Q #2: Swimming has developed from a primal mode of movement to an advanced hobby and competitive sport. Exercising nearly every muscle group, swimming is a rigorous sport and requires intense training. In competitions swimmers typically contend for the fastest time to complete a certain distance by performing a specific swimming stroke. Also, swimmers work to build endurance and an ability to swim over long distances. Because swimming has developed into a highly intricate competitive sport, where one wrong technique can disqualify a participant, it is interesting to ponder how the sport will evolve for people in the future, either advancing into a progressive purpose or regressing to a primal mode of movement.   Which of the following situations would fulfill the author's prophecy for swimming?

A. humans settling on the moon use swimming techniques to move through space

B. swimming remains a competitive Olympic sport

C. animals, including amphibians, begin to swim instinctively upon birth, as a dominant genetic trait

Q #4: Delaying their initial entry to school can cause some children to actually fall behind their peers in learning. Some studies have shown differing early childhood academic achievement results when comparing children from low-income families with those living in middle-income homes Children from low- income homes tend to begin school with weaker skills than their peers from more advantaged backgrounds. Holding young children back a year before they begin their academic career is sometimes thought to help them mature before beginning school. This practice may actually backfire for some of those children from low-income households. During the additional year at home, these children are thought to miss opportunities to cultivate the basic skills that they could develop while taking part in a learning environment-skills suggested to be absent in some low-income families.   Consider a revision which replaces the terms low-income and middle-income with the terms poor and normal. What effect would this change have on the passage?

A. It would make the passage more specific

B. It would make the passage inaccurate

C. It would make the passage less academic

D. It would make the passage biased.

Answer Explanation

It makes it inaccurate since low income is not synonymous to abnormal and middle income is not synonymous to normal.
Q #5: Sonja,I think it's time for us to open a new location. We've been talking about doing it forever and I'm afraid that if we don't do it now, we'll never do it.

Q #7: Mahatma Ghandi was an inspirational leader who made a lot of sacrifices for the people of India.

Q #10: Attempted Assassination of Secretary Seward DETAILS OF THE DREADFUL TRAGEDY Official War Department, Washington April 15, 1:30 AM. Maj. Gen. Dis. This evening at about 9:30 PM. at Ford's Theatre, the President, while sitting in his private box with Mrs. Lincoln, Mr. Hamis, and Major Rathburn was shot by an assassin, who suddenly entered the box and appeared behind the President. The assassin then. leaped upon the stage, brandishing a large dagger or knife, and made his escape in the rear of the theatre. The pistol ball entered the back of the President's head and penetrated nearly through the head The wound is mortal The President has been insensible ever since it was inflicted, and is now dying. The pretense of having a prescription, was shown to the Secretary's sick chamber. The assassin immediately rushed to the bed, and inflicted two or three stabs on the throat and two on the face. It is hoped the wounds may not be mortal. My apprehension is that they will prove fatal. The nurse alarmed Mr. Frederick Seward, who was in an adjoining room, and hastened to the door of his father's room, when he met the assassin, who inflicted upon him one or more dangerous wounds. The recovery of Frederick Seward is doubtful. It is not probable that the President will live throughout the night. Gen. Grant and wife were advertised to be at the theatre this evening, but he started to Burlington at 6 o'clock this evening. At a Cabinet meeting at which Gen. Grant was present, the subject of the state of the country and the prospect of a speedy peace was discussed. The President was very cheerful and hopeful, and spoke very kindly of Gen. Lee and others of the Confederacy, and of the establishment of government in Virginia. All the members of the Cabinet except Mr. Seward are now in attendance upon the President. I have seen Mr. Seward, but he and Frederick were both unconscious. Edwin M.
