From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne
As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not—and did not—exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.

Which line from the text implies that scientists do not believe that dragons exist?

Answer: they laughed at the idea of dragons breathing.

Excerpt Thoreau: PART A: Which statements best summarize the TWO main claims of the text?

Citizens must challenge and attempt to change the wrongs of the state; it is not enough to work within the system.
Everyone who funds a government through taxes shares equal responsibility for the mistakes of that government.
Individuals have a responsibility to disobey laws that are inherently unjust and in conflict with their morals.
PART B: Which TWO phrases from the text best support the answers to Part A?
“…and yet these very men have each, directly by their allegiance, and so indirectly, at least, by their money, furnished a substitute.” (paragraph 1)
“…but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.” (paragraph 6)
“Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the machine… As for adopting the ways which the State has provided for remedying the evil, I know not of such ways.” (paragraphs 6-7)
“I came into this world, not chiefly to make this a good place to live in, but to live in it, be it good or bad.” (paragraph 7)

“I came into this world, not chiefly to make this a good place to live in, but to live in it, be it good or bad.” (paragraph 7)
t supports the idea that we must not participate in injustice.
It shows that true control of the government rests with the people.2
It advocates for patience with the missteps and follies of elected officials.
It supports the idea people are hypocritical and unwilling stand up for their beliefs.
PART A: Which statement best describes Thoreau’s views on petitioning the government to effect change?
dividuals must petition the government if they want their voices to be heard.
Patriotism requires citizens to follow all laws, even if unjust.
Petitioning the government is useless because it does not always result in action.
Individuals should wait until the majority of people agree on an idea before petitioning the government.
PART B: Which quote best supports the answer in Part A?
Those who, while they disapprove of the character and measures of a government, yield to it their allegiance and support are undoubtedly its most conscientious supporters… (Paragraph 2)
“Men generally, under such a government as this, think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them.” (Paragraph 4)
“As for adopting the ways which the State has provided for remedying this evil, I know not of such ways.” (Paragraph 7)
“It is not my business to be petitioning the Governor or the Legislature any more than it is theirs to petition me; and if they should not bear my petition, what should I do then?” (Paragraph 7)
