About the FBI

Have you ever wanted to work for the FBI? Here is a little history on the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The FBI started in 1908. It was known as the Bureau of Investigation then. On July 26, 1908, the Attorney General selected ten Special Agents of the Bureau of Investigation. They were called the Special Agent Task Force. In 1933, the Bureau’s name was changed to the Division of Investigation. It was changed again in 1935 to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is known as that today.
All agents carry a special wallet that has their picture in it. They use this wallet to identify themselves to people when they are working. It is called a credential. There are two different kinds of credentials. They change depending on which division in the FBI you work in and your rank as an agent.
The FBI has changed what they investigate as the times have changed. In 1908, there were different crimes than the crimes that exist today. Also, there were fewer types of crimes than today. A good example of this is car theft. In 1908, almost no one had a car. As more people bought cars, the number of car thefts increased.
Many years ago, the FBI investigated crimes like bank robbery, kidnapping, and car thefts that go across state lines. Today, there are over 350 violations of the law that the FBI investigates. The different violations are broken down into several categories. The FBI looks into violent crime, organized crime, white collar crime, terrorism, foreign counterintelligence, civil rights, and applicant matters.
The FBI has many ways of solving those crimes and finding the criminals. One of them is through fingerprint identification. Fingerprints are a great way to tell people apart because everyone’s fingerprints are unique. This means that no two people in the world have the same fingerprints! Other ways of identifying people, like hair color, height, and weight, may change as a person gets older. Fingerprints stay the same no matter what.
There are over 250 million sets of fingerprint records on file. If all the fingerprint cards on file were stacked on top of one another, they would equal 133 stacks, each the size of the Empire State Building! Finding space to keep all of these fingerprint cards is difficult. This is one of the reasons the FBI is now putting cards in a digital format. That means the images can be stored on computers. All fingerprint cards at the FBI are eight-inch squares, a little smaller than a piece of notebook paper, and are thinner than a piece of cardboard. The FBI gets over 37,000 of these fingerprint cards every day, seven days a week! 32% of these cards now come to the FBI as digital images.
Not all fingerprint cards on file are of criminals. Some records are civil prints. Civil prints are taken of people who work for the government or apply for a job with the government.

last question sorryr

Read the text below. What is another statement the author could add to support their position? Schools should not require every student in kindergarten through 12th grade to play a daily team sport. Playing team sports helps some children learn skills, but some children are not athletic and do not want to play on a sports team. Values, such as respect, can be taught in academic clubs or even in music. Working in cooperative groups, or on public service projects, can also help children learn teamwork. With an already full academic load, schools do not have time to have students play on a sports team during school hours.

Okay 15 points! Answer fast plz!
Megan was running late for school. Only this time, it wasn’t her fault. It was her Dad’s.

“I know my keys are around here somewhere,” he said. “Will you help me look, Meg?” He’d been frantically looking for his keys for the last 10 minutes.

Megan rolled her eyes in response and pretended to look for the keys. She was too annoyed to actually help, though. Her dad had a bad habit of misplacing things—and not just simple things like keys or a wallet. It wasn’t uncommon for Megan’s dad to take the ice cream out of the freezer, go grab a spoon and bowl, and then forget where he put the ice cream. Days later, he’d find it melted in a random kitchen cabinet. At this point, Megan was fed up.

“Dad, I don’t see your keys anywhere. Are you sure they’re in the house?” Megan called out to her dad.

“Well, of course! Where else would they be?” her dad called back.

“Have you looked outside? Remember that time your keys were in the recycling bin in the garage?”

Megan’s dad chuckled. “Good point! I still don’t know how they got there, but I’ll go check in the garage. And in the trash can, for good measure.”

Megan smiled to herself. She really did love her dad, flaws and all. Suddenly, she heard her dad yell out from the garage. Megan raced outside.

“Look at this, Meg!” her dad said, gesturing to his car. “My keys were in the car, and it was already running. Did you start the car earlier to warm it up and forget?”

“No, Dad,” said Megan, fighting back the urge to roll her eyes again. “I’m pretty sure you must have done that.”

“I sure don’t remember. But then, I never do! Come on, let’s get you to school before I lose the car.”

Megan and her dad got in the car. “Just another day with my dad,” thought Megan, grinning to herself.

Select the correct answer.

A.

As the seedling continues to grow, it will bend toward the sunlight. The seedling develops roots to absorb water, air, and nutrients. The roots spread to the upper soil. There are many things that can threaten a seedling's survival: fire, drought, flood, animals, insects, and disease can all attack the seedling. At this stage, the seedling is very vulnerable and has a chance of not surviving this stage of growth.


Based on evidence from the text, which describes what threatens a seedling's survival?

Question 2 options:


Fire, drought, flood, animals, disease


Water, air, and nutrients


Bending toward sunlight


Developing roots to absorb water

Every fossil tells a story. A paleontologist is a scientist who studies fossils to learn what life was like on planet Earth long ago. Fossilized footprints help us understand an animal’s anatomy, size, weight and even behavior. We can see if it traveled in groups or tended to live alone. Fossilized teeth can give us hints about an animal’s diet. We can even learn about the landscape where a plant or animal lived. If there are fish fossils in what is now a desert, we might hypothesize that the landscape was once a body of water. Learning more about those fish fossils—like their age and what kind of water they lived in—will help us learn even more.

Paleontologist are most like detectives who use fossils as

A. clues.
B. theories.
C. suspects.
D. witnesses.
