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.

The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely1 and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.

HELP!!!!
Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turned out to be the most significant event in our lives. If we had made it to the gym that day instead of the library, more than likely the streets would have swallowed us in the next few years. We never would have become doctors. Every­thing we needed to start on the road to success was included in one forty-five-minute presentation. And we almost missed it.

This was the first time that a path to my dreams was shown to me. Deep inside, I knew I could accomplish anything if given the chance. I just didn't know how to find that opportunity. That presentation showed me the possibility of reaching goals I had only dared to dream about. I think if a person dreams hard enough, sometimes a door will open to make that dream come true. Of course, it helps to be prepared to go through the door when the opportunity arises. We almost missed it.

We also had no idea that day that we were forming a pact that would last a lifetime. We just knew that somehow each of us individually might fail, but the strength of the three of us together just might be enough to succeed.

Read this entry from a blog about service dogs.


Lexie, an eight-month-old black Labrador retriever, is sleeping quietly at my feet. I can’t help but think that her soft, velvety ears and alert brown eyes would make her the perfect “doggie model” for pet magazines and pet store ads. However, Lexie will soon have a much more important job to do. In a few months, she will become the loyal companion and service dog for a young man who has been blind since birth. She will help him board public transportation, such as buses, subways, and trains, and she will help him safely cross busy intersections. Lexie will even help the young man avoid obstacles, such as high curbs and low overhangs. Like all dogs in our organization, Lexie has undergone months of specialized training to help a visually impaired person lead an active and independent life.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which details from the blog help the reader determine that its purpose is to inform?

the details about what Lexie is doing as the person writes


the details about what Lexie’s ears and eyes look like


the details about how Lexie will help the young man


the details about how Lexie’s owner will train her

Read this excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy" by Susan E. Quinlan.

Capturing and rebanding an adult gull is much more difficult than capturing a small flightless chick. Resourceful as always, Larry developed a special capture technique. He rigged up a tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing pole. Knowing the fight a two-and-a-half-pound adult gull might put up, he scared the bird off its nest and replaced its fragile eggs with dummy eggs. Next, he laid the noose around the nest and moved away. A trail of fishing line led from the noose to the fishing pole and reel in his hands. Crouching low, Larry waited for the return of the bird in need of rebanding. When the moment was right, he reeled in the line, tightening the noose around the gulls legs.

What is the author's purpose in this paragraph?

A. to describe what Larry does with the gulls' eggs

B. to emphasize the materials that Larry used

C. to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture gulls

D. to highlight how defensive gulls are of their nests
