The NCAA is thriving right now but is in need of change. I feel our next President could help encourage this change. Change is needed because student athletes are being used for the benefit of schools they attend and the NCAA; which is supposed to be a "non-profit organization". However, instead of promoting classroom and academic goals the NCAA makes around $10.8 Billion a year. All the while, student-athletes are drowning in debt and cannot pay for tuition, books, housing, or food. I think that it is best to pay student athletes based on the revenue that they bring themselves.
Which of the following situations would the author most likely agree?
If the NCAA is making so much money the players should also benefit and earn some of the money.
The NCAA should pay the student athletes with money earned.
The NCAA should not be allowed to keep the money since they are a non-profit.

The reader can infer that the author feels-----

sports are not as important as academics
student athletes are barely scraping by
I know that depending on global warming trends, rising temperatures will cause difficulties in producing base layers of snow for skiing hotels or resorts. This climate change causes both changed snowfall patters and rising winter temperatures. Artificial snow creation has become a major snow producer at most major resorts or skiing locations in recent years. The skiing industry is paying the price for artificial snow by giving roughly $1 Billion dollars and losing 27,000 jobs.
The reader can infer that-----
skiing will no longer continue to be a sport
global waring is negatively impacting the ski industry
snowfall will improve over the next ten years.
climate change is not real.

Today, Lego bricks are some of the world's most popular toys. But they're so much more. Businesses use LEGO bricks to help their employees think more creatively. Artists like Nathan Sawaya use LEGO bricks to make amazing sculptures shown all over the world. Educators and teachers use LEGO bricks to challenge students in math and science. In 2015, a team of girl scouts wondered how they could make reading easier for people who can't move their arms. They designed a battery-powered page-turning machine built from LEGO bricks and LEGO tires. They won the White House Science Fair and got to meet the President of the United States.
Which of the following conclusions would the author most likely agree with?
LEGO bricks will change the world
LEGO bricks are important to the business world
LEGO bricks are more than just a toy for kids
LEGO bricks are the most popular toy

Coral reefs provide shelter, a place to hide, for little fish. That many small fish in one place attracts big fish, which in turn attracts BIG predators like sharks. Bigger predators cannot invade the coral, however, they wait along the edges for fish to leave to attack. The reef also provides a place for algae and sponges to grow safely. They provide food for sea turtles and other sea life. If coral were to become extinct so would the turtles and other ocean creatures that rely on them for protection and food.
The reader can infer that----
many types of ocean life rely on coral reef to survive
coral reef are mainly occupied by predators
sea turtles will not be able to survive without coral
a variety of ocean life is becoming endangered

Nosebleeding? It is too mainstream to horned lizards, have you ever heard of "Eye bloodshot"? When a horned lizard senses danger or sees a nearby attacker, he shoots a projectile of blood out of its eye. How do they do that? they have the ability to increase the blood pressure in their sinuses and let it explode! The bloodshot can reach up to five feet (that is as tall as Ms. Andrews!!). The blood does not contain poison, but it has a foul taste to canine and feline predators. That sure is a good way to create chaos and confusion to an attacker.
the reader can infer that a bloodshot is---
the best way to stop prey
not easy to accomplish
their first and only form of defense
a cool way to surprise other animals
