[PART A]

Which point of view does the narrator use in the passage?

Fern came almost every day to visit him. . . . Here she sat quietly during the long afternoons, thinking and listening and watching Wilbur. The sheep soon got to know her and trust her. So did the geese, who lived with the sheep. All the animals trusted her, she was so quiet and friendly. . . . It made her happy just to be near the pig, and it made Wilbur happy to know that she was sitting there, right outside his pen.

Which author's purpose is suggested by the text?

Hillsboro's softball team suffered its first loss of the season on May 3, losing 2–1 to Newton's tenth-ranked team. It was Hillsboro's first loss in sixteen games.

Hillsboro did put in a strong showing. Hillsboro's pitcher was in top form, striking out fifteen, walking two, and yielding only two hits. However, Hillsboro struggled to get hits off of Newton's junior pitcher, who yielded only five hits. Newton scored the game-winner in the bottom of the eighth inning. With two down, a batter walked, advanced on a base hit, and scored when an outfielder dropped the ball.

"Sometimes you have to lose to put things in perspective," Hillsboro's Coach Hanson said.

You want to hear something really dumb?

The State of Ohio has put into effect a "Buy Ohio" law, saying that any state agency has to buy things made in Ohio, even if they cost more and aren't as good as the same things made someplace else.

By implication, the law suggests that the ordinary citizens of Ohio, as well as government agencies, ought to buy products made in their own state.

The governor of Ohio explained what he thought was the necessity for the law by saying, "We have a lot of unemployment."

This makes Ohio different? Every state has a lot of unemployment.

Which author's purpose is suggested by the text?

I am quite concerned about the harmful effects of coal mining in our community. Coal mining threatens the health and safety of everyone who lives in Hampton.

Every year, local coal mining operations emit mercury, lead, and other toxic substances that pollute our air and water. On top of that, the burning of coal puts tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, "Coal plants are the nation's top source of carbon dioxide emissions, the primary cause of global warming."

We can shift our community away from coal and toward clean, renewable sources of energy like wind and solar power. The time to act is now!
