Crayons have been used by people for many years. The idea to combine wax with color goes back thousands of years. The Egyptians used beeswax combined with color to paint on stones. They then used heat to melt the wax so it would stay in place. This method was used by many people around the world in the 17th and 18th centuries, in fact, it is still used today. While this may not be the easiest way to complete an art project, it is still an interesting way to add color to an object.
Which is the best main idea for this passage?

• Crayons are cool
• Crayons have only been around for a few years.
• Though different from today, Crayons have been used by people for
  hundreds of years.
• Not all crayons are the same

 Imagine testing glass by throwing chickens at it? Sometimes fast moving airplanes fly through flocks of birds. If the birds hit the windshield of a plane, the glass could shatter and cause a crash.

If the windshield doesn't break when the rubber chicken hits it, the designers know that the glass can withstand the force of a real crash.

• Why birds can be dangerous to airplanes
• How a chicken cannon checks glass
• How the Chicken cannon works
• How big a bird can hit a plane and bring it down

When you summarize a book, you find its essentials. You think about what you’ve read and decide what matters most. That’s why summarizing builds critical-thinking skills. Summarizing can help you focus on the most important parts of a text and keep them organized in your head. It makes it easier to understand and remember what you’re reading.

According to this passage, why are you building critical-thinking skills when you summarize?

• because you’re evaluating the text to decide what’s most important
  
• because you’re critiquing the text to determine if it was interesting or boring
  
• because you’re using your imagination to write a new ending
  
• because you’re combining what you’ve learned in one text with your background knowledge
