My friends and I love spending summer afternoons hanging out at Silver Seas Water Park. Last year, the water park was closed for renovations, so we were extra excited to go back this year. After scanning our season passes, we headed straight to our favorite water feature: the lazy river. We've always enjoyed kicking back in our inner tubes, peacefully floating along the pool's winding path around the lush grounds. The sparkling pool water looked so inviting! We hopped into our floats and settled in for a relaxing ride. How peaceful it was, slowly drifting along . . . until we rounded a bend and were suddenly blasted with ice-cold streams of water shooting from the sides of the pool. Before we could recover from that shock, we were guided under a drenching waterfall—not relaxing at all! Apparently, the park has updated our beloved lazy river with some "refreshing" water features. Sadly, not all updates are improvements. Which sentence best summarizes the author's point of view about the renovated lazy river feature at Silver Seas Water Park?

The lazy river feature is no longer as relaxing and enjoyable as it was in the past.

With its sparkling water and refreshing features, the lazy river is better than ever.

My dog, Gigi, is so very gentle and sweet-natured that it's a little shocking what she does to her dog toys. No matter what the labels claim—like "the toughest toys for the toughest chewers"—she rips them to pieces within an hour, often within minutes. I've searched everywhere for a longer-lasting dog toy, so I was excited to try the newest one from pet-goods company HardBitten. It's called "Tough Stuff," and as the name indicates, it's a stuffed toy, which Gigi loves best. It's even shaped like her favorite animal to menace: the squirrel. Well, as advertised, this toy is virtually indestructible. After a week, it's still fully intact, nestled in Gigi's toy basket among the shredded remnants of her other toys. But alas, that's likely where it will stay. Gigi has completely lost interest in the toy; apparently, for her the best part of toys is tearing them to pieces. It seems the Tough Stuff toy is too tough, and what fun is that? Which sentence best summarizes the author's point of view about the Tough Stuff dog toy?

The toy is so difficult to destroy that it's not that much fun for some dogs to play with.

The toy is perfect for gentle, sweet-natured dogs who like to chew on something tough.

There's been a lot of talk lately about the future of our little town. Gull's Haven has certainly seen better times, and people often wonder, What does our town have left to offer? The answer isn't hard to find, even if it is in the dark. Just go outside at night, and look up. Very few places still have what you can see here: a dazzling display of stars and the Milky Way. Our town has a rare opportunity to be named a Dark Sky Community by the International Dark-Sky Association. The process could take years; we'd have to adopt lighting restrictions and establish dark-sky educational programs. It wouldn't be easy, but in return for our efforts, we'd get publicity that would bring tourists and businesses to Gull's Haven. People from light-drenched areas could come here for a dark respite under our beautiful night skies. Let's seize this chance to find a renewed purpose for Gull's Haven and preserve the wonder of our night sky for future generations. Which sentence best summarizes the author's point of view about the town of Gull's Haven becoming a Dark Sky Community?

It would be worth the time and effort and would help revitalize the town.

The increase of tourists who want to gaze at the night sky would overwhelm the small town.

When I inherited my great-aunt's piano, I was thrilled and inspired. I remembered sitting in her living room, listening to her play wonderful melodies and watching her fingers fly across the keys. I was determined that I would finally learn to play the piano, too. I tried teaching myself, using online instructional videos and different how-to books. I learned the basics, plunking out scales and some simple tunes. But I didn't feel like I was really making music. I felt discouraged. Maybe I just didn't have my great-aunt's musical touch. Eventually, I called Melinda Canon, a piano teacher recommended to me by a friend. From my very first lesson with Melinda, I felt the joy of making music. We played simple yet magical duets together. She gave me useful pointers to refine my technique and suggested easy but inspiring classics for me to learn. With Melinda's expert guidance, I'm finally learning to make my great-aunt's piano sing again. Which sentence best summarizes the author's point of view about piano instruction from Melinda Canon?

Melinda Canon is an excellent piano teacher who can help even beginning students find the joy in making music.

Melinda Canon's online instructional videos and how-to books are an improvement over learning piano by yourself.
