Which claim from Selection 1 has insufficient evidence?


A)Major crimes usually occur at night.


B)Some cities offer flexibility in curfews.


C)Teen curfews can work if they are enforced.


D)Minor crimes can use up valuable resources


(the paragrapg)



1 Crime is a continuing problem in our society, and to combat it, we must engage in a variety of tactics to give the courts and law enforcement the tools they need to keep us all safe. One valuable tool is a teen curfew, a simple law that restricts when youths under 18 years old can be outside of the home.

2 The benefit of curfews is twofold—they reduce the number of people on the streets who might cause trouble, and they keep youths safe. Even good kids might be tempted to get in minor trouble late at night. Small violations can take up large amounts of police time—time that is better spent dealing with more serious issues. A curfew just takes away the opportunity for kids to get in trouble by keeping them at home.

3 While some teens may be irritated by such restrictions, curfews actually keep youths safe. An old saying goes, “Nothing good happens after midnight.” For young people, this is particularly true. Serious crimes often happen at night, and curfews can keep kids from becoming victims.

4 Many cities set curfews for 11 p.m. during the week. There is simply no need for teens to be out of the house after that. At that hour, students should be done with part-time jobs, sports events, or other activities. Some cities allow teens to stay out until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. However, most believers in curfews would argue that an earlier deadline would be much more effective.

5 Of course, children can always be out with their parents or guardians. The purpose of the curfew is to make sure teens are under some sort of adult supervision. This can take place at home or away from home, as long as adults are present. Curfews have been proven to work. A 1997 United States Conference of Mayors survey of 347 cities found that curfews improved safety in 88 percent of the cities that enforced them.

6 A teen curfew is not going to immediately end all crime, but it will help. In conjunction with other techniques, such as graffiti cleanup, educational and recreational opportunities for youths, and police intervention in high-crime areas, a teen curfew can help keep us all safer.

help ASAP pls!! Read the poem "Mother" by Lola Ridge. Then, answer the question that follows. Your love was like moonlight turning harsh things to beauty, so that little wry souls reflecting each other obliquely as in cracked mirrors… beheld in your luminous spirit their own reflection, transfigured as in a shining stream, and loved you for what they are not. You are less an image in my mind than a luster I see you in gleams pale as star-light on a gray wall… evanescent as the reflection of a white swan shimmering in broken water. Based on the figurative language used by the poet, which statement best expresses the theme of the poem? A parent's or guardian's love provides a light that reflects the brightest version of ourselves. As an adult it can be difficult to remember what childhood is like. Children sometimes take the love of a parent or guardian for granted. There are many things in life to be thankful for, including those around us.

A Helping Hand? Media Mix: Education STOCKHOLM, Sweden (Achieve3000, August 2, 2017). The syringe slides in between the worker's thumb and index finger. With a click, a microchip is injected, and just like that, another on-the-job "cyborg" is created. This isn't taking place on the pages of a dystopian science fiction novel; this isn't The Giver, Brave New World, or Fahrenheit 451. It's happening at the real-life headquarters of Epicenter Stockholm, an office hub for startup companies in Sweden. Since January 2015, Epicenter has implanted willing workers with microchips that are about the size of grains of rice. The implanted chips work like swipe cards; they're used to open doors without inserting keys, operate printers without pushing buttons, and even purchase smoothies without reaching for credit cards. Completing these everyday tasks requires the mere wave of employees' microchipped hands. Having high-tech capabilities within human hands may be fascinating, but the idea isn't new. Such microchips are already often implanted in pets. They can be scanned to provide information if the animals are separated from their owners. Some companies use microchips to track deliveries. However, the technology has never been used to tag employees on a broad scale before. In fact, Epicenter is one of the first companies in the world to make chip implants broadly available in this way. As of April 2017, it had implanted about 150 workers. "The biggest benefit…is convenience," said Patrick Mesterton. Mesterton is Epicenter's cofounder and CEO. "It basically replaces a lot of things you have, other communication devices, whether [they] be credit cards or keys." As a demonstration, Mesterton unlocks a door by simply waving his hand near it. The magic that Mesterton seems to demonstrate is made possible by a type of technology known as Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID). It's the same technology in contactless credit cards or smartphone payment apps. When activated by a reader a short distance away, a small amount of d
