(19)Sadly, Edison never was able to do this goal before his money was gone. (20) He failed again. (21) All his energy and ingenuity were then directed to the phonograph and the moving picture project which made him lots of money. (22) He could have stopped trying after he failed and lost all his money, but he didn’t. (23)Thomas Edison was truly a great man because he saw failure as a step closer to success. Marco wants to improve the conclusion to his paper. Which sentence should be inserted after sentence 23 to bring this paper to a more effective conclusion?

As a result, Edison has inspired many people to persevere through difficulties and develop important ideas.

Thomas Edison’s story should be preserved in a historical museum for future generations.

Now, when I fail at something, I just think of Thomas Edison.

People didn’t always think Edison had good ideas, but he persevered and proved them wrong.

10 Do I remember? Of course I remember. Atticus and I had bolted to the cafeteria after recess, excited to audition for our first-ever class play. Our teacher told us that everyone would have a part, but we all wanted to be the mightiest dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus rex. We took turns performing our interpretation of a T. rex roar and showing off our best dinosaur moves. Atticus auditioned last, pushing his elbows into his shirt sleeves so that he had tiny front arms and stomping ferociously in circles. I wished I had thought of making my arms look shorter. When our teacher smiled at his interpretation, my heart dropped to my stomach. Clearly, Atticus was made to be front and center, playing the lead. How does the use of a flashback in paragraph 10 help develop the plot of the story?

It reveals that Atticus and Saul have been in competition for years.

It shows why Saul is unconcerned about getting the lead role.

It shows that Atticus and Saul prefer acting as dinosaurs.

It reveals why Saul sees himself as similar to the Artful Dodger.

16 The bell rings, and a throng of students moves toward the door. We are jostling to get ahead, eager to see the page hanging on the wall outside the auditorium door, the page that will tell us who got which part. 17 Everyone crowds together, scanning the page. Carson gasps, and I glance at him and then back at the paper. There it is, in large print at the top—Oliver: Carson V. 18 Atticus and I finally find our names at the very bottom of the page with our characters’ names written next to them: “Boy 3” and “Boy 4.” After a moment of shock, we both start laughing. Then we turn toward Carson, each of us trying to give him the first “congratulations!” Based on his thoughts throughout the story, how will Saul most likely feel after congratulating Carson?

Saddened that he will not get to play the role of Oliver, but happy that it was Carson who got the lead this time

Relieved that he will not have to learn the role of Oliver, but troubled that Carson may have difficulty learning his part

Proud to have gotten any part in the high school play, but worried about having to sing in his role of Boy 4

Concerned that Atticus did not get the lead, but hopeful that the play will be a hit

18 Atticus and I finally find our names at the very bottom of the page with our characters’ names written next to them: “Boy 3” and “Boy 4.” After a moment of shock, we both start laughing. Then we turn toward Carson, each of us trying to give him the first “congratulations!” How does Atticus and Saul’s behavior help resolve the conflict of the story?

They each admit that they will be happy if the other gets the part.

They both remember competitions between them from the past.

They each decide to try out for the parts of the Artful Dodger and Oliver.

They both congratulate Carson before the other students can.
