Read the excerpt from the story Swimming with Sharks: A Galapagos Adventure:

Steven's parents were both scientists who were researching the endangered pink fairy armadillo, a species found in Argentina. Steven, his brother, Nick, and his parents had just spent a month living in a tent on the outskirts of the rain forest in Argentina. Because the family traveled so much, Steven and his brother attended school online. Doing homework in the humid rain forest with bugs bigger than hamburger buns flying around and an internet connection that kept cutting out was not Steven or Nick's idea of a good time. They pressed on since they knew how important it was to stay in school, especially if they wanted to be scientists just like their parents. As a reward for putting up with the uncomfortable stay in the rain forest, their parents had planned a family vacation to the Galapagos Islands once their research was complete. The boys were so excited for this new adventure since they had never been to this area of the world before.

The plane landed, and the passengers stepped outside. Steven could already tell that this trip was going to be amazing. The weather was less humid than the rain forest and the sun was shining. He grinned at his parents and took a deep breath before he started talking a mile a minute.

"I can't wait to meet some sharks!" he exclaimed. "I just know I'll find the albino whale shark. It's"

"One of the rarest sharks in the world, we all know!" interrupted Nick. "You've talked about nothing else since we planned this trip weeks ago!"

"Now Nick, be nice to your brother," their dad scolded. "He's excited, and he should be. Seeing a rare creature like the albino whale shark is definitely worth getting excited about."

"I'm excited, too!" their mom said enthusiastically. "I can't wait to see the giant tortoises. Some of them live to be centuries old. Who knows? Maybe one of them actually met Charles Darwin."

They took a ferry from Baltra Island to Santa Cruz, where their hotel was located. After dropping off their luggage, they were ready to see the giant tortoises in the nature reserve.

Select the detail from the passage that explains how the narrator helps the reader understand Nick's personality. (2 points)

Answers

Who were the two children the Spirit had under his robe?

The second thing that Scrooge notices about the Spirit is what Scrooge describes as "a foot or a claw" protruding from underneath the Spirit's robe. The Spirit opens his robe to reveal two wretched children, a boy and a girl. The Spirit identifies the boy as "Ignorance" and the girl as "Want," or poverty.

What did the Spirit tell Scrooge about them?

There was a girl and a boy. The boy is Ignorance, the girl is Want. The Spirit said to beware of them both.

How has Scrooge's perspective changed as a result of his experiences in Stave Ill? "

Scrooge changed in a number of ways as a result of his visit with the Ghost of Christmas Present, mainly because of the tactics employed by the spirit.  The Ghost of Christmas Present relies heavily on shock value to get Scrooge to change.

Dear…,

How have you and your family been? I hope everyone has been doing well and staying healthy!

I finally have some free time and some extra money, so I think I will be able to visit you soon. I worked part time for a while and was able to save up a little. I was an apprentice caretaker at a nursing home here in town. It was a wonderful experience, and I must say I will never forget it.

I had to help the caretakers in their daily routine with the seniors. We would do everything, even help them eat and bathe, if it was necessary. We’d bring them their food and medication to make sure they never skipped them. We would also come up with games and activities to keep them active and motivated, you know? There was this one afternoon when we played some instruments and even danced! You should have seen their smiling faces!

I feel changed after this job. It opened my eyes to the difficulties of growing old. Our bodies sometimes seem to give up, even though our minds may stay alert and willing to do much more. Seniors deserve much more attention and respect than what they usually get. I hope I can teach my children that in the future, when I have my own family.

Read the following text from an article. This excerpt is about Tituba and the Salem Witch Trials of 1692.
Who was it, demanded Hathorne, who tortured the poor girls? "The devil, for all I know," Tituba rejoined before she began describing him, to a hushed room. She introduced a full, malevolent cast, their animal accomplices and various superpowers. A sort of satanic Scheherazade, she was masterful and gloriously persuasive. Only the day before, a tall, white-haired man in a dark serge coat had appeared. . . . Had the man appeared to her in any other guise? asked Hathorne. Here Tituba made clear that she must have been the life of the corn-pounding, pea-shelling Parris kitchen. She submitted a vivid, lurid and harebrained report. More than anyone else, she propelled America's infamous witch hunt forward, supplying its imagery and determining its shape.
From Stacy Schiff, "Unraveling the Many Mysteries of Tituba, the Star Witness of the Salem Witch Trials." Copyright 2015 by Smithsonian Institution
Based on this excerpt, what can you conclude about Tituba and the Salem Witch Trials of 1692?

A) Tituba was scared of the devil

B) Tituba was the one who hurt the Paris girls

C) Tituba told her story with enthusiasm

Answers

Answer: B) Tituba was the one who hurt the Paris girls

Explanation: Tituba is one of the most important characters in the story, she is the first person to confess to the authorities that she made witchcraft. When the court reporters asked her who hurt the girls, she said it was the devil that came to her, then she started to describe everything she "saw" along with him, such as black dogs, red cats, and yellow birds. Therefore, after these illogical confessions, we can assume that she was the culprit of said accusation.
