The lack of affordable housing is a contributing factor in the problem of homelessness. What evidence from the passage best supports this conclusion?
A. Sometimes there are more people who need affordable housing than available housing.
B. The government is responsible for providing affordable housing to families in need.
C. The government builds housing developments for people who cannot afford to live elsewhere.
D. Poor people often have to choose between paying the rent and buying food.

Answer: A

Explanation: This answer choice supports the claim that people can’t afford housing because of its price not its availability. Thus, it suggests that homelessness is a result of lack of affordable housing, not available housing.

Read the excerpt from This Land Was Made for You and Me. Just after New Year’s Day in 1940, Woody set off on one of his unannounced road trips. He left his wife and three kids in a shack in Texas and headed for New York City. It was a long, cold trip in the dead of winter, and every time he stopped in a diner he heard Irving Berlin’s lush, sentimental song, “God Bless America,” on the jukebox. It was exactly the kind of song Woody couldn’t stand, romanticizing America, telling people not to worry, that God would take care of everything. The author illustrates the connection between Guthrie’s life and his music by explaining that Guthrie was not motivated to write music about his family or Texas. the song "God Bless America" convinced Guthrie that his family would be fine without him. the message Guthrie heard in "God Bless America" contrasted with what he was going through. Guthrie did not worry about things and did not write songs about the concept of worry.

1 I gathered my energies and launched them in this blunt sentence—

2 “I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world except John Reed; and this book about the liar, you may give to your girl, Georgiana, for it is she who tells lies, and not I.”

3 Mrs. Reed’s hands still lay on her work inactive: her eye of ice continued to dwell freezingly on mine.


4 “What more have you to say?” she asked, rather in the tone in which a person might address an opponent of adult age than such as is ordinarily used to a child.

5 That eye of hers, that voice stirred every antipathy I had. Shaking from head to foot, thrilled with ungovernable excitement, I continued—



6 “I am glad you are no relation of mine: I will never call you aunt again as long as I live. I will never come to see you when I am grown up; and if any one asks me how I liked you, and how you treated me, I will say the very thought of you makes me sick, and that you treated me with miserable cruelty.”



7 “How dare you affirm that, Jane Eyre?”



8 “How dare I, Mrs. Reed? How dare I? Because it is the truth. You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so: and you have no pity. I shall remember how you thrust me back—roughly and violently thrust me back—into the red-room, and locked me up there, to my dying day; though I was in agony; though I cried out, while suffocating with distress, ‘Have mercy! Have mercy, Aunt Reed!’ And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck me—knocked me down for nothing. I will tell anybody who asks me questions, this exact tale. People think you a good woman, but you are bad, hard-hearted. You are deceitful!”

STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt

THE MATCH

PLESE HELP WITH IT !!
There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.


Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.


In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

I know why the caged bird beats his wing

Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;

Adapted from The Cave of Gold
by Everett McNeil

I was up at dawn and found everybody up and awaiting eagerly the moment when there would be sufficient light in the canyon to make the climbing of the Big Tree and the entrance into Crooked Arm Gulch safe. At last Mr. Conroyal declared that the great moment had come.
"But," and he glanced around the group of eager faces, "we need one man here to stand guard. Who is willing to stay behind?"
For a moment, no one appeared willing to make this sacrifice. Then, with a smile on his face, Frank Holt offered.
"Reckon I'll stay," he said. "I'm not as young as I once was, and crawling along that rock is dangerous to legs as old as mine."
We set off to climb Big Tree. You may be sure that there were no laggards among us.
When we reached the gulch, Ham said, "Now, the first thing to do is to get down to the bottom."
"That looks easy! Right this way!" Thune began excitedly clambering down the rocks.
Soon, we all stood at the bottom of Crooked Arm Gulch. We excitedly looked around for the entrance to the Cave of Gold, looking in vain. In front of us the wall of the gulch had been hollowed out into a great overhanging arch, seventy-five or more feet in height and some fifteen feet deep.
Could this be the miner's Cave of Gold?
In a minute more, we all were searching for the hidden entrance to the cave on the back wall of the arch.
Thune stopped in front of a large flat rock that had fallen so that it stood nearly on edge, leaning against the back wall of the arch. "Come, give me a hand, Bud," he said to me, "and let's see what is behind this rock."
In a moment, we were tugging at the huge slab of rock and, at last, with a mighty effort, we pulled it away from the wall, revealing a black opening in the solid rock.
"Bravo!" I yelled.
"Found!" shouted Thune, and both of us made a dive for the hole, but Ham stopped us.
Ham thrust his body into the opening and began cautiously working his way forward.
In about five minutes, Ham came backing hurriedly out.
"Who's got the candles?" he cried excitedly. "There's a cave, but we must have lights."
Ham caught up one of the candles and, quickly lighting it, crawled into the hole again, holding the candle out in front of him.
Thune followed.
"The rest of us had better wait outside until we hear from Ham," Mr. Conroyal said, staring anxiously into the hole.
For perhaps ten minutes we waited, although to the uneasy and excited watchers outside it seemed more like an hour, because not a sound came from the hole. Then, suddenly, the excited voice of Thune was heard, booming out through the hole.
"It's the cave, the Cave of Gold!" he cried exultantly, his voice trembling with excitement. "Come in, all of you. There is room for all. I will hold my candle so that you can see."
In five minutes, we were staring wonderingly around us. The bottom of the cave was level and composed of a very coarse gravel, mixed with little rounded chunks of a yellowish metal that glowed in the light of the candles like thousands of dull yellow coals of fire.
Ham knelt down. In a voice hardly above a whisper, he said, "It is gold!"
At long last, we had found the old miner's lost cave of gold.

How would this story be different from Ham's point of view?
A.
There would be more details about what is inside the rock's opening.
B.
There would be more details about how Thune helped him reach the cave.
C.
There would be more details about the people waiting outside the cave.
