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."

Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."

General Gates's troops held their ground. Benedict Arnold, one of Gates's generals, argued for a counterattack that would smash the British force. Gates, outraged that Arnold would challenge his order, took away his command. But the rash Arnold saw a chance to strike a crucial blow. He galloped through the crossfire of both armies, inspiring his men. A bullet struck his leg, but he rode on, leading the final assault that shattered the British fortifications. If he had died of his wounds that day, Arnold would be remembered as one of the great heroes of the Revolutionary War.

The central idea of the excerpt is that, during the Revolutionary War, Benedict Arnold

defeated the British alone.
showed great courage.
was disloyal to the Americans.
became a general.

Read the excerpt from “Harriet Tubman: A Life of Toil and Triumph.”


After Harriet journeyed to the safety of Philadelphia, she met with members of the Anti-Slavery Society. She wanted to learn more about the special railroad that had helped her become free, and then she wanted to help. Without taking any time to enjoy her newfound freedom, she signed on as a conductor. Soon she was headed back to Maryland to guide others safely north.


Then in 1850, the United States passed the Fugitive Slave Act. This forced citizens of the Northern states to return escaped enslaved persons to the South. Remarkably, Harriet did not become discouraged. Instead, she conducted her passengers all the way to Canada—a trip of an extra three hundred miles! In all, she made that trip nineteen times, freeing her family and three hundred additional enslaved persons in the process.


What inference can be made about Harriet Tubman’s character?


She was tireless in bringing others to freedom.

She felt entitled to freedom and an easy life.

She was too busy to enjoy her new freedom.

She worked as a conductor to free her family.

HELP MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
