A student is writing a report for class about Veterans Day. Read the draft of the report and complete the task. President Wilson originally proclaimed November 11, 1919 as “Armistice Day” in recognition of the day that the Allied nations and Germany ceased fighting at the end of World War I. At this time, America honored its soldiers with parades and public meetings. Today, the largest parades in America include Macy's Christmas Parade in New York City, the Rose Parade in Pasadena, and the Saint Patrick's Day Parade in New York City. In 1938, November 11 became a legal holiday dedicated to the cause of world peace. It was still called “Armistice Day.” In 1954, however, the 83rd Congress and President Eisenhower replaced the word “Armistice” with “Veterans” to honor those who fought in World War II. Veterans Day continues to be observed every November 11 to recognize the sacrifices veterans make for their country. Select the sentence that does not belong in the paper because it does not support the paper's topic.

A student is writing an argumentative essay for English class about the need for punctuality. Read the draft of the essay and complete the task that follows. Why to Show Up On Time There are many reasons why our school should stress punctuality. Since learning how to manage time is critical to our futures, having students arrive on time to class would have many benefits. If punctuality were encouraged, this school would be a better place. Having a tardy rule is basic to enforcing punctuality, and our school does have a tardiness policy. It is not so much what our schools are doing, but what they are doing that's working. Do students really understand why being 10 or so minutes late to class is harmful to them as individuals? By being ready when class begins, students will be able to focus their time on learning. Revise the student's draft about the need for punctuality. Choose the sentence that gives the best evidence to improve support of the student's claim.

According to the US Department of Education, students who are in class on time have a better chance of earning good grades than students who are tardy.

Tardiness is defined as not being in the appropriate classroom seat when the school bell rings.

There are many schools in the area that have a tardy rule, including East Warren and Smithfield Middle Schools.

There is really no need for rewarding punctuality among the masses because students already know that they must arrive to their classes promptly as a school requirement.

Which sentence should Rose add after sentence 31 to improve the conclusion of her letter? (29) Learning to master martial arts takes effort and dedication, but the benefits are countless. (30) Improved physical fitness, mental focus, self-discipline, and social skills are just a few of the many benefits the martial arts have to offer. (31) And, you can practice on your own time, at your own pace, in the comfort of your home. Sincerely, Rose

Barry liked playing board games, but he hated losing. He hated losing so much that he would do whatever it took to win, even bending or breaking the rules. He'd steal money from the bank and hide it under the couch cushions. He'd skip spaces while he was moving around the board. He'd shortchange others money that they were owed and argue with them about it. Barry's techniques were effective. He did win most of the games that he played, but the people whom he played with were his friends and family, and it didn't take too long until they caught on to Barry's tricks. They tried to tell Barry to stop cheating. They said that the game wasn't any fun when he cheated, but he didn't listen. He continued with his treacherous style of game play, until nobody would play with him anymore. Which statement expresses a main theme of the passage?

Do not judge a book by its cover

Be thankful for the things that you receive.

Read the passage and answer the questions. A Rainy Day at the Farmer's Market I heard the honking of the horn as my dad's truck pulled into the driveway. Immediately, I knew it was time to stop playing catch with my dog. My grandmother called, "Matthew! Your dad is home. Please come help him!" I was disappointed. It was a cloudy Saturday, and I thought we would be able to skip the Farmer's Market. I had hoped to do what I wanted today, but no such luck. "Matthew!" Grandmother called again. "I'll be right there!" I yelled. "Please get the big umbrellas from the basement," Grandmother said. "It looks like it's going to rain." I still had to put on some shoes. I decided to wear my cowboy boots, but I couldn't find them. I looked in the front closet, upstairs, and by the back door. I could've worn my sneakers, but I really wanted to wear my boots. I knew that if I didn't hurry, everyone was going to be upset with me. Reluctantly, I put on my sneakers and went outside. By then there were only a few crates of produce that needed to be loaded onto the truck. "I could have used your help, son," said Dad. "Kayla helped me load all of this produce into the truck." I knew he wasn't happy with me, and I felt bad that my sister Kayla had helped instead of me. I started to explain how I wanted to wear my boots, but couldn't find them. Then I realized how selfish I sounded. Grandmother came outside, and I helped her carry a box of fresh baked goods. Once we were all in the truck, Dad drove toward town. The Farmer's Market was located in a parking lot behind the town square. Dad stopped the truck at the main entrance to check in. "Good morning, Bill," Dad said to the attendant. "What's the weather prediction?" "It's not looking good," said Bill. He directed us to where we should park our truck. Dad drove the truck toward our parking space, and then carefully backed in. We set up our table with fruits and vegetables on one side and baked goods on the other. Grandmother's homemade pies and cookies made my mouth water. "We'd better put up the umbrellas in case it rains," said Dad. I gulped. I realized I had forgotten the umbrellas. Dad, Grandma, and Kayla looked at me expectantly. "I'll be right back!" I yelled, and took off running before anyone had a chance to say anything. I knew that my friend Jose and his family were supposed to be at the market, so I searched for them, keeping my fingers crossed that it didn't start to rain. I ran past tables of flowers, fruits, vegetables, and even homemade soaps and hand-knitted sweaters, but I could not find Jose. Exhausted, I continued searching through the rows of tables. I reached the last row with growing concern. If it rained, our truck would get soaked, and so would my family. Finally I saw Jose. I ran over and almost collapsed. "Is everything all right, Matthew?" asked Jose's mom. I gasped for air as I explained how I forgot our umbrellas. I asked if they had any extras we could borrow. "Of course! Jose, please help Matthew," said Jose's mom. Then it happened: a drop of rain hit my face! Jose and I quickly pulled out two large umbrellas from the family's truck. Jose helped me carry the big umbrellas back to our space. We had to go slowly, being careful not to bump into anyone. The market had opened for business, and it was already crowded. We arrived just in time. As we opened the umbrellas, the few drops of rain began to turn into a steady drizzle. Dad smiled and nodded, seemingly pleased that I had solved the problem on my own. After we set up the umbrellas, Jose hurried back to his family. Luckily the rain didn't stop the crowds. But the rain sure taught me a lesson that day. How does the author develop the idea that Matthew takes responsibility for his actions?

Matthew stops explaining to his dad about the boots and begins helping

Matthew comes outside in time to load the last crates of produce onto the truck

Matthew is disappointed that he still must go to the market, even though it is raining

Matthew asks his friend to help him carry the umbrellas carefully though the crowd.

Which of these inferences about Matthew is supported by the passage?

Matthew enjoys eating his grandmother's baked goods

Matthew does not get enough exercise

Matthew wants to go to the farmer's market

Matthew does not care if his family gets wet

Read the student's paragraph about school lockers. Select the three sentences that contain spelling errors.

Lockers have been causing problems for students for generations.

When they work correctly, lockers provide a safe space for students to store there valuables; however, when they fail to work properly, lockers can create a nightmare for unsuspecting students.

Some students are tardey to class regularly because of their lockers.

Other students simply have to arrive in class without the proper materials due to locker difficulties.

I believe these problems could be solved if students took time to carefully arrange materials in the lockers and schools kept them well maintained.
