Select the correct answer. My mom is always repeating the same old joke: if your friends all jumped off a cliff, would you jump, too? Of course not. But I get what she means. She's talking about peer pressure. Teenagers like us live with it every day. Pretty much every kid wants to be liked, to have friends, to be popular. No one wants people to think they aren't cool. While peer pressure is tough, giving in to it and getting in trouble is tougher. But teenagers are still learning to make good decisions. Like this one time my friend Harold wanted to take his dad's prized Jeep Grand Cherokee for a drive. Harold was 13, and he'd never driven a car before. But he figured he knew enough about operating a motor vehicle just by watching his parents drive. When his parents were out of town one weekend, Harold invited me and some of our friends over to his house so he could take us for a drive. I said, "Not me," because I knew it was a stupid thing to do. I told him and everybody else what I thought of the idea. (Driving isn't easy. It took my big brother weeks to get the hang of it.) Harold got mad and told me I was being a chicken. I said, "I'd rather be a chicken than get in an accident and have a broken leg." What is the topic of this passage? A. Harold B. being popular C. peer pressure D. learning to drive

Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people. Which of the following statements best describes this paragraph? 1.

Read this excerpt from Federalist Paper No. 1 and answer the question that follows: Federalist Papers: No. 1 General Introduction For the Independent Journal Author: Alexander Hamilton AFTER an unequivocal experience of the inefficiency of the subsisting federal government, you are called upon to deliberate on a new Constitution for the United States of America. The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence of the UNION, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in the world. It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force. If there be any truth in the remark, the crisis at which we are arrived may with propriety be regarded as the era in which that decision is to be made; and a wrong election of the part we shall act may, in this view, deserve to be considered as the general misfortune of mankind. Based on this quote from the excerpt, with which of these statements would Hamilton agree? It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force. The new Constitution would be important to the entire world. The Constitutional Convention was ignored by governments all over the world. The forces that shape a country are more often mere coincidence. When the Constitution was complete the world's leaders were impressed.

Read the excerpt from The Code Book. A theoretical breakthrough would be a fundamentally new way of finding Alice's private key. Alice's private key consists of p and q, and these are found by factoring the public key, N.

Passage 1
"Big data" is becoming a buzz word of the 21st century. Technically, big data refers to a data set that is too large to analyze. Colloquially, big data refers to the ever-increasing amount of personal information that is collected by computers. Computers monitor and record our online habits, what we buy at the grocery store, our medical and educational records, and even our location. This glut of information has many screaming about privacy concerns. However, sensible protections can be put into place that will unlock the power of big data and positively transform our economy, science, and society.

Passage 2
The casual acceptance of the collection of personal data is one of the most troubling trends of the information age. Proponents of big data argue that the benefits outweigh the potential risks, and that proper regulation of the use of data can adequately control the dangers. However, it is very unlikely that we will be able to identify the right ways to regulate the use of data and to persuade the global community to agree on these regulations. Even if we could, what group or agency has the power to monitor the entirety of the Internet? It is far wiser to take immediate steps to limit the collection of personal data now.

However, sensible protections can be put into place that will unlock the power of big data and positively transform our economy, science, and society.

You want your persuasive speech to be your best speech of the semester. In order to make it great, you tell the students that sports' scholarships won't be honored next year.

Your speech persuades your classmates (most of whom are volleyball players) to demand meetings with their financial aid advisor.

Gentlemen," said Reverend Buckminster slowly, "there clearly are real dangers I had not anticipated." He looked at Turner, and Turner saw in his eyes—distrust. "Perhaps the Lord is leading you in your efforts. And if so, then what else could the minister of First Congregational say but that he is with you in this?"

"That, Reverend, is what we came to ask," said Mr. Stonecrop. "And it will not be long before Phippsburg is free from this sordidness, and we can start to rebuild ourselves. Someday soon, the settlement on Malaga Island will be no more. What conflict is developing in this excerpt?
