Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine Jean Hopping.
Next Diane borrowed Mary’s cat, Whites, for a dress rehearsal of the big event. Mary told Diane that cats vent body heat through the tongue. To avoid overheating the animal, she recommended using cold water—and working quickly.
When Mary tranquilized her cat for its regular teeth cleaning, Diane made an impression of the little pink tongue.
She had to work around an oxygen tube in the cat’s mouth. But, once again, she was able to produce an amazingly detailed impression. It included all the spines that made the cat’s tongue so rough. Cats need the stiff bristles—called filiform papillae—to clean their fur. Diane wondered what the tiger tongue would feel like—a scrub brush?
Based on this excerpt, what is the author’s opinion about the quality of Diane’s work?
A.The author admires Diane’s high-quality impressions and castings.
B.The author feels that Diane’s castings are too rough and bristly.
C.The author insists that Diane’s cat study deserves an award.
D.The author questions the accuracy of Diane’s dress rehearsal on a cat.

Hattie stepped off the screeching subway train and lugged her possessions onto the escalator. When she finally emerged from the underground, she got to the sidewalk and looked at the landscape. She was used to flatness and green; the farm that they’d just sold had cattle grazing as far as the eye could see. There was nothing green in sight here as cement behemoths sprung out of the ground taller than the stalks of corn back in Iowa. People zipped in front of her with briefcases tucked to their sides as high heels clacked on the pavement. It was all so overwhelming, so loud, and Hattie put her hands over her ears to shut out the sounds of the taxi horns and the thousand different conversations. Her little sister Evelyn didn’t; she was trying to take it all in.
Her mother pulled out a map from her purse and held it in shaky hands. “According to this, our new home should be right here.”
Hattie traced her mother’s index finger to a building that was so high that she had to crane her neck to see the top.
“This?” Evelyn gasped.
Her father, the man who was never at a loss for words, didn’t say anything. He adjusted the weight of the three bags that contained most of the possessions they’d been able to bring on the three-hour plane journey that had uprooted them from their old lives and deposited them in New York City.
Her father struggled to open the heavy front door, and when they were inside, the smell of hundreds of different meals clashed in her nose: spaghetti, fried chicken, fish, and curry. They stood in front of a bank of elevators as Evelyn pushed the button for the seventeenth floor. When they entered what would be their new home, Hattie spun around in tiny circles as her father gave them the “grand” tour.
“Here is where you and Evelyn will sleep,” he announced. He pointed to a room that was half the size of the Iowa bedroom that was hers alone, the same Iowa bedroom where she’d had all her sleepovers and whose walls still showcased the crayon scribbles from when she was a toddler. She’d tried to scrub them clean, but they were more stubborn than she was, so they would be there for the new family that would be moving in soon.
Evelyn tried to sound excited. “We get to share a room!”
Hattie was grateful for her younger sister, for the way that she could always look at the bright side of things. Hattie couldn’t say anything in response—she’d been speechless for most of the trip. Instead, she followed her father down the hallway that was narrow enough for one person to fit through, maybe two if they squeezed shoulder to shoulder.
“And here is where your mom and I will be.” She could hear the forced excitement in her father’s voice for a move that he didn’t want to make either. But they’d had to sell the farm, and when this opportunity presented itself, there had really been no choice.
The tour was over as soon as it started—a tiny kitchen, one bathroom, boxy living room. The four of them would be sharing an apartment that was smaller than the drafty old kitchen in the farmhouse.
Without a word, they grabbed boxes and started about the business of unpacking in rooms that were inches away from one another rather than feet. Hattie walked over to a dirty square window in her new shared bedroom. She wiped it clean, hoping to see something that would remind her of Iowa, but the window only looked out onto more concrete and glass. A wave of sadness washed over her—the first crack in the numbness that she’d been feeling for the past month since she found out about the move. She turned her back and lowered her head so Evelyn wouldn’t see her, but then the sobs came, each louder than the previous one.
There was a hand on her shoulder. She wanted to put the smile back on because she knew it would be better for Evelyn and everyone else that way, but she couldn’t summon it now. She turned around and saw her blurry sister through tear-filled eyes. In front of her face, Evelyn was holding a folded-up picture of the whole family in front of the farmhouse.
“I miss it too,” Evelyn began, “but we don’t have to forget it.”
Together, they taped the picture to the corner of the bedroom window so they could see it whenever they wanted. Hattie pulled Evelyn close, knowing that a place would never be as important as the people in it.
Which two details should be included in a summary of "Home"?
Hattie and her family move from Iowa to New York City.
Hattie's sister Evelyn comforts her and helps her to get over her sadness.
Hattie thinks the view outside her bedroom window in the apartment is dismal.
Hattie hears the forced excitement in her father's voice about the move.
Answer:
A. Hattie and her family move from Iowa to NYC
B. Hattie's sister Evelyn comforts her and helps her get over her sadness.

The person with whom you find yourself identifying in a story sometimes depends on your own identity. With whom did you identify at the start of staples essay and how did it affect your reading of the full piece?
Answer:
As a woman, identifying with the story´s protagonist based on the first paragraph was complex. The beginning ('My first victim was a woman') made me feel like he was dangerous for those of my gender.
Explanation:
However, realizing that the 'victim' was actually a white woman discriminating against him for his race, something I have experienced personally because of my Latinamerican heritage, allowed me to identify myself with the protagonist, and therefore, I felt so much more immersed in his story.

Explanation:
Flashbacks can be a useful way to begin a story or fill in needed context at any point. Choose a book that you have read that you believe makes good use of flashbacks or flash-forwards; briefly describe how the flash is used. (If you are not able to think of a book, you may choose a movie.) Why was the use of these flashbacks or flash-forwards so effective? How might the book have been different without them?
Answer:
In the Hunger Games, I believe there was some good use of flashbacks and flash-forwards. There was one flashback from when Katniss Everdeen has to visit the mines with her class. When she smells the coal dust and goes into the shaft she is reminded of its danger and how her father died. Lots of flashbacks from the time her father was alive occur. They show that he taught her almost everything he knows, how to survive. How to swim, look for food, ect. The Flash-forwards are usually when Katniss feels like she cannot go on in the games and feels that people can live without her. She imagines Peeta winning the games and going home to his family in these flash-forwards. The book wouldn't be so heartfelt and personal without these flash-forwards and backs. These flash-backs and forwards help explain why Katniss feels the need to push through the game and her struggles.
Explanation:
hope this helps
Answer and Explanation: the person above is right also I paraphrased it into my OWN words for this 1, In the Hunger Games, I feel there was a few decent utilization of flashbacks and glimmer advances. There was one flashback from when Katniss Everdeen needed to go to the mines along with her group. At the point when she smells the coal dust and goes into the shaft she is helped to remember its risk and the way her dad kicked the bucket. numerous flashbacks from the time her dad was alive happen. They show that he showed her nearly all that he knows, the method for getting by. a method for swimming, looking for food, ect. The Blaze advances are typically when Katniss seems like she can't persevere inside the games and feels that people can live without her. She envisions Peeta dominating the matches and returning home to his family in these glimmer advances. The book wouldn't be so ardent and private without these blaze advances and backs. These glimmer backs and advances assist with clarifying why Katniss feels the prerequisite to emerge from the game and her battles.
