SOL Webpage & Flier Practice

1. How much would you have to pay for a six-year-old to attend the Mattaponi Powwow and Culture Day?

• nothing

• $3.00

• $12.00

• $5.00

Answer explanation

After the word ADMISSION, it states that anyone 12 years of age or older costs $6.00, and children (which you can infer means anyone younger than 12) are free, so a six-year-old would cost nothing.

2. Which is NOT a source to find more information about the Mattaponi?

• a website about American Indian tribes

• a website about European explorers

• a book about American Indians

• an article about the life of the Mattaponi

Answer explanation

The only choice here which does NOT make sense is "a website about European explorers" - because the Mattaponi were not Europeans or explorers....they were Native Americans.

3. Which meaning of the word plain is used in this sentence? He stopped and stared out onto the plain.

• #2 - (adj) simple

• #4 (n) an area of flat land

• #1 (adj) clear to the mind

• #3 (adj) not attractive

Answer explanation

Since the context mentions the plain, the definition must be a NOUN/place. That is why "an area of flat land" is the only answer that makes sense.

4. If a map was added to this web page, what would the map show?

• early America

• Indian reservations in the West

• the United States

• the state of Virginia

Answer explanation

Since the purpose of the website is to inform people about the Mattaponi Powwow, any map would likely be included to show readers where this event will happen. The event is being held in King William, Virginia (this info is mentioned in the center of the webpage) so the map would be a map of Virginia.

5. What will happen if you are unable to attend the event?

• You will not be given a refund.

• You will be given a full refund.

• You will be given a partial refund.

• You can attend the next weekend.

Answer explanation

The website clearly states, "no refunds will be allowed", so if you pay in advance and don't attend, you will not be given a refund.

6. To learn more about the Mattaponi's past, which tab at the top of the webpage should be selected?

• Reservation School

• Governing Body

• History

• Events

Answer explanation

If you think about what each of those word on the tabs mean, the only one that has a connection to the word "past" is "history", which is why that would be the tab you should use/choose.

8. In the first section, which word could be used to replace the word maintain?

• disguise

• continue

• destroy

• ignore

Answer explanation

The sentence says, "The Mattaponi have worked hard to maintain their ancient way of life, customs, and ceremonies. They would work hard to keep them. The closest word which is a synonym for maintain and keep used in this context would be "continue"...they are hoping to continue their customs and ceremonies - which is why they are holding this event in the first place.

9. If a new chief was elected, which section of the website would need to be updated with this information?

• Reservation School

• Fish Hatchery

• Governing Body

• River Science Center

Answer explanation

The tribe's chief is their leader. This means he is part of their tribal leadership - or government. So the tab labeled Governing Body would most likely be where the information about tribal leaders would be found, and it would need to be updated to show who the new chief of the tribe is.

10. Which sentence from the website would BEST serve as a caption for the illustration at the bottom of the page?

• American Indians dance and play drums while dressed in tribal clothing.

• American Indians share crafts and souvenirs.

• American Indians show basket-making, pottery- making, and tool-making skills.

• American Indians share First American foods.

Answer explanation

The illustration shows three figures dancing, so "American Indians dance and play drums while dressed in tribal clothing." would be the best choice of caption since it most accurately describes what is happening in the picture.

11. You are planning to attend a Mattaponi Powwow and Culture Day. You will be able to do all of the following EXCEPT

• use your own lawn chairs

• dance and drum with tribe members

• enter the event at 10am

• bring a cooler with a picnic lunch in it

Answer explanation

The flier states "this year visitors may join in the dancing and drumming". It also states that the event begins at 10am, so you will be able to enter at that time. Near the bottom of the page it also says "bring your own lawn chairs". The one thing it says you will not be able to do is bring coolers or pets, which is why you won't be able to bring a picnic lunch packed in a cooler. Coolers won't be allowed into the event.
