Use the poem to answer the question.
I sit and stare out my window
Watching the rain pour down
Wishing I could escape below
And ride my bike into town.
Shadows crawl up my wall;
It feels like the whole day is gone.
I’ll sit and watch the nighttime fall
And just sleep away until dawn.

Use the two passages to answer the question.
1. Have you ever seen a sea turtle, whale, shark, or dolphin? Even if you have only seen pictures online, you can see how cute all of these creatures are. Well, they are in danger. So many of them are killed every year because of plastic waste. From people throwing away single-use water bottles to companies using a ton of plastic to make their products, we can all do better. Scientists are finding creatures like fish and sea birds with their stomachs filled with indigestible plastic. We have to change this, starting today!
2. Oceans cover 71 percent of Earth’s surface, and they are where most of Earth’s water comes from. Because of this, they are one of our greatest natural resources. Unfortunately, around 8 million metric tons of plastic enters our oceans each year. We all need to do more to save our oceans from this type of pollution. Fortunately, there are groups like the Ocean Conservancy, Oceana, and the Lonely Whale Foundation. They are all dedicated to helping this issue.
A student is researching the impact of plastic waste. Write a paragraph that compares and contrasts the two passages. Explain which passage would be better for the student to use and why.

A student is researching the impact of plastic waste. Write a paragraph that compares and contrasts the two passages. Explain which passage would be better for the student to use and why.
Both passages discuss the issue of plastic waste in the ocean. Passage 1 focuses more on the impact on marine life and emphasizes the urgency of the problem. It uses emotional language and a personal tone to make the reader feel the need to take action. Passage 2 provides more general information about the issue and describes some organizations that are working to help. It takes a more objective tone and presents the information in a more formal way. For a student researching the impact of plastic waste on the ocean, both passages would be helpful, but Passage 1 would be better to use because it provides more specific information and has a more persuasive tone that can help the student argue for a solution.

Benjamin is giving a presentation about World War I. He wants to use a movie clip of a war scene and interview his neighbor whose great uncle fought in World War I. Write a 3-5 sentence paragraph explaining why Benjamin should rethink using these sources, and what he should use to replace them.
Using a movie clip and an interview with a neighbor may not be the most reliable sources for information about World War I. Movies often exaggerate or fictionalize scenes for dramatic effect, and a single interview may not provide an accurate reflection of the war. Instead, Benjamin should use primary and secondary sources like historical documents and scholarly articles. These sources can provide a more complete and accurate understanding of the war and its impact. Additionally, he could consider visiting a museum or attending a lecture by a historian to gain insights from an expert in the field.
