Me
I'm captain of the soccer team
And scored the winning goal.
I'm strong and smart and good at math
And I'm on the honor roll.
I have perfect, chiseled cheekbones,
And I dress the latest fads.
You can see my flawless, handsome face
On several TV ads.
This year, I won the talent show
And was homecoming king
And got the lead in the school play
And won lots of other things.
The girls think I'm the coolest guy.
My rank is understood.
Do you wonder why I always win?
It's cuz I'm just that good.
What is the tone of the poem?
arrogant
dejected
ashamed
respectful

A Boy with Dreams
by A. Gautam
Willy waited every night to wake up and turn into Batman.
He had the jaw that looked intimidating in a cowl,
and the perfect chin with a hint of toughness—
full lips—an embodiment of strength.
But he had the eyes of a poet—searching meaning,
and looking beyond what is seen.
When he looked at the city from his balcony,
he was learning to swim in the world—
growing up to be a man was tougher than it seemed.
He was a boy with dreams.
He wanted wings.

B. It's an entertaining piece about a young boy's dreams.
C. It's an instructive work on how to live and dream big.
D. It's an informative article about a confused dreamer.

The fact is, teenagers who are still growing need 9 or 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night. Do most children get that much? It's highly unlikely. In the United States alone, an estimated 30% to 40% don't get adequate sleep. Most teenagers try to stay up later than they're allowed—to watch a favorite TV show or chat online. Parents often give in to the teenager's plea, and the cycle begins. The teen goes to sleep progressively later every night, and pretty soon, he or she is sleep deprived.
How does the underlined sentence help to advance the author's point of view?
A. The statistic makes it clear that most kids in the United States get plenty of sleep.
B. The statistic gives weight to the author's claim that kids don't get enough sleep.
C. The statistic is meant to show that sleep deprivation only affects a few people.
D. The statistic compares kids in the United States to those in other countries.
