Read the excerpts from "opening statements from John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon First Televised Debate."

Kennedy: I'm not satisfied to have fifty percent of our steel-mill capacity unused. I'm not satisfied when the United States had last year the lowest rate of economic growth of any major industrialized society in the world.

Nixon: We heard tonight, for example, the statement made that our growth in national product last year was the lowest of any industrial nation in the world. Now last year, of course, was 1958. That happened to be a recession year. But when we look at the growth of G.N.P. this year, a year of recovery, we find that it's six and nine-tenths percent and one of the highest in the world today.

Which statement best compares Nixon's and Kennedy's positions on U.S. economic growth?


(A) Kennedy argues that the U.S. government needs to prop up the steel industry; Nixon opposes intrusive government interference.

(B) Kennedy wants to slow economic growth to halt inflation; Nixon wants to encourage economic growth to make the United States more powerful.

(C) Kennedy believes that economic growth in the United States will decline without immediate government action; Nixon strongly disagrees.

(D) Kennedy argues that economic growth in the United States is sluggish; Nixon argues that the U.S. economy is growing robustly.

Answer:

The answer is D.

Ruth’s teacher has asked her to summarize the following excerpt from the short story “Useless Beauty” by Guy de Maupassant. Which detail is too minor and should be left out of a summary?
About half-past five one afternoon at the end of June when the sun was shining warm and bright into the large courtyard, a very elegant victoria with two beautiful black horses drew up in front of the mansion.

The Comtesse de Mascaret came down the steps just as her husband, who was coming home, appeared in the carriage entrance. He stopped for a few moments to look at his wife and turned rather pale. The countess was very beautiful, graceful and distinguished looking, with her long oval face, her complexion like yellow ivory, her large gray eyes and her black hair; and she got into her carriage without looking at him, without even seeming to have noticed him, with such a particularly high-bred air, that the furious jealousy by which he had been devoured for so long again gnawed at his heart. He went up to her and said: "You are going for a drive?"

She merely replied disdainfully: "You see I am!"

"In the Bois de Boulogne?"

"Most probably."

"May I come with you?"

"The carriage belongs to you."

Without being surprised at the tone in which she answered him, he got in and sat down by his wife's side and said: "Bois de Boulogne."

Through the character of Mathilde,
Maupassant criticizes the human
tendency to care too much about
appearances.
Mathilde, who is married to a humble clerk,
is unhappy with her middle-class life. In an
attempt to appear rich and glamorous, she
borrows a diamond necklace from a friend
but ends up misplacing it. The struggle to
pay for the lost necklace traps Mathilde in
a life of poverty.

What are some ideas for inventions that haven't been made and that can solve real life problems.

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

The Law of the Jungle, which never orders anything without a reason, forbids every beast to eat Man except when he is killing to show his children how to kill, and then he must hunt outside the hunting-grounds of his pack or tribe. The real reason for this is that man-killing means, sooner or later, the arrival of white men on elephants, with guns, and hundreds of brown men with gongs and rockets and torches. Then everybody in the jungle suffers. The reason the beasts give among themselves is that Man is the weakest and most defenseless of all living things, and it is unsportsmanlike to touch him. They say too—and it is true—that man-eaters become mangy, and lose their teeth.

What is the most important purpose of the narrator in this excerpt?

to explain that human beings are the weakest of all the animals in the jungle
to explain why Shere Khan will kill a human being instead of another animal
to explain why the animals of the jungle typically do not kill human beings
to explain how seriously all of the animals take the Law of the Jungle
