The History of Paper and Its Impact on Society
For thousands of years, humans have sought ways to record information and share ideas. Before paper, people carved symbols into stone or wrote on clay tablets, which were heavy and fragile.

Part 2: Literary Passage
A Day in the Community Garden – The Big Project
Maya wiped the sweat from her forehead as she looked at the empty plot of land. It was hard to believe that by the end of summer, this space would bloom with vegetables and flowers. Her classmates chatted excitedly, but Maya felt nervous. Could they really turn this patch of dirt into a thriving garden?
Mr. Lopez, their teacher, handed out tools and reminded them of the plan: work together, share ideas, and solve problems as they came. At first, things didn’t go smoothly. The soil was dry, and the hose leaked. Maya wanted to give up, but then she noticed her friend Sam using an old bucket to carry water from the school fountain. Inspired, Maya grabbed another bucket and joined him. Soon, others pitched in. By the end of the day, the ground was damp and ready for seeds.
Weeks passed, and the garden began to grow. Maya learned how cooperation could turn challenges into victories. When the first tomato appeared, she felt proud—not just of herself, but of the whole team. The garden wasn’t perfect, but it was theirs, a living reminder that big projects succeed when people work together.
What does the word 'pitch in' most likely mean in the passage?
Help and work together on a task
