It was the sea eagle that called Emily down to the beach. It hovered above the waves, it's broad wings dusty where the land had left its mark, its small eyes that could follow the horizon bright and keen. She hadn't meant to come down onto the beach. She'd meant to sit at the top of the ramp till the other kids had left the street, till she could walk home from school in peace without strangers staring at her, but somehow the bird seemed to urge her to come down. Which textual evidence best describes Emily's thoughts and feelings?

"... till she could walk home from school in peace..."

"... sea eagle that called Emily..."

"... the bird seemed to urge her to come down."

It was the sea eagle that called Emily down to the beach. It hovered above the waves, it's broad wings dusty where the land had left its mark, its small eyes that could follow the horizon bright and keen. She hadn't meant to come down onto the beach. She'd meant to sit at the top of the ramp till the other kids had left the street, till she could walk home from school in peace without strangers staring at her, but somehow the bird seemed to urge her to come down. What time of day do you think it is and why?

afternoon because she is coming home from school

morning because birds are out at that time

evening because there was no one on the street

lunch time because she wanted to feed the birds

She scheduled a doctor's appointment for the next week, and when the doctor said Macey needed glasses, she tried on every single pair in the office. After spending an hour looking at glasses, mom suggested that perhaps she should sleep on it and come back and decide in the morning. Macey agreed, but she kept talking about the pros and cons of each pair all night long. What can you infer about Macey?

Macey is very excited about getting glasses.

Water from California’s northern mountains is pumped south along a 400-mile canal through the farming communities of the Central Valley. Not only is this canal system a marvel of modern engineering, its water fuels the state’s economic engine. In 2006, these farms produced $31 billion-worth of food and fiber, more than any other state. By contrast, world-wide ticket sales of Hollywood movies, a more famous export of California, totaled $25 billion that year. What inference can the reader make from this paragraph?

The writer thinks moving water to the Central Valley is a good investment.

The author thinks it is more important to eat than go to movies.

Water is a precious resource and shouldn't be wasted on making movies.

The movie industry is more important to California than farming.

When I was ten years old, I had to arrive home by 8 o'clock in the evening. When I was thirteen years old, I had to arrive home by 8 o'clock in the evening. When I was sixteen years old, I had to arrive home by 8 o'clock in the evening. Shortly after my sixteenth birthday, I decided that I was going to ask my mom if I could get a car, but I never went through with it. Knowing how my mother would respond, I was reluctant to ask her such a question. So, rather than ask her if I could get a car, I decided to start out smaller and ask her why I had to be home so early in the evening. I built up my courage, walked into the living room, and asked her. She answered the same way she answered the majority of my questions, "rules are rules." From the point of view of a sixteen-year-old who grew up in a fairly sheltered environment, her logic was flawless. Things are the way they are because that's the way they are. As I grew older, her logic became less convincing, and "rules are rules" held less sway over me. Surely, my mom knew that it would happen, that I would break from her rules and strike out on my own. After all, she is the person who encouraged me to go to a college that's halfway across the country from my hometown. I'm certain that she knew that I would exercise my newfound freedom when I arrived there, but I don't think she could have imagined how far I would take that freedom. Which of these is an inference that can be supported by the passage above

The author of this passage was raised by a strict mother.

The author of this passage got into trouble with the police.

The author of this passage has graduated from college.

The author of this passage does not like his or her mother.

Michael woke up with a start. Someone was banging at the front door. Heavy footsteps clomped over the bare boards of the hallway. A shouting of voices.
