2 Name: Date: English I, 3rd Quarter, Week 3 Question 1 of 10 A Day of Glory for Carlos Carlos held the bat in his hand. Perhaps this would be his day of glory. He sighed, and thought of the long season of strikeouts and fly balls that was almost over. It had been a dreary, depressing string of losing games. The only reason that he ever got to play was that four of the starting players had caught mononucleosis and were confined to their homes. A glimmer of determination sparkled in his eyes. He'd show everyone that he was the best baseball player on this field. He gave the bat a couple of practice swings, and then stepped up to home plate. His teammates gave a few of weak calls of encouragement behind him. Silence descended on the baseball field. The pitcher regarded Carlos with a cold, steely glare and then let the ball fly. Carlos tensed as the ball spun toward him. He swung the bat smoothly and powerfully. A satisfying crack split the air and Carlos raced for first base, chased by cheers and hoots from the stands. What happened immediately before the pitcher threw the ball? A. The pitcher looked at Carlos. B. Carlos hit a fly ball. C. Carlos swung the bat. D. The fans in the stands cheered.

3 Question 2 of 10 A would be the best idea development strategy for a technical paper on how to install additional memory on a home computer. A. web diagram B. Venn diagram C. random list D. flow chart Question 3 of 10 A Reporter's Conclusions about Rufus MacPhee (And No, I'm Not a Fan of That Swindler) Rufus is a clueless little mouse, scampering about on the floor, with no idea that the sharp eyes of a hunting cat are on him, waiting to pounce. Rufus is a pig, basking contentedly in the sun, while the farmer sharpens the ax. Rufus is the idyllic tropical beach that glistens in the sun, with no possible precognition that a hurricane is on its way. Rufus thinks I am his friend, but I'm onto him. He has even shared some of his secrets with me, thinking they would be safe, but it will be a cruel lesson to him when he learns otherwise. The importing business he runs is a snake's nest of thieves and traitors. He is corrupt and lazy, and his success is offensive to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear. Even though he pretends to be oblivious to the crimes others have committed to aid him in his rise to the top, ignorance of wrongdoing is not the same as innocence. I've got the evidence, and I've got the ear of the police chief of New York City. Today is the beginning of the end for Rufus MacPhee. Based on these two passages, which statement is true? A. MacPhee paid for his trip to Switzerland with funds stolen from the MacPhee Hunger Project. B. MacPhee deposited illegally obtained money in a Swiss bank account. C.
