Which of the following is most likely a summarized statement about the building of Mt. Rushmore?

Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota features the faces of four notable American Presidents. It took 14 years and the help of 400 workers for sculptor Gutzon Borglum to complete the monument, which was purposed as a “Shrine of Democracy.”

Mt. Rushmore should not be seen as a great monument to American leaders but as a representation of how humans trample on the pristine beauty of nature. The mountain should have been left in its natural state.

Mt. Rushmore required the work of 400 laborers to remove 450,000 tons of rock. That means each laborer had to remove 1,125 tons of rock before the carving could begin.

Mt. Rushmore is an impressive monument; however, it seems unfinished. The sculptor originally planned to portray the presidents from the waist up but ran out of funding to complete that section. The monument would have looked better with its original design.

What does it mean to summarize?

to come to a decision about something

Though you may not have read the text, you can identify what does and does not belong in a summary. Which of the following sentences does not belong in a summary of A Week in the Woods?

He is an Eagle Scout and an avid outdoorsman which I think is really ambitious.

This story takes place in New Hampshire where Mr. Maxwell, a fifth grade science teacher, is in charge of the school’s “Week in the Woods” program.

He has organized and carried out this program for sixteen years.

He is totally organized and prepared, months in advance, for the upcoming week in the woods, but there is something that he doesn’t know and he cannot prepare for.

Which of the following correctly follows the formatting of a dialectical journal?

"It was said that when he slept, hiswives and children in his houses could hear him breathe."Pg. 4 paragraph 1 One question that comes to mind when I read this is if he alternates between homes on certain days or months. From what I understand, it used to be socially acceptable to have many wives and children, but they all lived together in one home, scattered among different chambers within the house. The use of the word "homes" is what made me wonder.

All fame begins when you do something noticeable.For example, actors and actresses build upon their careers and reputations by achieving excellence in their personal goals, as well as perfecting their public performance.

As he broke the kola, Unoka prayed to their ancestors for life and health, and for protection against their enemies.The impression that I got was that Okoye just came over on a whim. Is it customary to honor and pray to the ancestors whenever you have company; expected or unexpected? This seems awkward.

"He always said that whenever he saw a dead man's mouth he saw the folly of not eating what one had in one's lifetime." I think that what the author was trying to imply in this passage was that in his personal experience, he has noticed that many people take many things for granted and that they don't live their lives according to what they want and need to do. So much is wasted during one's lifetime, and people just allow their lives to pass them by.

Which of the following is not a good example of a chapter summary?

Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are sent to live in the country with a Professor and Housekeeper; away from the London air raids. I think this is during World War II. Lucy discovers Narnia while the children are exploring the mansion on a rainy day and meets the Faun.

The White Witch gives Edmund food and drink magically and asks him about where he came from, his family, and so forth. Edmund doesn’t think twice about answering and gives away a lot of information. On the way back he meets Lucy who was with Mr. Tumnus and keeps secret who he met.

Lucy learns the faun’s name, tells him that she is human. Mr. Tumnus asks her for tea and tries to kidnap her but lets her go because he feels sorry for her.

Lucy returns home thinking hours have passed. Peter, Susan, and Edmund think she is just playing a game and don’t believe her story about the wardrobe. Edmund follows Lucy back to the wardrobe and finds herself in Narnia and meets the White Witch

Read this paragraph. Which of the following is an example of an inference made about the information in this paragraph?
[Stimulus] Monkeys are known to like bananas, and so are humans, but the two species eat them in different ways. Most humans break and pull a banana skin from the top at the stem, while monkeys pinch and pull from the bottom stump. Monkeys likely prefer this method because it is easier to do with one hand.

Both humans and monkeys do not eat the skin of a banana.

Monkeys do not peel their bananas; instead, they eat them whole.

Monkeys pull from the bottom of the banana because they can do it with one hand.

Monkeys have four times the hand strength than humans so it is easier for them to peel bananas.
