According to the rules of Standard English, which sentences reflect correct verb usage? (Select all that apply.)

He laid down after the game for a nap.
You have a fever and should lie down.
The decorations loaned an air of celebration to the cafeteria.
The team's morale was effected after the loss.
Thank you for lending me your notebook; may I also borrow a pen?
Please sit your books on the shelf, and then take out a pen for a quiz.

Answer:

You have a fever and should lie down.

The team's morale was effected after the loss.

Thank you for lending me your notebook; may I also borrow a pen?

Explanation:

Lay means "to place something down flat," while lie means "to be in a flat position on a surface." In this case, he is the one moving into the position, so "laid" is incorrect.

Same application as the previous phrase. You are the one moving into the position, so "lie" is the correct term.

"Loaned" means to lend something to someone. The decorations did not let the cafeteria borrow celebration.

Affected means that something was influenced or changed. Effected means that something was brought about or facilitated. In this case, the team's morale was changed or influenced by the loss, so affected is the correct term.

This is correct, as "lending" means to allow someone to borrow something.

"Sit" is used when talking about occupying a seat metaphorically or physically taking a sitting posture. "Set" is used when talking about an object or place. Because the books are what are being referred to, "sit" is incorrect.

Read the excerpt from "Protecting the Great Barrier Reef."

Located in Queensland, Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the world's most extensive coral reef structure. The reef has been evolving for over 15,000 years and is made up of over 3,000 individual reef systems. It covers a total area of 348,000 square kilometers—that's the same size as 70 million football fields! In fact, the Great Barrier Reef is the only living thing that is visible from space. The biodiversity of the reef is remarkable. It is home to many unique ecological communities, habitats, and species. Some of these species, such as turtles and crocodiles, have been around since prehistoric times. The reef contains 600 types of soft and hard corals. It also provides a habitat to 1,500 species of fish. 133 varieties of sharks and rays swim the waters of the reef. The region also hosts a variety of birds, whales, dolphins, and many other species. These species of the Great Barrier Reef and their habitats are deeply interconnected.

What evidence supports the claim that the Great Barrier Reef is important?

a
It attracts many scientists who are eager to research the reef and give information to Australians.

b
It has the most diverse collection of wildlife from anywhere in Australia or neighboring countries.

c
It is one of the largest coral reef structures in the world and is home to a variety of species.

d
It is the only living organism that is visible from space and pictures of it from space are beautiful.

Read the two passages.


Passage 1


Its stunning natural scenery makes the Great Barrier Reef a popular tourist destination. About two million people visit the reef each year. Most of those visitors are domestic tourists. This is largely due to the fact that Australia is so far away from most places. There are lots of different ways to experience the Great Barrier Reef. Visitors can go diving, fishing, swimming, and enjoy water sports. Some people choose to tour the reef by airplane or helicopter, and others may tour the reef by boat. Tourists can take in the spectacular scenery from a small dinghy or a grand superyacht. There are even glass-bottomed boats that let passengers view the underwater wildlife and scenery. Adventurous visitors may seek out one of the handful of havens where they can swim with wild dolphins. One of the major appeals of these activities is that most of them do not require special training or expensive equipment. There is no one way for people to experience the reef. Regardless of the activities people choose, they encounter some of the most stunning maritime scenery on the planet.


Passage 2


On our visit to the Great Barrier Reef this last summer, we discovered how stunning this natural wonder is. We weren't alone. Thousands of tourists joined us to take in the wonders that the reef offers. Though we were among thousands, many people, like us, were from Australia. It makes sense I guess, as Australia is quite isolated and harder to travel to. We just felt lucky to experience this amazing reef alongside other Australians and people from all over the world. There were so many activities to choose from. We decided to go snorkeling. We also took a ride in a glass-bottomed boat. We saw so many fish on that boat trip, and we even saw a giant stingray! After a long day at the beach and out on the water, we heard what some other tourists had experienced during the day. There was one thing we agreed on: the Great Barrier Reef offered some of the most incredible underwater scenery any of us had ever seen.


What information does the reader learn from Passage 1 that is not included in Passage 2?

1 The reader learns about a larger variety of activities people can do to experience the reef.

2 The reader learns about a tourist's point of view while visiting the reef and what made it special.

3 The reader learns about how glass-bottomed boats were made and why they are exciting for tourists.

4 The reader learns about which activities were enjoyable for tourists and which should be avoided.

Coming Mr. Squrials way is something unbelievable. It haunts him to this day.
It was an Occluded front!
It was the middle of fall when Mr.Squral was gathering food for the winter.
But suddenly, the air became cold, and clouds started to form. "It sure is getting chilly out here. Oh nuts, a rainstorm's here."
"But wait, I can't leave my food out here. They'll get soaked."
While Mr. Squral was debating whether or not to leave his food, it started to rain heavily. "Oh, what to do, what to do."
Five minutes later, the squirrel made the decision to run into shelter.
After three days of non-stop rain, the rain came to a halt. And the squirrel wanted to take a look at his food.
And when he came across them, they were sunken into the mud. And Mr.Squral wasn't having it.
"NOOOOOOO!"

A Big Year
By Bob Kowalski

Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?

If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.

A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.

You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.

Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.

This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.

You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.


Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me

Read this excerpt from “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe. Which two lines in the excerpt are examples of repetition?
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
