Read the passage:

Oil spills from off-shore drilling and shipping are an immense threat to sea otters. Sea otters are dependent on their thick fur to keep them warm. Its unique structure traps air that insulates their bodies from the cold water. When an otter's fur is covered in oil, it can no longer keep the otter warm. This can cause hypothermia and even death. If the otter tries to clean its fur, it will ingest the oil, which is poisonous. In 1989, the Exxon Valdez hit a reef in Alaska. The ship spilled over ten million gallons of oil into the ocean. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believes that anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 otters died due to this oil spill.

What point does the author make in the passage?

A Oil is poisonous to all wildlife that lives in the water.
B Oil spills are increasing the number of sea otter deaths.
C Over the last 20 years, the number of oil spills has increased.
D Sea otters have dense, thick fur to protect them from oil.

Answer:

B. Oil spills are increasing the number of sea otter deaths.

Explanation:

Answer choice A is incorrect because the passage is focused on sea otters, not all wild life

Answer choice C is incorrect, there was no statement in the paragraph that spoke about oil spills increasing.

Answer choice D is incorrect, otters do have dense thick fur but this is not the main point or focus of the passage.

As the sun angled, the buttes and coulees, the cliffs and sculptured hills and ravines lost their burned and dreadful look and glowed with yellow and rich browns and a hundred variations of red and silver gray, all picked out by streaks of coal black. It was so beautiful that I stopped near a thicket of dwarfed and wind-warped cedars and junipers, and once stopped I was caught, trapped in color and dazzled by the clarity of the light.

Why does the author present a non sequitur in the
excerpt?
Read the excerpt from Teagan's essay about
deforestation
Deforestation is a global catastrophe, with billions of
trees being chopped down each year. The primary
justification for the destruction of forests all over the
world is an increased demand for agricultural products
especially cattle. People require food, and they must
have a place to grow and raise it. Deforestation not
only clears vegetation that removes carbon dioxide
from the air, but the very act of clearing forests
increases greenhouse gas emissions. This is why
becoming vegan is the healthiest choice when
determining lifestyle changes.
O to describe deforestation as a global issue
O to provide evidence to justify a lifestyle choice
O to explain the reason behind the increasing demand
for food
O to show that agricultural products have negative
consequences

Which sentence from the passage states a connection between the idea of a national official language and a violation of human rights?

(6) The right to benefit from their government should not be limited by language barriers. Language communication via radio, television, and written material is essential for a basic understanding of an already intimidating political process for many non-native English speakers.

(7) Under S.356, in my role as a government official, my hands would be tied when dealing with my own constituents, for many of whom English is a second language. To suggest that I cannot represent those constituents to the best of my ability and will be forced to essentially exclude them from the political process through English-only written communication is preposterous and insulting. The Constitution of the United States guarantees freedom of speech. Nowhere does it say that it has to be in English. If we enact this bill it will be a limitation of our free society.
