Which answer choice represents the MOST useful resource for Hilaire in the following vignette?

The writer uses the word “unfair” in her description of the British government’s control over India. Answer choice "taxation" might be tempting, but the writer doesn’t suggest that taxation itself is bad, rather that the British are unfairly taxing the people of India. Answer choices "bravely" and "refusing" are not used in reference to the British, so they are incorrect.

The author's primary argument in the passage is that Thomas Paine should be remembered for the contributions he made to the American Revolution.
The passage begins by stating that Paine is "essentially unknown" to many Americans. The author then goes on to describe Paine's life and work, highlighting his role in the American Revolution. The passage mentions that Paine's book Common Sense was a bestseller and helped to inspire the Revolution. It also mentions that Paine's pamphlets The Crisis helped to keep up the morale of the troops.

The passage concludes by stating that Paine was an "extremely talented writer" and that his work was "influential". The author implies that Paine's work should be more widely known and that he should be remembered for his contributions to the American Revolution.

The other options are not the author's primary argument. The statement that "Thomas Paine wrote anonymously and therefore doesn't deserve recognition for what he has accomplished" is an opinion, not an argument. The statement that "Thomas Paine's later work was more influential than his early work" is not supported by the passage. The statement that "Without Thomas Paine, the American Revolution never would have happened" is an overstatement.

The explanation of the Monarchs provides details that show how difficult the journey is, which is something to admire.
To provide additional details about the Monarchs’ struggles to survive is incorrect. The purpose of this paragraph, and its content, is not focused on highlighting why it’s becoming difficult for Monarchs to survive. It is simply providing details about the migration itself.
To suggest that if the Monarchs were able to shorten their migration trip, more would be able to survive is incorrect. This paragraph does not contain anything that suggests it is even possible to change the migration patterns or if they would have any effect on Monarchs’ survival.
To explain how humans’ actions are having a negative effect on the Monarchs’ ability to survive the journey is incorrect. Although this paragraph provides information that is later used to argue how humans’ actions could impact the Monarchs, this section in itself does not provide information about human interference.

The final paragraph mentions this system as the one that “contains the oxygen that astronauts breathe during a spacewalk.”

The main point of the passage is that the area where Sara lives experiences harsh winters. This is evident from the first sentence, which states that Sara "could just never seem to make it home during the holidays." The passage then goes on to describe two specific instances where severe weather prevented Sara from traveling home for the holidays: a blizzard and a freak thunderstorm.

The author states that the scientific method is a structured approach to experimentation that ensures valid data. The author also states that experimenters should follow the scientific method to make sure their experiments are worth the time and to avoid corrupting their data and drawing inaccurate conclusions.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the author's point of view. The author does not state that we all use the scientific method in our everyday lives, or that an experiment is a failure if it does not verify the hypothesis of the experimenter. The author also does not state that too many experimenters blindly use the scientific method without exploring other options.

Therefore, the statement that best describes the author's point of view is "Using the scientific method is the best way to make sure your experimental data is accurate and valid."

The easiest way to solve this question is to visualize the moves: 1 block left, three blocks up, and two blocks right. The total distance from west to east is 1, and the total distance from south to north is 3.

Since the woman gave the man $5 at the end of the story, we can guess that she didn’t know the answer to her own question.
The woman and man had met each other previously is incorrect. There is nothing in the passage to suggest that the man and the woman knew each other prior to the flight. We can assume that they met as strangers.
The man did not really want to play the game with the woman is incorrect. The man obviously wanted to play the game with the woman or he wouldn’t have offered her $500 if he couldn’t get the right answer.
The man cheated when he tried to use his laptop to find the answer is incorrect. It’s true that the man used his laptop to try to find the answer to the woman’s question. But this was not mentioned or implied as being against the rules.

The example of the king is used to point out one way Swift used Gulliver’s Travels to highlight his own view of the ridiculousness of society. The king also believes England’s civilization has “many shortcomings.”

The passage says that the test is “reliable” because “the results aren’t affected” by other factors. Most likely, doctors view the test as accurate.

This choice shows how greenhouse gases are released from burning coal and other fuels, which people need for power.

Only the correct answer expresses an opinion. The other options are all expressed in the passage, but they are factual in nature.

The correct inference that readers can make from the final sentences of the third paragraph is "Thomas Paine’s writing continues to have an influence on America."

The paragraph states that Paine's book Common Sense was a bestseller and helped to inspire the American Revolution. It also states that Paine's writings were influential in the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. Additionally, the paragraph mentions that Paine's writings inspired the development of Social Security.

All of these facts suggest that Paine's writing has had a lasting impact on America. His ideas about freedom, equality, and government are still relevant today, and they continue to inspire people all over the world.

The other inferences are not supported by the evidence in the paragraph. For example, the paragraph does not mention that Paine became a criminal late in life, or that he wrote his greatest works when he was imprisoned. Additionally, the paragraph does not say that Paine's writing inspired hundreds of thousands of people.

Therefore, the most likely inference that readers can make from the final sentences of the third paragraph is that Thomas Paine's writing continues to have an influence on America.

Although any number of people could play in a volleyball game, the passage mentions that the entire class could participate in a game. Do all of them have to participate? No. But that wasn't the question.
