by a loud crash followed by the unmistakable tinkling of shattered glass.

What is all this of cicadas lately in the United States? You might be wondering why the media has featured it. but in fact. the discussion about cicadas has emerged about as predictably as the cicadas themselves from their underground refuge. Let's get oriented with some background on cicadas. A typical definition would describe the cicada as a large, noisy insect with long, transparent wings, predominantly found in warm regions. Going into greater detail, cicadas can be recognized by their short antennae and prominent wide-set eyes. They possess delicate, translucent wings, and their characteristic feature is their loudness. Among the animal kingdom, few creatures produce a more intense sound. Specifically, it's the male cicadas that create the cacophonous buzz, generating noise levels ranging from 80 to 100 decibels, akin to the roar of a powerful engine. This is achieved through the male cicadas' unique ability to produce a strident, high-pitched sound by vibrating two membranes on their abdomen known as tymbals, effectively turning their bodies into echo chambers or drums. In contrast, female cicadas cannot replicate this buzzing but respond with a distinctive clicking sound when they are ready to mate. Although there are several species of cicada, mating typically takes place in trees wherever the female deposits the eggs into the bank. When the eggs hatch, the larval cicadas, called nymphs, drop to the ground and burrow. They then live as nymphs for most of their lives over 6 feet underground with both male and female cicadas dying within weeks of their emergence from the soil. This is particularly true for North American cicadas especially the mogucicada. Which of the following words does the author use to express a derogatory tone? O A. Noisy O B. Delicate O C. Predictable O D. Roar

A more detailed response might also inform you that cicadas have short antennae and wide-set eyes that jut out. With delicate, translucent wings - and that not only arethe cicadas loud but few creatures make a louder sound. In fact, it is the male cicadas that are the noisy ones to the tune of 80 to 100 decibels, with sound like the roar of a loud engine.This is because male cicadas make a strident, high buzzingsound by vibrating two membranes on the abdomen called tymbals, effectively turning its body into a kind of echo chamber or drum. Female cicadas cannot replicate the buzzing, though they respond with a clicking sound when they are ready to mate. Although there are several species of cicada, mating typically takes place in trees wherever the female deposits the eggs into the bank. When the eggs hatch, the larval cicadas, called nymphs, drop to the ground and burrow. They then live as nymphs for most of their lives over 6 feet underground with both male and female cicadas Although there are several species of cicada, mating typically takes place in trees wherever the female deposits the eggs into the bank.
