His baseball team, the Trail Blazers, had just won yet another series game; Owen, however, was feeling irritated.

Next, a thin, slimy arm reached out from behind the leaves. Then, a scaly, green leg.
I thought it was an animal that needed help, so I stopped to see what it was. I sat with the headlights on, waiting for it to reappear. I was driving along a dark road late at night. I don’t visit this side of town often, and I was having a hard time figuring out where I was. It was a dark and stormy night.
As I crept along the road, I got an eerie feeling. Something didn’t feel right.
As it crossed in front of my headlights, it saw me in the driver’s seat. I froze.
Soon, I saw glowing red eyes peering out at me from the forest.
As it came out from behind the trees, I saw that it was a huge beast!
It must have been about six feet tall, with sharp fangs, black claws, and a huge yellow fin down its back. Suddenly, it let out a piercing shriek. I screamed.
Then, I saw something move in the bushes as my headlights passed. My heart jumped into my throat!
I sat there, stunned, for a few minutes. Once I caught my breath, I put the car in drive and raced into town, and didn’t stop until I got to the police station.
It walked closer on its webbed feet, leaving wet tracks on the road.
It peered into the windshield. I was so scared I almost cried!
She didn’t believe me, but as I left I saw her put my statement in a big box, filled with papers, labeled “GIANT REPTILE SIGHTINGS.” “Oh, please. That sounds ridiculous. You must have just been tired,” she said as she took my statement. Then, just as soon as it appeared, it lumbered off into the forest on the other side of the road.
I ran inside, covered in sweat, and told my story to an officer.

Read the text "How Ice Cream Is Made":

Ice cream is a frozen blend of sweetened cream and air with added flavoring. This is how it is made commercially.

Necessary Ingredients:

Dairy products, including milk, cream, and butter fat

Sugar

Eggs

Flavoring

Approved additives to prevent ice crystals during production process

Production Steps:

Step 1: To start, the ingredients are carefully measured and then combined together. The dairy ingredients, solids, and additives are blended well to ensure the liquid and dry components are completely mixed.

Step 2: Next, the mix is pasteurized. This means it is heated to high temperatures to remove any bacteria which could be found in the raw ingredients. Pasteurization can occur at 155°F for 30 minutes or 175°F for 25 seconds. The temperatures used to pasteurize ice cream need to be higher than those used for milk because the mixture includes high-fat dairy sources, sweeteners, and egg yolks.

Step 3: Following pasteurization, the ice cream mix is homogenized. This occurs when the fat globules in the cream are broken down into smaller parts through vigorous mixing. Once homogenized, the ice cream should be very smooth and uniform, meaning free of bubbles. Now the ice cream will be easier to whip and will not melt as fast.

Step 4: The next step is to let the ice cream mixture stand for at least four hours. During this time, the fat cools and forms crystals.

Step 5: A special barrel freezer is then used to gradually freeze the ice cream. The machine also pumps clean air into the mix. This keeps the ice cream soft and allows it to absorb the different flavorings. Without the air, the mixture would become as hard as an ice cube.

Step 6: During freezing, flavoring can be added. Ice cream flavors have moved on from plain vanilla and chocolate to include hundreds of combinations using fruit, nuts, candy, cookies, and other baked goods.

Step 7: Finally, the ice cream is packaged and put into a blast freezer where the temperature is between -22 to -40 Fahrenheit.

Select the evidence from the text that supports the inference that pasteurizing is an essential step to making ice cream.

A. Following pasteurization, the ice cream mix is homogenized.
B. Pasteurization can occur at 155°F for 30 minutes or 175°F for 25 seconds.
C. The dairy ingredients, solids, and additives are blended well to ensure the liquid and dry components are completely mixed.
D. The mix is heated to high temperatures to remove any bacteria, which could be found in the raw ingredients.

Read this excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy" by Susan E. Quinlan.

Capturing and rebanding an adult gull is much more difficult than capturing a small flightless chick. Resourceful as always, Larry developed a special capture technique. He rigged up a tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing pole. Knowing the fight a two-and-a-half-pound adult gull might put up, he scared the bird off its nest and replaced its fragile eggs with dummy eggs. Next, he laid the noose around the nest and moved away. A trail of fishing line led from the noose to the fishing pole and reel in his hands. Crouching low, Larry waited for the return of the bird in need of rebanding. When the moment was right, he reeled in the line, tightening the noose around the gulls legs.

What is the author's purpose in this paragraph?

A. to describe what Larry does with the gulls' eggs

B. to emphasize the materials that Larry used

C. to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture gulls

D. to highlight how defensive gulls are of their nests

Read this entry from a blog about service dogs.


Lexie, an eight-month-old black Labrador retriever, is sleeping quietly at my feet. I can’t help but think that her soft, velvety ears and alert brown eyes would make her the perfect “doggie model” for pet magazines and pet store ads. However, Lexie will soon have a much more important job to do. In a few months, she will become the loyal companion and service dog for a young man who has been blind since birth. She will help him board public transportation, such as buses, subways, and trains, and she will help him safely cross busy intersections. Lexie will even help the young man avoid obstacles, such as high curbs and low overhangs. Like all dogs in our organization, Lexie has undergone months of specialized training to help a visually impaired person lead an active and independent life.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which details from the blog help the reader determine that its purpose is to inform?

the details about what Lexie is doing as the person writes


the details about what Lexie’s ears and eyes look like


the details about how Lexie will help the young man


the details about how Lexie’s owner will train her

Passage- You may have noticed that 12 new stoplights were added to the streets of Darlingham in the last year. Though there have been many complaints about slower commutes to work, that is a small price to pay for the dramatic improvement in community safety that has occurred. In fact, as a result of the new stoplights, automobile accidents at those intersections have been reduced by nearly 40 percent. Furthermore, studies show that the new lights have made the intersections safer for pedestrians. And for me, personally, the stoplights hold a special significance — they were manufactured at Wilson Smelting, the company my grandfather started almost 80 years ago. In closing, I think we as a community should thank the city planners for making the safety of Darlingham's citizens a top priority.

HELP!!!!
Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turned out to be the most significant event in our lives. If we had made it to the gym that day instead of the library, more than likely the streets would have swallowed us in the next few years. We never would have become doctors. Every­thing we needed to start on the road to success was included in one forty-five-minute presentation. And we almost missed it.

This was the first time that a path to my dreams was shown to me. Deep inside, I knew I could accomplish anything if given the chance. I just didn't know how to find that opportunity. That presentation showed me the possibility of reaching goals I had only dared to dream about. I think if a person dreams hard enough, sometimes a door will open to make that dream come true. Of course, it helps to be prepared to go through the door when the opportunity arises. We almost missed it.

We also had no idea that day that we were forming a pact that would last a lifetime. We just knew that somehow each of us individually might fail, but the strength of the three of us together just might be enough to succeed.

—We Beat the Street,
Sampson Davis et al

Based on the central ideas and details from the passage, write one to three sentences summarizing how the three friends changed and stayed the same after seeing the presentation.
