Read the passage from "Carrots with Character," which
is an informational text about the health benefits of
genetically modified carrots.
The researchers, led by plant geneticist Philipp Simon,
haven't limited themselves to the color orange. They've
selectively bred a rainbow of carrots purple, red,
yellow, even white. Scientists are learning that these
plant pigments perform a range of protective duties in the
human body which is not surprising, says Simon,
since many of the pigments serve to shield plant cells
during photosynthesis.
Red carrots derive their color mainly from lycopene, a
type of carotene believed to guard against heart disease
and some cancers. Yellow carrots accumulate
xanthophylls, pigments similar to beta-carotene that
support good eye health. Purple carrots possess an
entirely different class of pigments-anthocyanins-
Which statement best explains how the author's use of
evidence supports the text's purpose?
The author explains that carrot-breeding has only
been done for the past 50 years.
O The author directly quotes research scientists who
have been studying the carrots.
O The author states that red, yellow, and purple carrots
each provide specific health benefits.
O The author writes that the use of differently colored
carrots in diets dates back over 1,000 years.

Suppose that you are working on a project where you are attempting to answer the following research question: What impact will new class size laws have on high schools? Two of the sources you have found on the topic are Source A and Source B (below). In your response, evaluate these two sources. Be sure to examine their credibility and their relevance to your research question. Your response should make a clear argument, use transitions to move between ideas, use specific details from the sources, maintain a formal style, and include a concluding statement. (15 points)

Source A:
"New Education Laws Passed" by Jim Jonathan, City News, March 15, 2012, page 1.

Yesterday, lawmakers passed a series of changes to legislation affecting the state's schools. The new laws will alter the ways schools do business next year.
Included in the new laws were changes in the numbers of students assigned to classrooms. The previous law allowed only 20 students to be assigned to each teacher's classroom in kindergarten through fifth grade. Middle school and high school classes were capped at 24. New laws remove those limits. Now the state will provide funding for one classroom teacher per 50 students attending the school. Individual school districts may use local funding to provide additional teachers or to come up with creative measures to reduce class sizes.
"We need to be more responsible with our taxpayers' money and children," said Representative Mike Davis. "We are in an economic recession and just don't have money to throw around."
Some parents disagree, though. "I can't imagine my six-year-old trying to keep up with his reading when the teacher needs to make sure 40 or more kids are doing what they're supposed to." said Pat Patterson, father of two, "I don't know what these people are thinking."
The new laws go into effect next month.

Source B:
"Really?" a letter to the editor by Marcia Thomas, City News, March 17, 2012, page 4.

As a tenth-grade biology teacher for the last 20 years, I thought there was nothing left that could shock me. Boy, was I wrong!
How exactly do these lawmakers, who probably haven't set foot in a public school classroom since they were in school themselves, propose that teachers manage 50 students at a time?
Teachers are asked to do so much right now. We not only need to prepare our students to take end-of-course tests in our subject areas, we also need to get them ready to attend college or go into the workforce. On top of this, we are counselors, and sometimes we are even the ones who feed and clothe them. We do all this because we care about our youth. We think they matter.
At the same time, we can do only so much. If we meet the high standards we set for ourselves under this new legislation, good health will be a thing of the past for us. Not only will we suffer, but the students will suffer as well.

Help me please!!!!!?????

Consider the passage and theme.

Liam's first job at the fast-food chain was not glamorous. He worked early-morning shifts, loading biscuits into ovens and dipping countless batches of hash-browned potatoes into vats of grease. Every day he encountered harried, impolite customers and complaining coworkers; nevertheless, he maintained a positive outlook. Liam methodically completed his duties: wrapping sandwiches, filling orders, and cleaning his work space. Liam's manager appreciated his diligence, and by his third month of employment, he was no longer assigned to the pre-dawn shift. Within a year, Liam was an assistant manager earning double his initial pay.

Theme One: Every job is worth doing well.

What other theme is addressed in the passage?
Saving money leads to financial freedom.
Customers should know their rights.
Hard work is often rewarded.
Cleanliness fosters good health.

Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince.

There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans. The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. And he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. And whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as Pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the Florentines.

What text evidence supports Machiavelli’s primary purpose to persuade readers that a conquering prince must destroy a former republic if he hopes to hold it? Select three options.

A. the list of cities Rome and Sparta conquered
B. the portrayal of Greece as being held by Sparta
C. the explanation of how Rome held Capua, Carthage, and Numantia
D. the description of liberty as a rallying cry for rebellion in former republics
E. the example of the Florentines losing control over Pisa

Write a paragraph describing the main conflict in the story and explaining how it demonstrates different cultural perspectives (not the sample answer and the story is “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan)

Select the correct answer.
Read this excerpt from President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address on January 20, 1961:

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Based on the author’s use of language, what is the purpose of this speech?
