There is no concept of "health and safety” in Elizabethan England, so you will inevitably feel vulnerable when you arrive. Nauseating smells and sights will assail your senses; contemporary standards of cleanliness will worry you. People die every day from unknown ailments, the young as often as the old. Infectious diseases periodically kill thousands within a few weeks. Even when the plague is not in town, it lurks as anxiety in the back of people’s minds and, when it does strike, their worry turns to terror. On top of the illnesses, the chances of being attacked and hurt are much higher than in the modern world, and workplace injuries are far more common.

What is the central idea of this paragraph?

A.)Infectious diseases, like the plague, killed many people.
B.)Infectious diseases were a great source of concern.
C.)Elizabethans faced health challenges similar to ours today.
D.)Elizabethans faced a variety of challenges in staying healthy.

Read the excerpt from E.O. Wilson's "The Environmental Ethic."
Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also
pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments. I have said that a fifth or
more of the species of plants and animals could vanish or be doomed to early extinction by the year 2020
unless better efforts are made to save them.... As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the
Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. In the world as a whole, extinction
rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man. They cannot be
balanced by new evolution in any period of time that has meaning for the human race.
What message does the author convey in this excerpt?

A student is writing a letter to the local center of government. Read the draft of the student's letter and complete the task that follows.

Last week, our school worked on the "Adopt a Highway" project on County Highway 247, where several of us students picked up trash on the side of the road. When we were done, I noticed that the next several miles of highway were littered with tons of garbage. I believe that the city could expand this project by allowing people to perform community service to pay down fines and tickets by picking up trash. This would help to beautify the highway that leads into the next town, and perhaps from there, other people will work to beautify the rest of the state. Please consider allowing people to perform community service by picking up the trash that litters County Highway 287. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
