Rafael read the following information on the NASA website while researching for a report about the sun.
The sun is a star, a hot ball of glowing gases at the heart of our solar system. Its influence extends far beyond the orbits of distant Neptune and Pluto. Without the sun’s intense energy and heat, there would be no life on Earth. And though it is special to us, there are billions of stars like our sun scattered across the Milky Way galaxy. If the sun were as tall as a typical front door, the Earth would be the size of a U.S. nickel. The temperature at the sun’s core is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit.

Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether
On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.
Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

Passage:

Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father was a craftsman who had a workshop with many tools for his job. One tool in his workshop was an awl. It was a tool with a pointed tip that could punch holes in leather and wood. When Louis was three years old, an awl pierced his eye while he was playing in his father’s workshop. After this accident resulted in a serious infection, Louis became blind. Though he could not see, Louis was successful at many things. He made good grades in school, played the organ and cello, and had many friends. The one thing he felt left out of was reading. He was a curious student who wanted to enjoy the knowledge found in books. There were a few books with raised letters at his school, but they were hard to read. Louis thought there should be a better system that would allow people to run their fingers quickly across a page. He wanted to be able to read as quickly as people with sight. At 15 years old, Louis worked hard to make a code that blind people could feel on the page. For ideas, he studied codes used by the military. Finally, he created a writing system that used raised dots. Each letter can have up to six dots. The placement of the dots is unique for each letter. It took some time for Braille’s system to catch on, but now it is the main language blind people use for reading. Even with the invention of audio books and recordings, many people still use Braille to read books today.



Based on the selection, which statement about Louis Braille is most likely true?

A. He had a hard time learning music.
B. He liked audio books and recordings.
C. He thought reading was important.
D. He created codes for the military.

Read the passage below.
From How Do You Steer a Sailboat? Written by Krista Garver

Sailboats are very impressive forms of transportation. They harness the power of the wind to travel through the water without an engine or even any paddling! How do sailboats work, exactly?
The main pieces of steering equipment on a sailboat are the tiller and the rudder. The tiller is like a steering wheel. It is a lever at the back of a sailboat that is used to steer the boat in different directions. The tiller is referred to as the “helm,” and the person steering the boat is called the “helmsman.”
The rudder is a flat, moveable panel attached to the tiller on the bottom of the boat. It is like a fin; the position of the rudder determines which way the boat will go. The rudder is controlled by the tiller; moving the tiller to one side moves the rudder in the same direction. The more you move the tiller, the more the rudder turns, and the more the boat will turn.

Which quote from the text supports the inference that fish use fins to steer their bodies?
a)"The rudder is a flat, moveable panel attached to the tiller on the bottom of the boat."
b) "Sailboats are very impressive forms of transportation."
c) "The main pieces of steering equipment on a sailboat are the tiller and the rudder."
d) "It is like a fin; the position of the rudder determines which way the boat will go."
