How does the falling action of the story affect the meaning?


Jerome realizes that it is better to give people time to grieve rather than force them to interact after a tragedy.


Jerome comes to understand how much it means to be present for others who are facing difficulties.

Jerome is disappointed when Martin does not acknowledge his efforts to help him.


Jerome learns that he and Martin have far more in common than he anticipated.

Answer:

Jerome comes to understand how much it means to be present for others who are facing difficulties.

Explanation:

The falling action is the part were the story is the most intense, so I think the falling action affects the meaning when Jerome comes to understand how much it means to be present for others who are facing difficulties. This is the falling action because this is when he realizes that he has to be present for others.

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman. But the journey was not yet over. Before they could be admitted to the United States, immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island, which became the nation's chief immigrant processing center in 1892. There they would be questioned and examined. Those who could not pass all the exams would be detained; some would be sent back to Europe. And so their arrival in America was filled with great anxiety. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as "Heartbreak Island." Which answer choice best paraphrases this excerpt? Ellis Island, the major processing center for immigrants in 1892, was called “Heartbreak Island” by the immigrants. If they failed to pass all the required examinations, they would be detained on the island, and perhaps even sent back to the country they came from. All in all, the process was frightening for an immigrant. Ellis Island was the main processing center for immigrants in 1892. There the immigrants were given exams and questioned by authorities. If they were not able to pass all the tests, they could be sent back to their homeland, or detained. Immigrants called Ellis Island “Heartbreak Island” for a reason. The United States government was unfair in the way it decided who could come into the country and who would be sent back to their native land. Instead of evaluating the immigrants so harshly, the officials should have been more welcoming. Before they could enter the United States, immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island, which was the country’s main processing center for immigrants in 1892. There they would be asked questions and tested. Those who could not pass all the tests would be kept on island; some would be sent back to their own country. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as “Heartbreak Island.”

Read this excerpt adapted from “A Brave Lad.” This story originally appeared in Chatterbox, a book of stories edited by J. Erskine Clarke.

Which line from the story supports the idea that Fred is a courageous boy?

It was Saturday afternoon when the boys of Wedderburn School went off as usual to swim their boats on a beautiful lake. Fred Langton had a new boat, which his grandfather had sent to him as a birthday present. It was a larger and better-constructed boat than any of the others. Each boy was, of course, eager that his own boat should win the race. Although all the boys admired Fred's boat and wished that they could have had one as good, they felt no grudge towards Fred himself. In fact, he was a general favorite in the school. He was kind-hearted, unselfish, and always willing to give anything that he had to his companions.

“I tell you,” said Bill Cowan to his own particular chum, Joe Morris, “that boat of Fred's will beat ours all hollow! I wish I had one as good!”

“Well, suppose it does win,” replied Joe Morris, “I shall not grudge it to him, for Fred is no sneak; he is out-and-out the jolliest fellow in Wedderburn School.”

“So he is,” said Bill Cowan, “and no mistake about it. Well, here we are at the lake, and now for some fun.”

On this particular Saturday, however, Fred was going to become famous in quite another way. The little boats were all in full sail, and the schoolboys were shouting with glee at the fun. Suddenly a fox-terrier took it into his head to chase the boats and show that he could swim as well as they could. Poor dog! It was quite true that he could swim. Unfortunately he got caught among weeds. He began struggling in the water and barking for help.

“Oh, I say, I can't stand this!” cried Fred Langton; “he will be drowned. I must go in and fetch him out!”

“No, no!” cried Bill Cowan; “the lake is quite deep just at that place.”

“Yes, I know it's deep,” added Joe Morris, “and, besides, you can't swim, Fred; don't be silly. Who cares for a dog being drowned?”

“I do, for one,” cried Fred, and dashing into the water he waded out to where the poor dog was half-standing, half-lying, among the choking weeds. Yes, the water was deep; but stretching out his arms he contrived to catch hold of the poor animal, and he quickly waded back to shore amid ringing cheers from all the people who had now gathered on the bank to watch the plucky lad. And whose was the dog? Nobody knew; it seemed, indeed, to have no owner and no home. But Fred and his companions carried it back with them to the school, and, after having told their tale, they begged the head master to keep it for himself. As Dr. Williams could not discover anything about the dog's ownership, he did keep it. So Fred's brave deed not only saved the animal's life, but procured a good home for it as well.

Mother Nature’s Fury
Tracy Wilson

1 Looking back, I was sure that I was going to die that November afternoon. Tornado watches in Alabama are as common as eggs are for breakfast. So much so, that I had begun to ignore them altogether. This disregard for Mother Nature’s power nearly proved fatal for me and my sister. As we approached a fresh red light on a main thoroughfare through Huntsville, I glanced at the sudden peculiar coloring of the sky. The unusual hue and the stillness of the air gave me a sudden sense of uneasiness. The light changed and we made the left turn that would lead us home. It was after the turn that everything around me seemed to be occurring in slow motion. I heard it before I saw anything. At first I was sure that a train or a big truck was directly behind the car. Then I saw the debris, not the image of swirling winds we tend to associate with a tornado, but trash and wires and dirt. I remember a sudden feeling of weightlessness as we were lifted off of the ground. Strangely, she lifted us up like a feather on a breeze. It seemed more like floating than flying until she launched us from her grip with a fury few will ever understand.

