This Mystery Rocks/ By Cyntha Schlagel
The Drifting Rocks are a strange phenomenon still unexplained by science. Located in Death Valley, California, the rocks sit on hot, flat ground. Unlike normal rocks, they have trails etched
behind them as if they have traveled across the sand. "some trails are only a few feet. "some trails are over a half a mile long. "Each trail is as baffling as the next.
The variety of rock movement has baffled scientists for decades. "Some rocks seem to roll as they move forward. "Some take unexplainable routes, 10Large ones have traveled past small ones
that have stayed still. 11Some scientists suggest that the rocks are pushed by wind, 12 others believe they slide on small amounts of Ice or mud. Iso far, research has not confirmed any theory.

Nuclear Power: No Need for a Meltdown

The ability to split atoms and harness the power released has been around since the 1950s. Nuclear power is a safe, relatively clean and renewable source of energy.

Considering the energy costs of the United States, it makes good sense to develop the American nuclear power industry. At present there are just over 100 nuclear plants in America providing 20% of our nation's electricity needs. No new nuclear power plants have been built since the 1970s. While America has neglected nuclear power plant development, other countries have enthusiastically utilized nuclear power plants to lessen their greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.

Modern advances in nuclear reactor construction and monitoring have resulted in safer energy production. Accidents that occurred in the past, like the famous meltdown at Chernobyl in Russia, are very unlikely in the twenty-first century. Nuclear power is safer than ever before.

Unfortunately, the initial costs in building a nuclear power plant are very high. Nuclear reactors can cost as much as eight billion dollars. Another challenge is that building plants that meet the safety requirements of the American public takes a long time. Financing such long term construction products is often beyond the ability or not in the interests of private commercial banks. Since banks are unwilling or unable to lend the money, the federal government should step in and finance construction. Other governments around the world justify financing nuclear power plant construction as a vital national interest; we should too.

Which of the following best states the author's purpose?

Group of answer choices

To determine the difference between energy sources

To inform readers about how nuclear energy works

To persuade governments to use more nuclear energy

To teach others about the dangers of nuclear energy

Read this memo which summarizes viewpoints regarding re–opening a section of a major street.

From: David Quan
Maple Township Council Member
To: Council Members and Interested Constituents
Subject: Re–opening Campus Drive

As you know, we agreed at our last council session to continue our study of issues surrounding the possible re–opening of Campus Drive, the public street that runs behind the high school campus. At that meeting I volunteered to summarize the arguments council members have received during open hearings and from e–mails, letters, editorials, and letters to the editor of our local newspaper. You will need to judge for yourself if I have held myself to the standard of a fair, objective analysis of the pros and cons of re–opening the street. I have done my best.

Those who are against the re–opening make the following points. The street, which runs parallel to the campus, would require additional crossing guards, an added expense for the township. Our local police would be needed to enforce the school zone speed limit, bicycle helmet laws, and rules for pedestrian walkways if the street were re–opened. Those arguing against the re–opening say that the additional duties could stretch the services of our already–reduced local law enforcement.– Others bring up the cost of repaving the street and repairing some sections of the sidewalks, plus installing the necessary traffic lights and signage. Finally, some residents point out the danger of re–opening the street which was closed in 2002 after two accidents on the street, one immediately before school and one following dismissal that sent several high school students to the hospital.

Those in favor of re–opening the street behind the high school also make several arguments. They say that the school and the township have experienced a population surge, and the community needs the street to alleviate some of the traffic congestion since it is only the section of Campus Drive behind the high school that is closed. Re–opening the street would reinstate the use of a major east–west thoroughfare. They also point out that the street would provide additional access to the high school campus since the street closure in 2002 also blocked the entrance to an auxiliary student parking lot and a second gate into the campus. Opening both of these would provide greater safety by eliminating the current traffic jams as multiple groups converge on the same area twice a day. This group in favor of re–opening the street says the current situation is dangerous with parents dropping off or picking up students, staff driving in and out of the same parking lot, pedestrians crossing in front of cars, and students—some only recently having received driving permits—trying to enter the student lot. Proponents of the re–opening argue that funds for repairs and additional police service hours could be raised through a one year property tax increase of about twenty–five dollars per household.

I hope this summary assists you as you weigh multiple viewpoints regarding this issue. Several places I have used the term "group" to characterize the opponents and the proponents of the re–opening. In truth, I did not find any organized groups, but rather individuals who fell into the pro or con camp—or as I called them, "group."


Assume a role, possibly as a township member or high school student. Use the information in the above text to write your own two paragraph argument in which you state a clear stance regarding the re–opening of the street, cite evidence from the text, point out strengths and limitations of points made, and anticipate your audience's needs.

Part A

How does Black Hawk use rhetoric in this excerpt to advance his purpose of condemning the white men?

The white men are bad school-masters; they carry false looks, and deal in false actions; they smile in the face of the poor Indian to cheat him; they shake them by the hand to gain their confidence, to make them drunk, to deceive them, and ruin our wives.

"I'm not looking for your treasure," Greg answered, smiling. "If you have one."

"What you mean, if I have one," Lemon Brown said. "Every man got a treasure. You don't know that, you must be a fool!"

"Sure," Greg said as he sat on the sofa and put one leg over the back. "What do you have, gold coins?"

"Don't worry none about what I got," Lemon Brown said. "You know who I am?"

"You told me your name was orange or lemon or something like that."
