Read this excerpt from a short story.

For her science project, Rina had predicted that beans planted in potting soil would sprout first. To her surprise, the first sprouts to appear were planted in her mother’s compost mix.

"I told you, Rina," her mother said. "Never underestimate the power of coffee grounds and orange peels."

Two days later, the beans in potting soil sprouted, but they were never as hearty as the other sprouts. Rina’s inaccurate prediction did not bother her. She was just happy to know how to improve her flower garden in the spring.

Read the excerpt from Wendell's narration in Seedfolks.

I scraped up a ring of dirt around the first plant, to hold the water and any rain that fell. I picked up the pitcher and poured water slowly. Then I heard something move and spun around. The girl was there, stone-still, ten feet away, holding her own water jar. She hadn't seen me behind the refrigerator. She looked afraid for her life. Maybe she thought I’d jump up and grab her. I gave her a smile and showed her that I was just giving her plants some water. This made her eyes go even bigger. I stood up slowly and backed away. I smiled again. She watched me leave. We never spoke one word.

I need help plz and thank you

2 “Now, Valentine,” said the warden, “you’ll go out in the morning. Brace up, and make a man of yourself. You’re not a bad fellow at heart. Stop cracking safes, and live straight.”

3 “Me?” said Jimmy, in surprise. “Why, I never cracked a safe in my life.”

4 “Oh, no,” laughed the warden. “Of course not. Let’s see, now. How was it you happened to get sent up on that Springfield job? Was it because you wouldn’t prove an alibi for fear of compromising somebody in extremely high-toned society? Or was it simply a case of a mean old jury that had it in for you? It’s always one or the other with you innocent victims.”

5 “Me?” said Jimmy, still blankly virtuous. “Why, warden, I never was in Springfield in my life!”

6 “Take him back, Cronin!” said the warden, “and fix him up with outgoing clothes. Unlock him at seven in the morning, and let him come to the bull-pen. Better think over my advice, Valentine.”

1) Choose the best answer.

What inference can you make from paragraphs 2-6?

The warden wants Jimmy to stay in prison because they get along.

Jimmy really believes he is innocent.

The warden is trying to frame Jimmy.

Jimmy is using verbal irony, or sarcasm, by saying he has never cracked a safe.

1 A guard came to the prison shoe-shop, where Jimmy Valentine was assiduously [diligently] stitching uppers, and escorted him to the front office. There the warden handed Jimmy his pardon, which had been signed that morning by the governor. Jimmy took it in a tired kind of way. He had served nearly ten months of a four year sentence. He had expected to stay only about three months, at the longest. When a man with as many friends on the outside as Jimmy Valentine had is received in the “stir” it is hardly worthwhile to cut his hair.

8 The clerk handed him a railroad ticket and the five-dollar bill with which the law expected him to rehabilitate [restore] himself into good citizenship and prosperity. The warden gave him a cigar, and shook hands. Valentine, 9762, was chronicled on the books, “Pardoned by Governor,” and Mr. James Valentine walked out into the sunshine. [Pardon means to release from the penalty of an offense]

2) Choose the best answer.

Putting together the clues in paragraphs 1 and 8, how did Jimmy get out of jail after serving only ten months of a four-year sentence?

The warden was worried for Jimmy's safety in the prison, so they released him early.

He was proven to be innocent.

He convinced the warden to let him out early.

Jimmy has influential "friends" who got the governor to pardon him.

9 A week after the release of Valentine, 9762, there was a neat job of safe-burglary done in Richmond, Indiana, with no clue to the author. A scant eight hundred dollars was all that was secured. Two weeks after that a patented, improved, burglar-proof safe in Logansport was opened like a cheese to the tune of fifteen hundred dollars, currency; securities and silver untouched. That began to interest the rogue-catchers [criminal-catchers]. Then an old-fashioned bank-safe in Jefferson City became active and threw out of its crater an eruption of bank-notes amounting to five thousand dollars. The losses were now high enough to bring the matter up into Ben Price’s class of work. By comparing notes, a remarkable similarity in the methods of the burglaries was noticed. Ben Price investigated the scenes of the robberies, and was heard to remark:

3) Choose the best answer.

What inference can you make from paragraph 9?

Jimmy has resumed his old ways of safecracking.

Ben Price has given up searching for Jimmy Valentine.

Someone else has taken Jimmy's place as expert safecracker.

Jimmy Valentine has reformed his ways.

Read the literary analysis written by Cynthia about part 5 of The Call of the Wild.

In The Call of the Wild, Buck is presented as an intensely loyal dog to those who earn his love and affection. Saved by Thornton from a brutal beating by Hal when he "was too near dead to be of further use in hauling the sled," Buck’s loyalty to Thornton first began. However, as described by London, it was more than just the fact that Thornton had saved his life that earned Thornton Buck’s adoration; it was also the fact that Thornton "was the ideal master." Even when Buck felt strongly the natural instincts that were calling from the wild, "the love for John Thornton drew him back to the fire again." Loyalty can be a powerful force.

How could the final sentence be revised to present a stronger conclusion?

Even loyalty is no match for the urges Buck feels to return to the wilderness.
Buck’s loyalty to Thornton is the only thing that keeps him alive in the Yukon.
Once forged, loyalty is a powerful opponent for even Buck’s natural instincts.
Loyalty is the only force in nature that allows Buck to deny the call of the wild.

help pls anwser the question

Read the excerpt from Gonzalo's narration in Seedfolks.

One afternoon I was watching TV, getting smart on The Brady Bunch. Suddenly I looked up. He was gone. I checked the halls on all five floors of the apartment house. I ran to the street. He wasn't in the bodega or the pawnshop. I called his name, imagining my mother's face when she found out he'd fallen through a manhole or been run over. I turned the corner, looking for the white straw hat he always wore. Two blocks down I spotted it. I flew down the sidewalk and found him standing in front of a vacant lot, making gestures to a man with a shovel.

How would this part of the story be different if it were told from Tío Juan's perspective?

A- It would use an irritated voice and have a resentful tone.

B- It would use a confident voice and describe Gonzalo's actions as interfering.

C- It would use a determined voice and have an excited tone.

D- It would use a relaxed voice and describe Gonzalo's actions as helpful.

Without this army of migrant pollinators paying a visit for three weeks every year, the trees would fail to bear the almonds that are California's most valuable horticultural export.

But the supply of almonds in confectionery, cakes and packets of nuts is now threatened by a mysterious malady that is causing honeybees to disappear.
