Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."

General Gates's troops held their ground. Benedict Arnold, one of Gates's generals, argued for a counterattack that would smash the British force. Gates, outraged that Arnold would challenge his order, took away his command. But the rash Arnold saw a chance to strike a crucial blow. He galloped through the crossfire of both armies, inspiring his men. A bullet struck his leg, but he rode on, leading the final assault that shattered the British fortifications. If he had died of his wounds that day, Arnold would be remembered as one of the great heroes of the Revolutionary War.

The central idea of the excerpt is that, during the Revolutionary War, Benedict Arnold

defeated the British alone.
showed great courage.
was disloyal to the Americans.
became a general.

Arnie went downstairs to get the newspaper for his dad. As usual, it was stuck in the front bushes. As Arnie reached for the paper, something caught his eye. A small, feathery lump sat under one of the bushes. Arnie leaned down for a closer look and gasped when he saw it was the mother sparrow. But, she was not chirping—she was hurt. Arnie and his dad drove to the wildlife center. A smiling woman greeted them as they entered the center. They handed her the shoebox, and she delivered it to a veterinarian, which is an animal doctor.

"You did the right thing by bringing her here," the woman said when she returned from delivering the box. "Many people cause animals more harm when they try to help them. They don't think to bring the animals to a trained expert as you did. You can come back tomorrow to check on her." When Arnie woke up the next day, he heard the father sparrow and the babies chirping cheerfully outside his window. Arnie and his father returned to the wildlife center and talked to the veterinarian. She thanked them for bringing the bird to the center instead of trying to fix her wing themselves.

"Can we take her back to her babies today?" Arnie asked.

"Yes, she is as good as new," the doctor answered. "You made the right choice to bring her here. I am sure her babies will be grateful."
What did the doctor mean when he said, "Yes, she is as good as new?"

A) The mother sparrow is well.
B) The mother sparrow likes her new nest.
C) The mother sparrow is new to her surroundings.
D) The mother sparrow needs more time with the doctor.

Excerpt from The First Tears — Based on an Inuit Folktale

Elizabeth Kibler


Once, a very long time ago, a man named Amak awoke in the morning and was very hungry—he wanted some dinner. Before the sun rose over the mountains, he left his family and promised to bring food home to them. Amak, whose stomach growled, knew his family was famished—and so was he. As he trudged along, Amak realized he had been walking for a long time. He wanted to find food quickly and take it home to his family.


Amak espied a large group of seals lying beside the ocean. Standing far away from the seals, Amak pondered how to catch one of the seals and lug it home as a prize to his family. The man became giddy at the thought. Then, he crept toward the large creatures; however, as he inched forward, the animals dove into the depths of the water and wiggled away from his grasp.


He collapsed onto the ground in sorrow. As Amak got up, he felt a feeling he did not recognize. Water started running down the sides of Amak’s face. He touched the warm water and tasted it. It was as salty as the ocean flowing in front of him. Amak felt himself making strange noises and choking as the water flowed from his eyes.

What do we know about Amak after reading the story?


A) Amak loves to cry when he's upset.

B) Amak cares a lot about his family.

C) Amak's favorite food is seal meat.

D) Amak is a skillful and capable hunter.
