Read this passage about seals and sea lions and then answer the question that follows:

From a distance, they both look like seals, but once you get up close you can actually see the difference. Seals and sea lions are both fish-loving mammals. Moreover, handy flippers propel them both through the water. But while seals have a tiny opening on the side of their heads, sea lions have actual earflaps. Furthermore, sea lions use their back flippers like feet to scoot along the beach. On the other hand, seals must wriggle and roll to get ahead. On the whole, when you visit a zoo or theme park, it's the honking, barking, funny sea lion you're likely to find playing to the crowds for fishy treats, earflaps and all.

In the passage about seals and sea lions, what is the purpose of the transition on the whole?

Lucia is paraphrasing this passage from Through the Looking-Glass to help her understand what she reads. However, the egg only got larger and larger, and more and more human: when she had come within a few yards of it, she saw that it had eyes and a nose and mouth; and when she had come close to it, she saw clearly that it was HUMPTY DUMPTY himself. “It can't be anybody else!” she said to herself. “I'm as certain of it, as if his name were written all over his face.” It might have been written a hundred times, easily, on that enormous face. Humpty Dumpty was sitting with his legs crossed, like a Turk, on the top of a high wall—such a narrow one that Alice quite wondered how he could keep his balance—and, as his eyes were steadily fixed in the opposite direction, and he didn't take the least notice of her, she thought he must be a stuffed figure after all. “And how exactly like an egg he is!” she said aloud, standing with her hands ready to catch him, for she was every moment expecting him to fall. Which detail does Lucia need to avoid in her paraphrase? .
A.The egg is Humpty Dumpty.
B.Alice expects Humpty Dumpty to fall.
C.Humpty Dumpty crosses his legs.
D.The egg has eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

Reread these sentences from Progress Report 10 (April 21) from “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes.

I’m not sure what an I.Q. is. Dr. Nemur said it was something that measured how intelligent you were—like a scale in the drugstore weighs pounds. But Dr. Strauss had a big argument with him and said an I.Q. didn’t weigh intelligence at all. He said an I.Q.showed how much intelligence you could get, like the numbers on the outside of a measuring cup. You still had to fill the cup up with stuff. Then when I asked Burt [. . .] he said that both of them were wrong [. . .]. Burt says that the I.Q. measures a lot of different things including some of the things you learned already, and it really isn’t any good at all.

Write a multi paragraph essay that explains which character’s opinion (Dr. Nemur, Dr. Strauss, or Burt) is most supported by “Does IQ Test Really Measure Intelligence?” and “IQ Tests are ‘Meaningless and Too Simplistic’ Claim Researchers.” Cite evidence from the both texts to support your response. Be sure to observe the conventions of standard English.

Don’t forget that you must restate and answer to create your thesis statement and follow with 1 or 2 reasons.
