  DIRECTIONS: Read the passage carefully infer and draw conclusions from the facts presented in the text. The toothbrush as we know it today was not invented until 1938. However, early forms of the toothbrush have been in existence since 3000 BC. Ancient civilizations used a "chew stick," which was a thin twig with a frayed end. These 'chew sticks' were rubbed against the teeth. The bristle toothbrush, similar to the type used today, was not invented until 1498 in China. The bristles were actually the stiff, coarse hairs taken from the back of a hog's neck and attached to handles made of bone or bamboo. Boar bristles were used until 1938, when nylon bristles were introduced by Dupont de Nemours. The first nylon toothbrush was called Doctor West's Miracle Toothbrush. Later, Americans were influenced by the disciplined hygiene habits of soldiers from World War II. They became increasingly concerned with the practice of good oral hygiene and quickly adopted the nylon toothbrush. Which statement best explains the author's view of early forms of the toothbrush?
  A)
  They were extremely innovative. done clear
  B)
  They helped keep teeth clean. done clear
  C)
  They weren't very hygienic. done clear

  DIRECTIONS: Read the passage carefully infer and draw conclusions from the facts presented in the text. If you have ever seen a golf ball, you know it is a small round ball with a lot of little ridges or holes on it. Those ridges or holes are called dimples. Golf balls were not always made with dimples. The first golf balls were made from leather. They were stuffed with goose feathers. Some people called them featheries. All balls were made by hand and very expensive to buy. In the 1840s, the guttie ball was introduced. It was made of rubber. In the 1880s, the gutties began to be made with patterns on the balls. The most popular pattern was called Bramble. It was a series of bumps in circles on the balls. They bumps became popular because golfers realize that scratches and bumps on the surface helped the ball travel further. In the early 1900s, the golf balls golfers use today were first developed. They were made of two halves fused together so they had air in the middle. This made them lighter and helped them travel further. Companies then added the dimples to make the balls able to travel even further and much faster. Why do dimples make the balls travel faster and further? They create multiple layers of air around the ball. One layer moves faster than the other, which helps increase the ball's speed. Most golf balls today have between 300 and 500 dimples. Companies are constantly testing the number, depth, and position of the dimples to try to make sure they have the best golf ball available for every golfer. Some golfers may want a ball with more dimples. Some may want a ball with fewer dimples. It all depends on how they play the game. How is this passage organized?

  DIRECTIONS: Read the passage carefully infer and draw conclusions from the facts presented in the text.                       Can you imagine running a marathon from start to finish? Surviving 26 miles of running is quite a challenge for most people. Compared to the Bad water Ultra marathon held each year California, it is little more than a short walk. This difficult race covers more than one hundred miles and is equal to five marathons. It is held in the summer, so temperatures frequently hit triple digits. Runners have two full days to reach the finish line. During that time, they have to cross three mountain ranges. They commonly run into headwinds blowing up to 25 miles an hour. Each year, people from all over the world apply to be part of the race. The event's organizers have had to set up strict rules about who can participate. Only athletes who have proven they can endure such harsh running conditions are allowed. A sense of humour helps too. In 2012, one male runner completed the race wearing a pink tutu. Read this sentence from the text. Only athletes who have proven they can endure such harsh running conditions are allowed. Why does the author use the verb "endure" in this sentence?

  C)
