REVISING (Passage 1)



Cheryl has written an essay for her English class. Read Cheryl's rough draft then answer the questions that follow.



An Adventure of a Lifetime



(1) More and more people are starting to look in places other than their chosen career paths to find meaning and satisfaction in life, and one of the most popular

ways folks are doing this is through volunteerism. (2) One specific kind of volunteerism, though, is becoming increasingly popular with people of all ages and stages

in life—volunteer vacations. (3) This kind of vacation, one where the traveler pays her own way and volunteers her time and efforts while on the trip, is being

embraced by people all over the world. (4) The best thing about volunteer vacations is that not only does the traveler get to escape her familiar surroundings and

see new sights, but she also comes home knowing that she has done something. (5) That knowledge brings a kind of satisfaction that a regular vacation cannot

deliver.



(6) Volunteer vacations take travelers almost anywhere across the globe to work on a huge selection of causes. (7) Worried about the elephants in Sri Lanka? (8)

Book a trip to its capital, Colombo, and journey to an elephant sanctuary. (9) Concerned about families living in poverty in Costa Rica? (10) Bring your whole family

down to help build new homes and learn a little Spanish while doing so. (11) Volunteer vacations can take willing helpers to the farthest reaches and most exotic

locations—some luxurious resorts are situated in areas that are steeped in poverty, so vacationers willing to spend half their time working can visit such places in

beautiful countries such as Bali, Mexico, and Brazil. (12) There is almost no limit to where adventurers can go.



(13) Perhaps the most compelling reason to consider a volunteer vacation is the feeling of intrinsic happiness and satisfaction of doing important, helpful work. (14)

Even if a volunteer cannot stay in the location long enough to see a project to its completion, just knowing that one’s work has helped people in need, brought vital

resources to folks who needed it, or helped to save endangered plants or animals brings a kind of pride and sense of meaning that simply spending money to lie by a

pool could never deliver. (15) This alone is part of what has caused volunteer vacations to become awesomely popular across the globe.



(16) There may be no better feeling than being able to visit an exotic location, learn something new, and return home knowing that one’s efforts have helped to

change the world. (17) Because the whole goal behind a vacation is to escape one’s usual, familiar surroundings and refuel, volunteer vacations seem like a win-win

situation with a promise of some kind of success for both the volunteer and those helped by the work. (18) For these reasons, a volunteer vacation is an adventure of

a lifetime.

Qestions: 1) Which of the following would best replace done something to provide a clearer ending to sentence 4?

gotten away from home

built a house

affected positive change

taken time to relax

2) Cheryl wants to add a better transition between the second paragraph (sentences 6–12) and the third paragraph (sentences 13–15). Which of the following sentences should be added after sentence 12 to help readers effectively transition from the second paragraph to the third?

Why not consider trying one of many different and exciting types of volunteer vacations available today?

Adventurers can go anywhere in the world that they can imagine.

Volunteers of any age can travel the world on a volunteer vacation.Volunteers of any age can travel the world on a volunteer vacation.

If benefiting others isn’t reason enough to try a volunteer vacation, imagine the ways you might benefit.

3) Cheryl wants to improve her word choice in sentence 15 to match the tone that is appropriate for her audience and purpose. Which phrase best replaces become awesomely popular?

skyrocket in likability

surge in popularity

change in recognition

increase in interest

What does domain-specific language mean? Provide examples.

The raft back and forth on the ragged sea as the frigid waters at its weathered hull.

Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

If any one thing in my experience, more than another, served to deepen my conviction of the infernal character of slavery, and to fill me with unutterable loathing of slaveholders, it was their base ingratitude to my poor old grandmother. She had served my old master faithfully from youth to old age. She had been the source of all his wealth; she had peopled his plantation with slaves; she had become a great-grandmother in his service. She had rocked him in infancy, attended him in childhood, served him through life, and at his death wiped from his icy brow the cold death-sweat, and closed his eyes forever.

Which line from this excerpt contains imagery?

She had served my old master faithfully from youth to old age.
She had been the source of all his wealth. . . .
[S]he had become a great-grandmother in his service.
[A]nd at his death wiped from his icy brow the cold death-sweat. . . .

Use the paragraph to answer the question.
People fear wolves. While some of their fear is sensible, wolves actually have more to fear from people than people do from wolves. Although wolves are strong and fierce, wolf attacks on humans are very rare. In nearly all cases, they occur only when people provoke or corner wolves. People, on the other hand, have regularly baited and trapped wolves from the earliest of times. In North America, ranchers eliminated thousands of wolves to protect their livestock. Trappers trapped wolves for fur. Farmers poisoned them and hunted them with dogs. By 1950, there were almost no wolves left in the United States. Finally, in 1974, Congress granted gray wolves protected status.
What saved the wolf population of North America?
(1 point)

A. Congress granted wolves protected status.

B. People avoided wolves out of fear.

C. People stopped wearing their fur.

D. Wolves became strong and fierce.
