It was a dark and cold winter morning. Jim and his brother Carl waited impatiently for the school bus. Carl chewed on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. "I hate going to school," Jim said. "You never know what might go wrong during the day. We might have a pop quiz or be attacked by the school bully." Carl finished the last sandwich bite and moved on to a thermos filled with chocolate milk. "It's a lot more fun in my class." "Sure," Jim said. "It's because you're in kindergarten. Everything's fun in kindergarten." The bus arrived. Both boys walked into it and separated to find their friends. As Jim sat down next to his best friend Mike, he noticed something. "Hey, my lunchbox feels really light. Based on the story, which event causes Jim's lunchbox to feel light?

Carl eats Jim's lunch at the bus stop.

Jim's lunch falls out of his lunchbox.

The school bully steals Jim's lunch.

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank with nothing to do. Once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures in it. What is the use of a book without pictures? Alice thought. She was considering (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy) whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran by her. There was nothing so very remarkable in that, nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the rabbit say to itself, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" When she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural. When the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat pocket, looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet because it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat pocket or a watch. Burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In another moment, down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again. The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well. Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything. Then, she looked at the sides of the well and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and bookshelves. Here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed. It was labeled ORANGE MARMALADE, but to her great disappointment it was empty. She did not like to drop the jar, for fear of killing somebody underneath, so she managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it. Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again. "Dinah'll miss me very much tonight, I should think!" (Dinah was the cat.) "I hope they'll remember her saucer of milk at tea-time. Dinah, my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, I'm afraid, but you might catch a bat, which is very like a mouse, you know. Do cats eat bats, I wonder?" Alice began to get rather sleepy. She went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, "Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?" She felt that she was dozing off and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah. She was saying to her, very earnestly, "Now, Dinah, tell me the truth. Did you ever eat a bat?" when suddenly, thump! Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over. Alice does not drop the jar because

She is afraid of killing somebody under her.

She was taught to store things properly.

She does not want the pretty jar to break.

She wants to eat the orange maralade.

Pizza is served in many school cafeterias in the United States on a daily basis, but it is actually still relatively new to the country. Pizza first arrived in the United States with Italian immigrants during the late 1800s. It was popular in cities that had a large concentration of citizens that had Italian roots. It remained relatively unpopular nationally for several decades until the end of World War II. Many American soldiers that had been stationed in Italy during the war enjoyed eating pizza on a regular basis there and when they returned to the United States, they wanted to continue to have access to it. Pizza then enjoyed a boost in popularity and soon went from being a food primarily consumed by Italian immigrants to one of the most popular foods in the country. What is the central idea of the passage?

Pizza was introduced to the U.S. in the late 1800s and became popular after WWII.

Pizza came to the United States in the late 1800s and was not very popular.

As research continued to emerge about atoms, knowledge about the properties of these small particles grew. Sometimes, two protons and two neutrons shed from the nucleus of an atom. It happens when too many neutrons are in the nucleus and this is known as alpha decay. Once decay occurs, these particles travel slowly in the environment. They tend to gain additional electrons and turn into the element helium. This is often called radioactivity. There are three different types of radioactive decay which includes, alpha, gamma, and beta. Radioactivity comes in a variety of forms and occurs naturally in the environment including radon gas and cosmic rays. What causes Alpha decay?

the accumulation of too many neutrons

the radioactivity of radon and cosmic gases

"Hey, Mr. Pig. If you give me a slice of your pizza, I'll let you have the next bone I find." Mr. Pig declined, even though it hurt his stomach to eat the last three slices of pizza. "I'm sorry, Mr. Dog," Mr. Pig said, "but I paid for this pizza and it's all mine." Mr. Dog sighed and waited for Mr. Pig to finish, and then they left the animal mall together.

One of the most popular characters in children's literature is the Mad Hatter, from Lewis Carroll's popular book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alice happens upon the Mad Hatter at a "mad," or crazy, tea party. The characters at the tea party are the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the Dormouse. They are drinking tea as if time doesn't exist and so have no reason to hurry. The way the Mad Hatter acts and speaks does make it seem as if he may be a little crazy. The character of the Mad Hatter was likely inspired by the phrase "mad as a hatter." A hatter is a person who makes hats. Today, no one works with mercury without proper protection. But before the dangers were understood, hatters often worked with mercury to cure the felt used in many hats. It was impossible for the hatters to avoid inhaling mercury fumes. They sometimes developed mercury poisoning. Mercury poisoning caused brain damage and could result in confused speech. Listening to the Mad Hatter at the mad tea party, one can guess that he probably did spend too much time with mercury!
Which detail would be most important to include in a summary of the passage?

The Mad Hatter, The March Hare, and the Dormouse are all at the tea party.

Today, hatters would not think of working with mercury without protection.

Mercury poisoning could cause brain damage and confused speech.

Alice meets the character of the Mad Hatter at a crazy tea party.

The turkey is one of the most famous birds in North America. In fact, Benjamin Franklin wanted to make the wild turkey, not the Bald Eagle, the national bird of the United States! The turkey's popularity comes from the American people's love of eating the bird for special occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas. The wild turkey we usually see in photos or pictures is not the same as the domestic turkey that many Americans serve at Thanksgiving. Domestic or tame turkeys weigh twice what a wild turkey does and are raised on farms for profit. Most domestic turkeys are so heavy they are unable to fly. Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) live in woods in parts of North America and are the largest game birds found in this part of the world. They spend their days foraging for food like acorns, seeds, small insects and wild berries. They spend their nights in low branches of trees.
What can the readers infer about Benjamin Franklin?

He was a vegetarian (someone who doesn't eat meat).

His favorite food was turkey sandwiches.

He raised turkeys for profit.

He had great respect for the wild turkey.
