Crack! Thunder struck and rain poured. Max stared blankly out the window, trying to contain his emotions that raged like the weather. He was beginning to lose it. Dropping the kite from his hand, Max broke out into full sob. His mother comforted him, "There, there, Max. We'll just find something else to do." She began to unpack the picnic basket that was on the counter and offered him a sandwich. Max snapped, "I don't wanna sand-mich!" A flash from the sky lit up the living room. Boom! Mom sighed.

Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on the steps of the front porch.  Alice would have a fit if the boots made it so far as the welcome mat.  He then took off his dusty overalls and threw them into a plastic garbage bag; Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the porch railing for him every morning.  On his way in the house, he dropped the garbage bag off at the washing machine and went straight up the stairs to the shower as he was instructed.  He would eat dinner with her after he was "presentable," as Alice had often said.  
Based on the text, how do you know Paul works in construction?

• He has tools

Excerpt from: Home Emergencies
By: Carole Jenkins
⁽¹⁾Many people have never thought about what they would do when faced with a home emergency, such as a tornado, a hurricane, or a fire. (2)People get scared and don't act right. (3)Being prepared in case of emergencies can reduce the risk of danger and prevent panic should emergencies occur.
Q:  The passage suggests that being prepared in case of an emergency is important because

• it is a law that all families have an emergency plan..
• forest fires can become dangerous in a matter of seconds.
• many people do not own a battery operated radio in their home.
• it prevents chaos and risk of injury in the event of an emergency.

Excerpt from: Telemarketing Calls
Are You Getting Telemarketing Calls You Don’t Want?
Here’s How to Stop Them.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) launched the National Do Not Call Registry to give Americans a choice about getting telemarketing calls at home. According to a recent Harris Interactive poll, 92 percent of people who reported placing a number on the registry said they are receiving fewer calls; a total of 78 percent said they’re getting ‘far fewer calls’ or none at all.
Q: What can the reader infer from paragraph 1?

• The DO NOT CALL Registry costs the government a lot of money.
• The DO NOT CALL Registry has been somewhat successful for its intended purpose.
• The DO NOT CALL Registry should have been implemented years earlier.
• The DO NOT CALL Registry has had no significant impact on telemarketing calls.
