The original boathouse was destroyed by the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926. Determined to rebuild the structure stronger, Munroe designed a new boathouse with four strong cables sunk into the ground. The cables were then attached to iron beams inside the boathouse. He also designed it so that the bay front wall and the back wall would break away from the rest of the structure in the event of storm surge. This would allow rushing water to enter and exit the building without tearing the rest of the structure down.

How did Munroe’s new boathouse differ from his original one?

• He added cables and iron beams.

• He did move it inland for better protection.

• He did not have a workshop and bedrooms upstairs.

• He included a wall to the bay front area.

Today, the Barnacle is part of the Barnacle Historic State Park. Walking through the grounds is very much like walking through Old Florida. The park retains the native tropical hardwood hammock that once covered all of Miami. Today, the Barnacle Historic State Park is the only place in the city where this original landscape can be seen.

Like the marine animals the house was named for, the Barnacle still clings to the land and provides people with shelter 120 years after it was built.

What connection does the author make between the Barnacle and the historic state park?

• Both the house and the park preserve wood salvaged from nearby shipwrecks.

• Both the house and the park display significant aspects of Florida’s past

• Both the house and the park host many concerts each year.

• Both the house and the park went through several caretakers.

Sunscreens work by absorbing UV rays, but you need to look for one that will absorb both UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreens that will absorb both are often labeled as broad spectrum, multispectrum, or have the words “UVA/UVB protection” printed on their packaging. Once applied, sunscreens are usually invisible on the skin.

Sunblocks, on the other hand, are often visible. Zinc oxide, the thick white cream sometimes seen on beach-goers noses, is a sunblock. Dr. Greene’s goopy, red jellylike Red Vet Pet was a sunblock too. Sunblocks reflect UV rays, keeping them from penetrating the skin. They are effective against both UVA and UVB rays

According to the article, what is the difference between sunblock and sunscreen?

• Scientists recommend sunscreen because it is more effective than sunblock.

• Scientists developed sunblock before sunscreen

• Sunblock forms a visible barrier to reflect UV rays, but sunscreen absorbs UV rays.

• Sunscreen contains chemicals, but sunblock does not

When you want the best, it’s “Got to be” N.C.! No truer statement was ever penned when you’re talking about the high-quality foods, plants, and fiber products that come from North Carolina farms. The “Got to be” N.C. market development program was created to increase brand awareness of farm goods grown in our state, helping consumers recognize the top-quality products grown by their neighbors

Based on the text, what is the connection between the “Got to be” N.C. slogan and the consumer?

• The slogan is a marketing ploy that discourages consumers from buying any products outside of North Carolina.

• The slogan is part of a marketing campaign to educate consumers and motivate them to buy N.C. products.

• The slogan is part of a marketing campaign that discourages consumers from buying N.C. products

• The slogan is a marketing ploy that will motivate consumers to spend more money.
