Read the following passage from "What Does American Democracy Mean to Me" by Mary McLeod Bethune and answer the question that follows:

As we have been extended a measure of democracy, we have brought to the nation rich gifts. We have helped to build America with our labor, strengthened it with our faith and enriched it with our song. We have given you Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Booker T. Washington, Marian Anderson and George Washington Carver. But even these are only the first fruits of a rich harvest, which will be reaped when new and wider fields are opened to us.

Which of the following is the best paraphrase of the above passage?

1. America is like a great farmland of amazing people doing amazing things. We have given our gifts to help this country grow and we will continue to harvest.
2. "As we have been extended a measure of democracy, we have brought to the nation rich gifts. We have helped to build America with our labor, strengthened it with our faith and enriched it with our song. We have given you Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Booker T. Washington, Marian Anderson and George Washington Carver. But even these are only the first fruits of a rich harvest, which will be reaped when new and wider fields are opened to us."
3. Democracy is great and we're glad to be part of it. We're glad to help America grow with our work, our religion, our songs, our authors, and our inventors.
4. Mary Mcleod Bethune says that when democracy applies to her people even a little bit, it's been great for the country. Their hard work, their religious faith, their songs make America stronger. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Booker T. Washington, Marian Anderson, and George Washington Carver are all amazing parts of this country. But there will be even more greatness when they have more rights.

Which sentence contains the main idea of the paragraph?
Now you can stop feeling guilty about that bite of chocolate you had for dessert. Chocolate has been found to be a cause of weight gain. But
chocolate does have some health benefits. However, don't reach for that chocolate cake just yet. Researchers found that only people who had
an average of one ounce of dark chocolate per day received the health benefit. Dark chocolate is full of flavonoids, which can help prevent
diseases. Flavonoids have been found to decrease cholesterol and reduce the blood clots that cause strokes. Flavonoids also boost a natural
chemical in your brain called serotonin. Low serotonin can cause depression. That's probably why eating chocolate boosts mood and feelings
of well-being.

Amelia Earhart


Courtesy of the Library of Congress


Amelia Earhart wasn't afraid to break down barriers. In 1928, she was the first woman to fly as a passenger across the Atlantic Ocean. Then, in 1932, she became the first woman to pilot a plane across that ocean. There weren't many female pilots back then, and her actions inspired other women to follow their dreams. This was especially important because there were few career choices available to women at that time. Amelia Earhart has inspired generations of women to do things that had never been done by women before.


Amelia Earhart Flies Across the Atlantic


In 1928, Amelia Earhart received a phone call that would change her life. She was invited to become the first woman passenger to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a plane. "The idea of just going as 'extra weight' did not appeal to me at all," she said, but she accepted the offer nonetheless. On June 17, after several delays due to bad weather, Amelia Earhart flew in a plane named Friendship with co-pilots Wilmer "Bill" Stultz and Louis "Slim" Gordon. The plane landed at Burry Port, South Wales, with just a small amount of fuel left.


Earhart's first trip across the Atlantic took more than 20 hours! After that flight Earhart became a media sensation. Following the trip, she was given parties and even a ticker tape parade down Broadway in New York City. President Coolidge called to congratulate her on crossing the Atlantic. Because Earhart's record-breaking career and physical appearance were similar to pioneering pilot and American hero Charles Lindbergh, she earned the nickname "Lady Lindy."


Earhart wrote a book about her first flight across the Atlantic, called 20 Hrs., 40 Min. She continued to break records. She also polished her skills as a speaker and writer, always advocating women's achievements, especially in aviation.


Amelia Earhart's Last Flight


After flying across the Atlantic as a passenger in 1928, Amelia Earhart's next goal was to achieve a transatlantic crossing on her own. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh became the first person to make a solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic. In 1932, exactly five years after Lindbergh's flight, Earhart became the first woman to repeat the feat. Her popularity grew even more. She was the undisputed queen of the air! There was no doubt she had accomplished a great deal. Still, she wanted to achieve more. What did Earhart do next?


She decided that her next trip would be to fly around the world. In March 1937, she flew to Hawaii with fellow pilot Paul Mantz to begin this flight. Earhart lost control of the plane on takeoff, however, and the plane had to be sent to the factory for repairs.


In June, she went to Miami to again begin a flight around the world, this time with Fred Noonan as her navigator. No one knows why, but she left behind important communication and navigation instruments. Perhaps it was to make room for additional fuel for the long flight. But without a way to talk to others or to figure out their course, they were taking a big risk. The pair made it to New Guinea in 21 days, even though Earhart was tired and ill. During the next leg of the trip, they departed New Guinea for Howland Island, a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. July 2, 1937, was the last time Earhart and Noonan communicated with a nearby Coast Guard ship. They were never heard from again.


The U.S. Navy conducted a massive search for Earhart and Noonan that continued for more than two weeks. Unable to accept that Earhart had simply disappeared and perished, some of her admirers believed that she was a spy or was captured by enemies of the United States. The Navy submitted a report following its search, which included maps of search areas. Neither the plane nor Earhart nor Noonan were ever found. No one knows for sure what happened, but many people believe they got lost and simply ran out of fuel and died. Amelia Earhart was less than a month away from her 40th birthday.

Read the excerpt from Team Moon.

The trouble with option 2 was that the venting might push the fuel to an unstable condition. Or, another possible outcome of the “burping”: what if the landing gear hadn’t deployed correctly? Could any movement, or any resulting burst—no matter how small—tip the LM over? Many a voice in the debate thought the safest option was to abort—now! But that opinion was quickly overruled by the Grumman and NASA leadership (who were confident of the landing gear), and the consensus of the leaders was that it would be safe to gently, gently burp the engine.

Why does the author use a problem-solution text structure in the paragraph?

A)to help the reader understand the astronauts’ feelings about the landing
B)to help the reader understand the intense pressure of the situation
C)to help the reader understand the similarities between the leaders’ options
D)to help the reader understand the process of “burping” an engine

“Blueberries”
by Frank Prentice Rand

Upon the hills of Garlingtown
Beneath the summer sky,
In many pleasant pastures
On sunny slopes and high,
5 Their skins abloom with dusty blue,
Asleep, the berries lie.

And all the lads1 of Garlingtown,
And all the lasses2 too,
Still climb the tranquil hillsides,
10 A merry, barefoot crew;
Still homeward plod with unfilled pails
And mouths of berry blue.

And all the birds of Garlingtown,
When flocking back to nest,
15 Remember well the patches
Where berries are the best;
They pick the ripest ones at dawn
And leave the lads the rest.

Upon the hills of Garlingtown
20 When berry-time was o’er,
I looked into the sunset,
And saw an open door,
And from the hills of Garlingtown
I went, and came no more.
1 lads: young boys
2 lasses: young girls
