Read the excerpt from Panic in Washington Square Park.

The only obstacle keeping Cassandra from fully enjoying the beauty of this glorious day was her mother's absence. Every Wednesday afternoon, Cam, their golden retriever, joined the Doggy Daycare group for an afternoon in Washington Square Park. During that time, Cassandra and her mother spent time together by seeing a Broadway performance, munching on delicacies from a food truck, or walking through a public park. Afterward, Cassandra waited for five minutes by the fountain, while her mother, Carol, picked up Cam from the dog run. She always took this time to enjoy the beautiful day and watch all of the interesting people. Cassandra's brow furrowed as she looked at her watch. Her mother had departed to retrieve their furry pet over twenty minutes ago, an unprecedented amount of time, even for her mother.

Cassandra gazed toward the location of the dog park. If her mother or Cam were in trouble, Cassandra needed to help. She strode toward the area for canines with purposeful, determined steps. The air was cooler under the shade of the park's trees. The closer Cassandra got to the dog park, the louder the barks of the dogs became. One noise rose above the rest as she got closer to the dog run.

How do the events in the first paragraph contribute to the reader's understanding of Cassandra's actions in the next paragraph?

Cassandra ate delicacies from a food truck, which led to her decision to leave the park and go get more.
Cassandra got too much sun, which led to her decision to stand in the shade of the trees, away from the fountain.
Cassandra picked up Cam from the dog run, which led to her decision to find Carol and take Cam for a quick walk.
Cassandra realized that her mother was taking too long to pick up Cam, which led to her decision to go help.

Nonfiction: In mid-November, 1805, Lewis and Clark and their Corps of Discovery finally reached the Pacific Ocean. The expedition had left St. Louis over a year and a half earlier in order to locate the mythical "Northwest Passage," supposedly a series of rivers that would connect the east and west coasts of North America. But it didn't exist, and instead they came upon the jagged peaks of the Rocky Mountains and found only great hardship and suffering. But they persevered and pushed forward to the Pacific, where they hoped to find passage home by ship. With none to be found, they constructed Fort Clatsop and waited through another bitter winter, suffering more misery and sickness, until the weather broke and the Corps of Discovery headed east for St. Louis in late March 1806.
Fiction: The men of the Corps of Discovery scrambled down the sandy dune like children romping in a snowstorm. They charged toward the endless expanse of grey, churning water, as if touching it could erase the struggle and suffering of the last eighteen months. One by one, though, their heads moved from the hypnotic, lapping surf to the space just above the horizon line, searching for a mast or a sail, or any sign of a sailing vessel moving in the distance. And when none could be found, each face glazed over with the understanding that the journey they thought was complete was only halfway done. One by one they turned from the rhythmic, lulling Pacific and faced east, looking at the thick forests and angry mountains they had hoped never to enter again.

Read the following excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.

Now, Tabaqui knew as well as any one else that there is nothing so unlucky as to compliment children to their faces; and it pleased him to see Mother and Father Wolf look uncomfortable.

Tabaqui sat still, rejoicing in the mischief that he had made, and then he said spitefully:

"Shere Khan, the Big One, has shifted his hunting-grounds. He will hunt among these hills during the next moon, so he has told me."

How does the shift to Tabaqui’s point of view affect his characterization?

It makes it easier for readers to like him.
It shows readers just how devious he really is.
It shows readers Father Wolf’s perception of him.
It makes Tabaqui appear stronger than Father Wolf.

All made of the back-bedroom chairs
And filled it full of sofa pillows
To go a-sailing on the billows.

And water in the nursery pails;
And Tom said, "Let us also take
An apple and a slice of cake";—

To go a-sailing on, till tea.

Due friday 9AM:When howling winds whip up in Earth’s largest deserts, it’s time to head for cover. Billowing gusts kick up sand, forming walls of fast-moving dust that can block the sun. “You can’t see anything that’s more than a few meters away,” says Joseph Prospero, an atmospheric chemist at Florida’s University of Miami, who studies dust storms. Grains of sand pelt against your skin like thousands of piercing needles, and musty-smelling grit coats your mouth and nostrils. “The amount of dust that gets in the air feels suffocating,” says Prospero. For people who live in and around the deserts along Earth’s midsection—such as Central Asia’s Gobi Desert and Africa’s Sahara Desert—dust storms frequently disrupt daily routines. “When a storm kicks up, you just have to go inside and wait it out,” says Prospero. But scientists have discovered that the effects of dust storms extend much farther than the deserts’ sandy borders. Global winds lift dust from Asia and Africa and carry it to other continents thousands of miles away, including North America. Now, many scientists are concerned that the grimy visitor may be putting people and other organisms in danger. Hoping to learn more about the storms’ potential health risks, researchers are following the dust trails. WORLD TOUR During the Asian dust storm season—from March through May—winds frequently blow dust clouds eastward across the Pacific Ocean. In just a week, the dust can complete a journey from Asia, over the Pacific, and across the entire United States. As Asia’s storms settle, windstorms begin kicking up dust in Africa’s deserts. Between May and October, African dust drifts westward across the Atlantic Ocean, making its way toward the southeastern coast of the U.S. and islands in the Caribbean Sea. FOUL CLOUDS The billows of traveling dust disrupt air quality—creating hazy skies along their routes. Eventually, the winds slow and can no longer keep the sandy particles airborne. The dust drops from the sky, depositing a gritty film on every exposed surface. Studies have shown that this falling desert dust is actually an important nutrient for plants. “Researchers think that rain forests in the northern Hawaiian Islands are nurtured by Asian dust events,” says Dale Griffin, a microbiologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. 5 10 15