2 While I cannot remember the actual impact, pictures from the aftermath tell the story word for word. The tin can that once was a car was belly up in the top of a 100 foot maple. We hung there for hours, oblivious to the disaster around us. When rescuers could finally get to us, power lines made it too dangerous to touch the metal car. I awoke first 32 days after my ride in the sky and remembered much of the ordeal. My sister however, after lying in a coma for nearly three months, has no recollection of any detail from her life before the accident. Lack of oxygen erased her past. My physical wounds have long since healed, but I spend many hours below ground. The slightest hint of thunder or an awkward colored sunset sends me racing to my life below to hide from her.

Which sentence would be the MOST accurate summary of this passage?
A) Tornadoes are dangerous, unpredictable, and tremendously frightening.
B) Everyone needs to take tornadoes seriously and always be prepared in case of severe weather.
C) After barely surviving a tornado, the narrator now has a respect and even fear of nature's power.
D) Tornadoes and hurricanes, while often confused, are actually not the same type of natural disaster at all.

Excerpt from The First Tears — Based on an Inuit Folktale

Elizabeth Kibler


Once, a very long time ago, a man named Amak awoke in the morning and was very hungry—he wanted some dinner. Before the sun rose over the mountains, he left his family and promised to bring food home to them. Amak, whose stomach growled, knew his family was famished—and so was he. As he trudged along, Amak realized he had been walking for a long time. He wanted to find food quickly and take it home to his family.


Amak espied a large group of seals lying beside the ocean. Standing far away from the seals, Amak pondered how to catch one of the seals and lug it home as a prize to his family. The man became giddy at the thought. Then, he crept toward the large creatures; however, as he inched forward, the animals dove into the depths of the water and wiggled away from his grasp.


He collapsed onto the ground in sorrow. As Amak got up, he felt a feeling he did not recognize. Water started running down the sides of Amak’s face. He touched the warm water and tasted it. It was as salty as the ocean flowing in front of him. Amak felt himself making strange noises and choking as the water flowed from his eyes.

What do we know about Amak after reading the story?


A) Amak loves to cry when he's upset.

B) Amak cares a lot about his family.

C) Amak's favorite food is seal meat.

D) Amak is a skillful and capable hunter.

Read the passage.

Rain forests are home to many types of plants, trees, and wild animals. These plants and trees are all very important parts of the ecosystem and the survival of rain forest animals. Deforestation makes the availability of food, shelter, and safety rare for the plants and animals. Without security of the trees, these plants and animals become helpless and endangered.

Vulnerability to Sunlight

The high trees and leaves create a shield and give shade to the plants and animals. Without the protection of the tall trees, a rain forest can't stay at a proper temperature. Many of the plants and animals are unable to handle the change in temperatures. During the day, the trees shade the plants and animals from the hot sun. In the evening, when the temperatures go down, the trees keep the warmth inside. Therefore, these trees are very important because they keep the temperature normal for the plants and animals.

Vulnerability to Dehydration

The dense trees of the rainforest protect plants and animals from the hot sun, but they also maintain bodies of water. Without the protection of the trees, the temperature begins to rise. This means that the soil and streams in the rain forest dry up due to evaporation. This loss of water results in the dehydration of both animals and plants. Without water, nothing is able to survive. Everything needs water to grow and survive. When plants are not able to grow, the wild animals that eat the plants starve.

The two main ideas from the passage are that trees create a shield to protect plants and animals from the sunlight, and trees in the rainforest are responsible for maintaining a water supply for plants and animals. Select the best group of sentences from the text that support these ideas.

A. "Deforestation makes the availability of food, shelter, and safety rare for the plants and animals." . . . "This loss of water results in the dehydration of both animals and plants."
B. "During the day, the trees shade the plants and animals from the hot sun." . . . "The dense trees of the rainforest protect plants and animals from the hot sun, but they also maintain bodies of water."
C. "In the evening, when the temperatures go down, the trees keep the warmth inside." . . . "The dense trees of the rainforest protect plants and animals from the hot sun. . . "
D. "These plants and trees are all very important parts of the ecosystem and the survival of rain forest animals." . . . "Without the protection of the trees, the temperature begins to rise."

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.

Colony Collapse Disorder

In 2006, beekeepers throughout the United States began to notice something new—and troubling. Adult honeybees, known as worker bees, were disappearing from their hives, seemingly abandoning them. Few or no dead bees were found in the hives, while the queen and larvae were alive and well but without the swarm of worker bees that typically attended them to keep them alive. What had happened?

The phenomenon became so widespread that it soon received a name, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) . There was no denying that CCD was a problem; after all, American agriculture depends on the work of honeybees and other pollinators. At least three-quarters of the crops grown in the United States depend on honeybee pollination for their survival. These include such staples as strawberries, blueberries, apples, broccoli, asparagus, and almonds. Without them, both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.

But what is causing this problem? Scientists have rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers. Sadly, nothing has shown to be the cause of the problem. The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms. These have been found in larger numbers in colonies affected by CCD than in those unaffected. But these pathogens have included various viruses and bacteria, some found in greater concentrations in different parts of the country. If CCD is caused by a single disease, identifying that disease will be difficult.

The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causes—pathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss. Efforts to prevent colony loss have been mildly successful. The number lost has declined each year since 2008. But until a solution to this problem is found, CCD will remain a concern that will threaten not only the future of bees, but also of the people who rely on the food that they help produce.

Question 1
Part A

Which inference can be made about the cause of CCD in “Colony Collapse Disorder”?


It is very complex and will be challenging to overcome.

It will impact humans and affect their health in the future.

It is a threat that needs to be identified as soon as possible.

It affects bees most seriously but threatens other pollinators also.

Part B

Which statement from "Colony Collapse Disorder" best supports the answer in Part A?


“The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causes—pathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss.”

“Without [honeybees], both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.”

“The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms.”

“Scientists rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers.”
