Good afternoon. Mr. Secretary General; Your Excellencies, we are here because, right now, in crowded camps and cities around the world, there are families—from Darfur in Chad, Palestinians in Lebanon, Afghans in Pakistan, Colombians in Ecuador—who’ve endured years—in some cases, decades—as refugees, surviving on rations and aid, and who dream of someday, somehow, having a home of their own. We’re here because, right now, there are young girls . . . like my daughters . . . who are just as precious and just as gifted—like the 16-year-old refugee from Myanmar that I met in Malaysia—who’ve suffered unspeakable abuse . . . girls who pray at night that someone might rescue them from their torment. What evidence does President Obama use to support the claim that the child-refugee problem needs to be addressed and fixed? Select two options. Obama uses empirical evidence, since he names the specific countries where refugees live. Obama uses empirical evidence, since he uses a verifiable source in the refugee from Myanmar. Obama uses logical evidence, since it is reasonable to state that refugees want homes of their own. Obama uses logical evidence, since it is common sense that most young girls are gifted. Obama uses anecdotal evidence, since he shares stories about his visits to war-torn countries. Obama uses anecdotal evidence, since he shares a personal experience he has had with a refugee.

Which of these passages would most likely be part of an expository text?

Passage 1- What makes weather? Earth's temperature is partly responsible. Water vapor in the air moves from one place to another depending on temperature. Warm air rises, and cold air sinks. As the warm air around the equator rises, it moves toward the poles and is cooled. The cold air around the poles also moves toward the equator. While this is happening, Earth is spinning. The spin of the planet is called its rotation. The rotation of Earth is also important to weather. As Earth spins, the sun can warm only part of it at any one time. The other part faces away from the sun. It is cooler. As a result, the rotation of Earth creates constantly changing temperatures.
Passage 2- My plan is to refurbish cars and then turn around and sell them to people. There are a million cars that are dumped at wreckage lots, and I can use the money I get from my summer job to buy a car and the parts I need for it. Junkyards are a gold mine for parts, and they are cheap there. I can spend my free time putting the cars back together, and then I can sell the car to someone for a lot more than it cost me to fix it. I first learned how to work on cars years ago with training from my uncle. He was an expert mechanic on his farm back in the 1930s. Learning from him was one of the most beneficial and interesting experiences I had while living in California.
Passage 3 Hardware:- The parts on your UltraPro Laptop are guaranteed to be free from manufacturer defects for a period of one year. If you experience problems with your UltraPro, contact the help line at 1-800-555-1234. Software: The factory-installed software on your UltraPro Laptop is guaranteed for a period of 90 days.
Passage 4- Until this moment, I had looked upon the valley as my grave. I had seen no possibility of getting out of it alive. But now I found courage and began to plan my escape. First, I picked up all the large diamonds I could find and stored them in my leather bag. This I tied securely to my belt. I then chose the piece of meat that seemed best for my purpose. With my turban I tied meat firmly to my back. This done, I laid face down and awaited the coming of the eagles. I soon heard the flapping of their mighty wings above me. Then I had the joy of feeling one of them seize my piece of meat, and me with it. We rose slowly toward its nest, into which it dropped me. (from One Thousand and One Nights)

Then I walked into Mr. and Mrs. Frank’s bedroom. On the floor, amidst the chaos of papers and books, my eye lit on the little red-orange checkered, cloth-bound diary . . .

Quickly, we gathered up handfuls of pages in Anne’s scrawling handwriting. My heart beat in fear that the Austrian would return and
catch us among the now-captured “Jewish
possessions.” . . .
I opened the bottom drawer of my desk and began to pile in the diary . . . I told Elli, “I will keep everything.” I took the papers she was holding and continued filling the drawer. “I’ll keep everything safe for Anne until she comes back.”

Which sentence needs supporting evidence to show the impact that Franklin's work has had on many people?
Benjamin Franklin's Fascination with Electricity
adapted from the National Park Service

Benjamin Franklin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he retired to study its properties. Some of his research resulted in "tricks" that he used to amuse others. For example, he made a charged metal spider that moved like the real thing. He discovered new ways to generate, store, and turn on electricity. His design of lightning rods helped prevent untold numbers of structural fires throughout the world.
His famous kite experiment occurred in June 1752. Franklin asked his son William to fly a kite to which he had attached a wire on top and a key at the end of a string. Ultimately, the kite gathered an electric charge from a storm cloud. Franklin was then able to collect some of the charge and compare it to the electricity he had created in other experiments. He did not mention the experiment until October, four months after it took place, at which point Franklin did not clarify that he had conducted the experiment himself—an issue that has caused some people to doubt Franklin's story.
