Tigers. Our donations will help to support and empower those who are fighting the hardest to preserve the

tigers. We owe it to our grandchildren to do something.

IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF TEXT STRUCTURE FOR THE FOLLOWING TEXT

All matter, all things can be changed in two ways: chemically and physically. Both chemical and physical

changes affect the state of matter. Physical changes are those that do not change the make-up or identity of the

matter. For example, clay will bend or flatten if squeezed, but it will still be clay. Changing the shape of clay is

a physical change, and does not change the matter’s identity. Chemical changes turn the matter into a new kind

of matter with different properties. For example, when paper is burnt, it becomes ash and will never be paper

again. The difference between them is that physical changes are temporary or only last for a little while, and

chemical changes are permanent, which means they last forever. Physical and chemical changes both affect the

state of matter.

Emilie realized that her friend, Jackie, had lied to her parents when she told them she was going to a movie.

Emilie wasn't happy that her friend had lied and that Jackie's parents didn't know exactly where she was at. Jackie told Emilie she would be doing the same thing this following weekend and asked Emilie to cover up for her. Emilie can't decide if she should cover for a friend knowing she could very well get in trouble for it, or tell Jackie's parents.

What is the POV of the following passage?

The dew on the grass made my running shoes damp. It didn't bother me. The sound of my feet hitting the street formed a rhythm, a steady pattern of light thumps. I timed my breathing with the rhythm. These sounds filled my head. I thought of nothing other than the next step and keeping my tempo. I soared over the sidewalks like concrete clouds
