Dear Ms. Pembroke:
The marching band is planning its annual trip to Florida for a parade and contests. This trip is something that the band members anticipate each year. To prepare for the journey, the members of the band have raised funds to cover their expenses.
The band director, Ms. Lantzy, will be coming on the trip; however, we still need more volunteers. Because you have worked with the band in the past, I believe you would make a wonderful chaperone.
Please consider joining the Smithfield Middle School marching band on our trip to Florida. I believe you would be a wonderful candidate for the position, and I look forward to speaking with you about the trip.
Sincerely,

Read the following passage from Freedom of Expression in the United States:
History has shown that curtailing free expression by banning speech does not advance democracy. The drafters of the U.S. Constitution recognized that when governments forbid citizens from talking about certain topics, it often forces those citizens to discuss such topics secretly. By allowing individuals to express their opinions — no matter how much the government and other citizens may disagree with them — the First Amendment promotes transparency and social stability. This uninhibited public debate also forces ideas into the intellectual marketplace, where they must compete with the ideas freely expressed by other individuals. This competition of ideas means that inferior or offensive ideas give way to better ones.
Which statement best summarizes the main idea of this passage?
Question 6 options:
a) The main idea of this passage says that the people who wrote the U.S. Constitution wanted to ban free speech.
b) The main idea of this passage is the First Amendment encourages citizens to discuss topics secretly.
c) The main idea of this passage says that democracy is limited when free expression is restricted, and speech is banned.
d) The main idea of this passage is that bad ideas are harmful to a democracy.
Answer:
c) The main idea of this passage says that democracy is limited when free expression is restricted, and speech is banned.
Explanation:
The passage states that curtailing free expression by banning speech does not advance democracy and that the drafters of the U.S. Constitution recognized that when governments forbid citizens from talking about certain topics, it often forces those citizens to discuss such topics secretly. The passage also notes that the First Amendment promotes transparency and social stability by allowing individuals to express their opinions, regardless of whether the government or other citizens disagree with them. Additionally, the passage suggests that uninhibited public debate forces ideas into the intellectual marketplace where they must compete with the ideas of others, which helps ensure that inferior or offensive ideas are replaced by better ones. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the information provided in the passage.

Answer:
I heard a rustling noise in the shrubs outside of my window... all of a sudden, the curtains flipped open, and I got a weird feeling down my spine, like someone was watching me... I hopped out of bed, and put my shoes on, trying to be as quiet as possible, as I didn't want to wake my parents, I tip-toed down the stairs, and creaked open the front door. Once I got outside I felt a weird presence like there was someone or something with me. That's when I felt gravitated over to the shrubs.... once I got over to the shrubs near my window, I saw something! I screamed as loud as I could, it looked like some sort of a ghost, but then again I don't believe in ghosts. I hurried away back to the porch to collect myself, and went inside, once I got back upstairs, and tucked in, I still felt odd and unsettled. Once I started falling asleep I heard someone whispering my name so I said "Dad, Mom?" and then I felt a hand over my mouth, so once again I screamed, I tried to open my eyes but they felt so heavy, I stopped resisting. Once I opened my eyes I was in an odd place, with lots of greenery... then I remembered, the shrub! maybe the odd person/spirit took me into the shrub with them! It had to be that. Then I heard a dull knocking noise, and an alarm clock so I pried my eyes open with all my strength, and I was back in my bed with my mom yelling at my to wake up... what a dream, or was it...?

Read the following passage from Freedom of Expression in the United States regarding defamatory speech, which is a false statement of fact that damages a person's character, fame, or reputation:
Under U.S. defamation law, there are different standards for public officials and private individuals. Speakers are afforded greater protection when they comment about a public official, as opposed to a private citizen. In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that public officials could prove defamation only if they could demonstrate "actual malice," that is, that the speaker acted with knowledge that the defamatory statement was false or "with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not."
Choose the explicit textual evidence that best supports the claim that not all citizens are given the same protection under U.S. defamation law . . .

Review the discussion prompt with a partner or small group. Before beginning your discussion, generate ideas for your response and revisit the vocabulary review list to select useful and relevant terms.
Discussion: In this unit, we have been reading, writing, and thinking about identity, and one aspect of a person’s identity is his or her personality. What is one word you would use to describe your personality? Why did you choose that word? What has contributed to the development of your personality?Use as many Big Idea and Academic Vocabulary words in your discussion as you can.
After your discussion, reflect on your experience. How many vocabulary words were you able to incorporate? How comfortable did you feel recalling and using these words? What strategies were beneficial in learning these words, and what will you adjust in the future? Record your response below.
How do we become who we are? Traditionally, people’s answers have placed them in one of two camps: nature or nurture. The one says genes determine an individual while the other claims the environment is the linchpin for development. Since the 16th century, when the terms “nature” and “nurture” first came into use, many people have spent ample time debating which is more important, but these discussions have more often led to ideological cul-de-sacs rather than pinnacles of insight.
New research into epigenetics the science of how the environment influences genetic expressions changing the conversation. As psychologist David S. Moore explains in his newest book, The Developing Genome, this burgeoning field reveals that what counts is not what genes you have so much as what your genes are doing. And what your genes are doing is influenced by the ever-changing environment they’re in. Factors like stress, nutrition, and exposure to toxins all play a role in how genes are expressed essentially which genes are turned on or off. Unlike the static conception of nature or nurture, epigenetic research demonstrates how genes and environments continuously interact to produce characteristics throughout a lifetime.
The structure of the paragraph is compare and contrast. It contrasts the influence of nature on development by describing details that support the other side of the debate. It shows that environment also has a strong influence on people.

You wouldn't like my cat or my smelly dog none.
All the animals in our house are wild and nutty.
My cat ain't beautiful, though she's not as crazy as my old dog.
There are prettier animals, but my cat is the smartest animal we own.
Answer: Its the fourth answer
Explanation: This is because your not bragging about the cat but your being really nice and explaining it in a way its ok on both sides instead of bragging and saying my cat is cute its the best cat ever. It soft and fury. You just explain it from your perspective and a way you won't upset anyone because remember your writing it to someone you don't know so you don't want to do anything that will ruin a good relationship. That could be really good relatives. That could be just little things that will cause big things, but anyways the last one is not bragging and its not talking about any other pets. Soory for the long drawn out explanation i hope i helped.
Answer:
Explanation:
The most formal way to describe your pet in a letter to a distant relative you have never met might be: "I have a cat and a dog as pets. The cat is intelligent, while the dog is well-behaved." This description conveys the necessary information about your pets without using casual language or making negative comments about them. It is important to remember to be respectful and polite when writing to someone you have never met, especially if the relationship is formal.

Explanation:
Read the excerpt from "Egyptian Tombs: A Grave Matter.”
From the twenty-fifth century BCE, pharaohs’ tombs were located inside grand pyramids. The pyramids served as giant grave markers; however, they also served as treasure markers for grave robbers. These wicked people would strip the tombs bare of all valuables. Then they would sell the stolen items for a large amount of money. Stealing from the dead was bad enough, but for the ancient Egyptians, the act also threatened the pharaoh’s afterlife.
Based on the details in the excerpt, what conclusion can be drawn about the pharaohs of ancient Egypt?
They went to great lengths to ensure that their tombs were prepared for the afterlife by placing valuables inside.
They liked the pyramid shape, so they used it as a tomb.
They thought that giant grave markers would protect them against grave robbers.
They placed more emphasis on their current lives than on their afterlives.
