The Angry Lunchtime
by Tirzah Tyler

"I really wish this place had a lunch buffet," Kevin said while he cleaned his glasses with the restaurant's cloth napkin. "That way, we wouldn't have to spend time waiting for the chefs to cook our food."
"I don't mind waiting," Alex said while he read a menu and scratched his beard.
Kevin put his glasses on and wondered when Alex was going to shave. "You don't mind waiting because you don't care about getting back to the office on time after lunch," he said with a laugh.
Still reading the menu, Alex shrugged his shoulders.
Kevin took a deep breath and began to read the menu. He thought about how his bank account was almost out of money. He had bought Alex's lunch three times in a row, and he hoped that Alex would not expect him to buy his lunch again. "It's your turn, by the way," Kevin said.
"It's my turn for what?"
"To buy lunch for both of us," Kevin said, hoping he did not sound angry.
"I can't," Alex said while he continued to scratch his beard. "Payday isn't until Friday."
Kevin sighed and removed his glasses. "Then why are we here?"
Alex finally stopped scratching his beard and made eye contact with Kevin. "I thought we were here because it is lunchtime; therefore, we will eat lunch."
"I mean, why are we going to eat lunch here if we can't afford it?" Kevin asked. "You take advantage of my generosity all the time!" he exclaimed.
"Are you two ready to order?" a waitress asked.
"Why don't you people have a lunch buffet like all the other restaurants?" Kevin asked harshly.
"OK, I'll come back later," the waitress said before she walked away.
Alex reached over the table and gently placed a hand on Kevin's shoulder. "Hey, man, you didn't have to explode like that," he said.
Kevin sighed and put his glasses back on. "You're right. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I'll apologize to her, too, after she comes back. Sometimes I get crazy when I'm hungry and broke."
Alex reached into his back pocket and removed his wallet. "I have a couple of dollars and some change with me. I know of a burger place down the street that has a dollar menu. I would be happy to buy you lunch today," he said. Then he added with a grin, "I'm planning to shave my beard on payday, in case that was bothering you too."
Blushing, Kevin said, "Thanks, man."

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
How do the details in this passage support the authors'
purpose?
Sugar is different from honey. It offers a stronger sweet
flavor, and like steel or plastic, it had to be invented. In the
Age of Sugar, Europeans bought a product made thousands
of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from
down the road. That was possible only because sugar set
people in motion all across the world-millions of them as
slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes. A perfect
taste made possible by the most brutal labor: That is the
dark story of sugar.
The comparison of honey to sugar production helps
persuade readers that honey is better than sugar.
The details about sugar's dependency on slavery help
inform readers about why sugar was inexpensive.
The details about the sugar's strong flavor entertain the

Answer:

The details about sugar's dependency on slavery help inform readers about why sugar was inexpensive.

Explanation:

In this text, the author explains that sugar was a cheap commodity during this time period. This was the case despite the fact that sugar was produced thousands of miles away. The main idea of this excerpt is that sugar was such an inexpensive good because it relied on slavery. By using free labor, production costs were kept extremely low, allowing for sugar to be inexpensive, and therefore, popular all over the world.

Answer:

B. The details about sugar’s dependency on slavery help inform readers about why sugar was inexpensive.

Explanation:

".. bought a product made thousands of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from down the road. That was possible only because sugar set people in motion all across the world—millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes."

Slave labor was inexpensive.

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."

Answer:

noun. a brave and noble character in an epic poem, admired for great achievements or affected by grand events: Beowulf, an epic hero with extraordinary strength.

It was the Greeks who first defined the protagonist known as an epic hero. These heroes of a tragedy must evoke in the audience a sense of heroism through legendary, awe-inspiring lore. An epic hero must be a man whose fortune is brought about by his own admired characteristics. Many of the famous Greek Epic Poems, such as The Odyssey and The Iliad, contain these larger-than-life heroes and their deeds. King Arthur, Beowulf, Siegfried, Gilgamesh, and Rama are all examples of epic heroes.

Hello!

Cats yawn because they have nothing else to do.

Until doesn't really make sense, so the obvious answer is "because."

Bill arrived late for school when he overslept.

There's no way to arrive to school while sleeping, so "when" fits the best.

The cat crept forward slowly until the mouse ran into his hole.

The goal of the cat was to scare the mouse, so "until" is the best choice.

Lucy was quiet while her little sister was sleeping.

You're trying to describe what Lucy does when her sister is asleep, so "while" is the only one that makes sense.

You clean your room after you have a snack.

I don't see how having a snack would make you want to clean your room, so "after" makes the most sense. Most people eat before they clean, and "because" just doesn't work in this sentence.
