Read Zion National Park:


In 1917, Horace Albright visited the canyon created by the Virgin River in southwestern Utah. He was amazed at the beauty of the colorful cliffs. Albright determined that this national monument would become a popular tourist destination. The official name of the monument at that time was Mukuntuweap National Monument. It had been named in honor of the Paiutes who lived in the region. Albright thought that the name was difficult to pronounce and proposed a name change. President Woodrow Wilson renamed the monument Zion National Monument, which became Zion National Park in 1919. The number of people visiting the park increased from approximately 300 in 1914 to 1,814 people in 1919.


Zion National Park is known for its many hiking trails. The shortest trail leads to one of the popular destinations: Weeping Rock, a cliff face with a hanging garden. Over the years, water made its way through the Navajo sandstone of the cliff, traveling through pores and creating canyons. Eventually, the water encountered a layer of rock that was impermeable. The water was unable to continue down, so it traveled horizontally. At Weeping Rock, the water comes through the pores of the sandstone. The amount of water that flows out of the rock can be a trickle or a stream, giving the impression that the rock is crying. Vegetation grows in shaded areas of the cliff with water coming through the rock. As the plants grow out of the rock face, they give the illusion that they are hanging in the air.


In the last century, word spread of Zion National Park's many natural treasures, like the Weeping Rock. Roads, trails, and visitor centers were built. More people traveled to Zion in order to hike, horseback ride, and go canyoneering. The Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel was constructed by 1930. Visitors still use the tunnel to travel from Zion to the Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon. Now, park rangers are facing problems created by having too many visitors. Trails and campgrounds are overused and need repairs. Visitors are straying off the trails to create their own, thereby damaging the vegetation. Rangers are considering the best ways to protect this national park and maintain its beauty for future generations.


How did the improvements made to the park create new and unexpected problems?


1. The many improvements made to the park included the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel, which allowed people who did not value nature to visit the park. As a result, people in the area started visiting other national parks more than coming to Zion.

2. The many improvements made to the park increased the size of the facilities, allowing more people to hold special events at Zion National Park. As a result, more damage was done to the landscape by irresponsible visitors to the events at the park.

3. The many improvements made to the park made it easier to access the area and provided more recreation opportunities. As a result, the park's popularity increased, leading to huge numbers of visitors and the problems that come with them.

4. The many improvements made to the park made it necessary to start charging money for admission. Since people thought that the park was exclusive. More people wanted to come, so they could take pictures with the hanging gardens.

Read the following persuasive paragraph. In one to two sentences, explain how the author uses a counterclaim to help support his or her position regarding school uniforms. Be sure to use proper grammar, spelling, and mechanics.

"School Uniforms"

Requiring uniforms in public high schools has been debated for many years. There are certainly many positive reasons for having students wear them. If students were uniformly dressed, there would be less distractions about clothing, adding more focus on academics. Another reason to add uniforms is that there would no longer be conflict over how young people dress. There would be no singling out of poorer students who cannot wear designer labels, and young people wouldn't have to worry so much about fitting in because of how they dress. Opponents, however, say requiring school uniforms suppresses a young person's need for individuality. This simply isn't the case, though, as students can use hairstyle, jewelry, and so on to show their individuality. Requiring school uniforms would erase a number of conflicts and problems facing high school students today.
