"Some people are afraid of bees, but without these helpful insects, we would not have many of our favorite flowers and fruits. Bees come to the plant to drink the nectar, and pollen on the plant sticks to the bee's feet. Bees leave some of the pollen on the next plant that they land on. This helps to make new plants."

"Many people eat fast food, especially when they are in a hurry. However, fast food is unhealthy. Many restaurants fry their food in grease, and do not offer fresh food on their menu."

"Recess is a great thing to have at school! It gives students a break where they can move around. They are able to eat a snack and breathe fresh air. Maybe a longer recess should be considered!"

The author's view point about recess is that...

The discovery of a wild coyote in late 1997 in the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle should come as a wake-up call. The United States has a serious coyote problem! From their traditional enclaves in the western desert, these opportunistic canines have now invaded the entire continental United States. They have taken over parks, farms, vacant lots, and now perhaps the downtown areas of major cities. Homeowners report losing cats and dogs to the beasts, and young children are under attack. Enough is enough. Since humans are the only natural enemy of coyotes, we demand that state and federal agencies institute coyote trapping programs. That is the only way to decrease the number of coyotes to a manageable level.

What is this author's point of view... Are the world's oceans polluted ? This is a question many experts have asked. There are signs of pollution in our oceans, such as a large floating body of plastic and garbage in the Pacific Ocean. There have also been oil spills around the world that have caused harm. However, I don't feel like these issues have hurt the oceans to the point of worry. Animals and fish are still surviving, and when I go to the beach I don't find myself swimming in plastic.

What is this author's point of view...I think all students should go to school year round (all year). As an educator, I see many students lose knowledge they have gained from the previous year over the summer. I also see that many students have a hard time getting back into a school routine when it begins again in the fall. I feel school should continue year round with more short breaks for students in between.

Read the paragraph below and answer the question:

Longer recess for students is a must! Students sit in class for hours during the day without moving. It has been proven that exercise and brain breaks can help students energize their brain and be more prepared to learn. Students also need recess for socialization with friends. Longer recess should be implemented in all schools!

Which of the following is NOT a detail the author uses to support their point of view?

Read the paragraph below and answer the question:

Energy-efficient improvements not only make your home more comfortable, they can yield long-term financial rewards. Reduced utility bills more than make up for the higher price of energy-efficient appliances and improvements over their lifetimes. In addition, your home could bring in a higher price when you sell.

Read the paragraphs below. How does the point of view impact what the reader learns about the use of sunscreen?

Our Earth’s ozone layer is thinning and allowing more harmful UV rays into our atmosphere. The sun’s rays carry heat and light that may be beneficial to our Earth, but they are harmful to our skin.

There are SPF (Sun Protection Factor) levels in sunscreen creams or sprays. This is what prevents the sun rays from damaging our skin. The higher the number on the SPF label, the stronger the UV protection. For example, a sunscreen with a SPF8 rating is not going to prevent a lot of sun damage. However, a sunscreen with a SPF70 rating will be more protective.

What evidence in the passage below best supports the author's view that plastic bags should be banned? Choose all that apply.

Many cities across America are considering banning plastic bags at grocery stores. Supporters of these “bag bans” argue that plastic bags are using up our oil supply, filling the landfills, and polluting our environment.

Plastic bags are made from petroleum products, which come from oil. It takes more than 12 million barrels of oil to create the plastic bags that are used in the United States each year. Oil is a non-renewable resource, meaning it is going to run out one day. As our oil supplies are depleting, we cannot afford to use any more than we have to. Although many plastic bags are recyclable, most people use them as a consumable product, meaning they end up throwing them away. So, a majority of the 100 billion plastic bags that are used by Americans each year end up in landfills. Plastic can take 1,000 years to decompose, overfilling our landfills.
