The ACT reading test typically includes one passage that has two texts. The two "mini-passages are usually written by different authors and are only slightly related.
Some of the questions will ask only about text "A." Some will ask only about text "B."And the last few questions will ask what the two texts have in common or how they differ.
On the next slide you will practice comparing and contrasting topics.
Details that apply only to "A."
Details that apply only to "B."
Details that apply to both "A" and "B."
"A."
"B."
Both "A"
and "B".

In both examples above, you are still learning something about drama or math, but in a very different way depending on which teacher presents the lesson. By using what you know about each teacher, you can make a pretty good guess how each teacher would teach the class differently.
When asked what one passage would say or do about another, pretend to be the writer from the passage the question is directed toward. Use details from their passage to determine the writer's perspective on a topic.

Multiple Choice
If the writer of Passage A were to add more information to Passage B, he would likely give details that describe:
the narrator's study habits and school grades.
what a typical day of practice is like.

16.5 Exit Ticket Review
Passage A
Baroness Margaret Thatcher became the first female prime minister of the
United Kingdom in 1979, representing the Conservative Party. She died in 2013,
and although her funeral procession included many loving honors and applause,
there were also protests and jeers. The years following her premiership have
proven the longevity of her political influence, even as her policies are
increasingly considered to be cruel, calculating, and having little regard for the
people she was elected to serve.
Thatcher had a hand in showing the world that Britain was still an
international force to be reckoned with, and she was respected for preserving
that reputation. While her social politics may have been questionable, she
nonetheless left a strong impression on Britain. Through a series of policies now
known as Thatcherism, she lowered taxes, tightened government spending, and
established free markets. She also led the country to victory in the Falklands
War, earning serious praise from even her enemies and receiving her infamous
nickname, “the Iron Lady.”

16.5 Exit Ticket Review
Passage B
In the past 50 years of British history, support for a close relationship with
the European Union has waxed and waned. In 1972, Edward Heath, then prime
minister of the United Kingdom and leader of the Conservative Party, signed
the Treaty of Accession, officially beginning the process for the United
Kingdom to join the European Communities. The union was celebrated by the
British, though not universally. By 1975, a referendum was held to oppose or
renegotiate the United Kingdom’s continued membership in the European
Communities, spearheaded by Harold Wilson of the Labour Party. The
opposition was defeated, and the United Kingdom retained its membership.
Since those contentious early years, attitudes of the British public
regarding membership in what is now called the European Union have been in
regular flux. The membership has experienced starkly low approval ratings
and admirably high ratings only years apart. But in 2016, public opinion finally
resulted in dramatic action when the United Kingdom European Union
membership referendum passed. With 52% of the vote, the United Kingdom
decided their membership would be no more, bringing a half-century-old
debate to a close.
