Read the topic sentence and evidence below. In “Mother to Son,” one theme is that even when life is hard you have to keep moving. The poem says, “Don’t you set down on the steps/ ’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard,” (Hughes, lines 15-16). Choose the best explanation to follow this.

The mother, who is speaking in the quote, means that the son shouldn't give up when it's tough.

So you can't sit on steps and let the world pass you by.

When life is hard you have to keep moving and going forward because it's tough a lot of the time.

Which paragraph is written correctly to respond to this question: Why do people feel cell phones should be turned off during dinner?

People feel cell phones should be turned off during dinner to give people more freedom. In the text it states, "Franchesca had an even happier result when she put away her phone" (Smith 6). This shows that turning cell phones off during meal times made people feel happy and less tied to a device.

People feel cell phones should be turned off during dinner to give people more freedom. In the text it states, "Franchesca had an even happier result when she put away her phone" (Smith 6).

Which, if any, part(s) of this constructed response need(s) to be revised? "How does the author's choice to reveal the woman's blindness at the end help develop the theme?" The author's choice to reveal the woman’s blindness helped to develop the overall theme of the story that fear of other’s perspectives of you shouldn’t drive your actions. In paragraph 2, the story states, “How much had she seen, Theodoric queried to himself; and in any case what on earth must she think of his present posture.” This quote shows that he was more concerned about the woman's opinion and thoughts of him rather than the immediate “issue” at hand. In paragraph 19, the story also states, “but being blind makes one so helpless at a railway station.” This quote shows that the woman was not concerned or looking at Theodoric because she is unable to see. In conclusion, just because something embarrassing is happening to you, doesn't mean that people are watching or concerned with you and the difficult task you’re facing.

The explanations aren't strong; they fail to connect the evidence to the answer

The answer is wrong; the stated theme is incorrect.

No changes are needed. This is a level 4

What evidence tells us he is sad or upset because of the storm?

According to the text it states, “Max snapped, "I don't wanna sand-mich!" A flash from the sky lit up the living room. Boom! Mom sighed.”

The text says, "His mother comforted him, "There, there, Max. We'll just find something else to do.".
