Read the story and answer the question that follows.

"I remember it like it was yesterday, Rachel." My grandfather leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed. He smoothed back the last of his gray hairs from his forehead and began to describe that historic day... "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," astronaut Neil Armstrong proclaimed as he stepped from the lunar landing vehicle "Eagle" onto the surface of the moon. Astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. joined him on the moon a few minutes later. Michael Collins, a third astronaut, remained in the small command ship "Columbia" to monitor Armstrong and Aldrin. As Armstrong and Aldrin glided along the moon's surface, they took pictures and collected samples of moon rocks and soil. After almost 22 hours of exploring the moon's surface, the astronauts returned to the Apollo 11 spacecraft.

Grandfather opened his eyes and sat up. "Did you know some people didn't get to watch the first moon landing because they didn't have a television yet?"

"Didn't everyone have televisions in 1969?" I asked in disbelief.

Grandfather laughed. "It wasn't like today, with some families having two or three televisions. Can you understand now why I'm proud that you want to be an astronaut when you grow up? Space exploration will be more and more important to humankind as the years go by. I hope to see you in space someday, next to astronauts from all over the world. I believe space exploration in the future will bring countries together. It will be a great opportunity for you. I'm sure you'll be an astronaut we're all proud of!"

For once I agreed with my grandfather. I also believe space exploration should be a way for all countries to work together. With technology from all over the world, who knows how far we can go in space!

Read the story and answer the question that follows.

The terms "rabbit" and "hare" have often been thought to be interchangeable. However, there are several differences between a rabbit and a hare.

To begin with, a hare is generally larger than a rabbit. Hares also have much longer ears. Perhaps the most apparent difference between the two species is what occurs right after birth. Rabbits are born blind, without fur, and completely helpless. A newborn hare, on the other hand, is wide-eyed and covered with fur. The newborn hare can also hop around on the day of birth.

Hares and rabbits also live in different styles of homes. Hares usually make their nests in ground hollows. Rabbits generally dig deep burrows and bear their young in an underground nest.

Although rabbits and hares look very similar, there are several differences that make the two species unique.

Based on the story you just read, which animal is the most helpless at birth?

a)

rabbit

b)

hare

c)

both are helpless

d)

neither are helpless
