a leaning in favor of or against a person or issue

Based on this paragraph, the author's stance aligns with which of the following? The national Parks System costs $1.2 billion annually to operate. Of that amount, $900,000 is spent on costs associated with visitors. The system has 368 locations, including major parks, such as the Grand Canyon, and small, specialized parks that feature one thing. We need to reexamine the type and quality of parks paid for by federal dollars. An independent commission could review the parks and determine whether or not they all should be kept open and what level of fees should be charged to park users. Currently, the people who use parks pay less than ten percent of the costs of operating them.

It is good to reevaluate things as time goes on.

The National Park System should continue as it is.

Government systems waste time and money

The park system should be shut down.

After reading the selection, with which statement would this author most likely agree? People are concerned that irradiated food will lead to an increase in cancer. But what about the benefits of reduced toxins, food decontamination, and a longer shelf life? Have x-rays cause people to become radioactive?

Sixty-seven percent of consumers would be willing to pay more for chicken that has significantly fewer toxins, according to a recent survey.

Irradiation reduces the risks of contamination.

Frozen foods are safer than irradiated foods.

X-rays cause people to become radioactive.

People are foolish to worry about cancer.

What is the author's perspective in this paragraph? Would you like to come home after a long day and walk into an elephant? You would if you lived in The Elephant House in Margate, New Jersey, which was built in 1881 by James Lafferty. Herbert Green built a chicken-shaped house in 1962. Sarah Winchester spent 38 years building a ghost proof house with fake chimneys, doors that opened into walls, and stairs that led nowhere. And a man named Baldasera spent forty years building an underground house with ninety rooms for about $300. If you think your plans for your house are too unusual, think again!

No house plans are too unusual.

People should stick with traditional designs.

What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?

Florida businesses will lose more money from crime this year than they'll spend on water, gas and electricity. This is according to a study released Tuesday. From shoplifting to employee theft, crime is expected to cost Florida
businesses $27.4 billion. The cost is twice that of residential crime, according to the report issued by Attorney General Charlie Crist and a law enforcement/industry coalition.

The biggest perpetrators, surprisingly, are not robbers and burglars. Rather, they are rogue employees, pilfering everything from stock inventory and office
supplies to company accounts and confidential data. More than $13 billion in losses -- almost half of Florida's annual total -- are attributed to those inside jobs, the study said. State officials said they are launching a campaign to
inform the public and business community about the problem.

To persuade the reader to buy a security system.

To entertain the reader with stories.

To inform the reader about how to steal from businesses.

To inform the reader about the effects of stealing.
