For most of the twentieth century, people with disabilities faced discrimination and were often kept at home. But the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, passed in 1990, has wrought many changes. For example, today more places are accessible to people in wheelchairs, and many people with disabilities have been enabled to live independently.

Read the excerpt from “Good Country People.” Mrs. Hopewell liked to tell people...how she had happened to hire the Freemans in the first place and how they were a godsend to her and how she had had them four years. The reason for her keeping them so long was that they were...good country people ...Before the Freemans she had averaged one tenant family a year...Mrs. Hopewell, who had divorced her husband long ago, needed someone to walk over the fields with her; and when Joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum... that Mrs. Hopewell would say, “If you can’t come pleasantly, I don’t want you at all,” to which the girl, standing square and rigid-shouldered with her neck thrust slightly forward, would reply, “If you want me, here I am—LIKE I AM.” Based on the excerpt, what inferences can be made about the story’s setting?

Island life offers the best of all worlds. Take Lummi Island, for example, the smallest of the San Juan Islands in northwest Washington and still a well-kept secret. Though its meager population quadruples to 4,000 with the summer tourist season, it never feels the slightest bit crowded. One can always find a deserted beach to roam or a forest path to explore. The mainland is only a 12-minute ferry ride away, so city life is within reach. Bainbridge Island, near Seattle, is another prime choice for those wishing to live somewhere with peace and quiet but proximity to a city. Many Seattle employees live on the island and commute each day to their downtown jobs. Vashon Island, near Tacoma, might seem too small for some. There is no "town" to speak of, but a quiet little artists' community thrives there.
Family homes on the islands mentioned above are no more expensive than on the mainland. Such houses offer stellar views of surrounding landscape, including mountains, waterways, and other scenic islands. Otter, bald eagles, seals, and even whales are frequent visitors to Pacific coastal islands. They are a nature lover's paradise and also offer perfect settings for stargazers and photographers. Quite a few island inhabitants were once tourists who found they couldn't bear to leave and made the island their home.
If there are drawbacks, they are only these: there is usually a minimum of culture in terms of theater or music events. But all that means is an excursion into town now and then to get your fix. The same is true if you want a wide variety of food or like to eat in restaurants. The only other minor drawback is the ferry schedule, which can be sporadic. There are also periods of time each year when ferries are in "dry dock" and not running due to planned or unplanned repairs. Still, for those wanting to escape the noise and stress of city life, islands are a perfect choice. They are among the nation's few remaining unspoiled places to call home.

Which sentence best summarizes the author's attitude in this selection?
A.
There is no "town" to speak of, but a quiet little artists' community thrives there.

But all that means is an excursion into town now and then to get your fix.

The community in the giver was not successful in creating a perfect world all with terrible things hiding in the community resurfaced. Chapter 14: “this memory, though the hill seemed to be a different one, steeper, and the snow was not falling as thickly as it had before.” “Jonas pulled at the rope, trying to steer, but the steepness and speed took control from his hands and he was no longer enjoying the feeling of freedom but instead, terrified, was at the mercy of the wild acceleration downward over the ice.” Chapter 15: “But the noise continued all around: the cries of the wounded men, the cries begging for water and for Mother and for death. Horses lying on the ground shrieked, raised their heads, and stabbed randomly toward the sky with their hooves. From the distance, Jonas could hear the thud of cannons. Overwhelmed by pain, he lay there in the fearsome stench for hours, listened to the men and animals die, and learned what warfare meant.” This displays memories of a time when society was not as utopian as people believe. Jonas experienced a new set of emotions: fear and anxiety. As Rule #5 states No one is supposed to have strong feelings.

Jonas is not accustomed to these new feelings.

III. The following paragraph contrasts the writer’s two cousins. Three major differences are identified, andeach of these is illustrated with several specific examples. Read the paragraph and circle anytransitions. Then write the transitions in the appropriate blanks below.OppositesMy cousins Joanne and Mary couldn’t be more different. First, Joanne is a total nonconformist. For one thing, Joanne’s appearance is bizarre. For example, her hair is partially shaved and dyed pink, and she’s covered in tattoos. In addition, her favorite clothes are ripped and have pictures on them of things like skulls. Furthermore, Joanne has a wild personality. For instance, she’ll do outrageous things, like the time she got her nose pierced. Another time, she hitchhiked to San Francisco at 2:00 a.m. Finally, when it comes to interests, Joanne is really into music. She plays the guitar in a punk rock band, and she loves to go to clubs and concerts to check out other bands. In contrast, Mary is the total opposite of Joanne. For one thing, Mary’s appearance is very conservative. For instance, her naturally blond hair is usually in a ponytail, and her favorite clothes are sweats or a soccer uniform. Unlike Joanne, Mary is the type of person who likes to follow the rules. For example, she’s never missed a day of school, and she can be relied on to be the designated driver any time she goes out to a party. Finally, Mary is a jock. She plays almost every sport, but soccer is her favorite. When she’s not playing sports, she’s watching them on television or in person. Truly, if I didn’t already know that Joanne and Mary are cousins, I would never guess that they’re related to each other because they’re complete opposites.1.What three transitions introduce Joanne’s character traits: nonconformist, wild personality, interests?________________________________________ ______________________2.List two transitions used in describing Mary that show contrast:______________________ _______________________3.List two transitions used to introduce examples:______________________ _______________________4.List two transitions used to add another example:______________________ _______________________5.
