Mahatma Ghandi was an inspirational leader who made a lot of sacrifices for the people of India. In 1921, Gandhi took charge of the Indian National Congress, a group of thirteen men in the Indian government who fought discrimination and unfair taxation against farmers and urban laborers. Using the nonviolent tactic of civil disobedience, Gandhi and his followers bravely resisted British control over Indian life, choosing not to follow unfair, discriminatory laws and policies. The British were not happy to see Ghandi and his followers rebelling in this way. The British responded to this resistance by strengthening their military presence in India, often at the cost of human lives. While Ghandi was fighting to gain more freedom for the people of India, the British government was, often violently, suppressing it. For his effort, Gandhi was eventually imprisoned in 1942 for his "radical" beliefs, but he refused to recognize violence as a means of fighting the British. He gained international attention for his hunger strikes, refusing to eat until the British changed their unjust policies. Which of the following best describes the author's portrayal of Gandhi?
A. positive and prejudiced
B. positive and objective
C. negative and prejudiced
D. negative and objective
Gandhi took charge of the Indian National Congress, a group of thirteen men in the Indian government who fought discrimination and unfair taxation against farmers and urban laborers. Using the nonviolent tactic of civil disobedience

Q #1: Before you begin cooking, make sure you have a clean skillet, bowl, cutting board, and knife. Dice the jalapenos, cilantro, onions, and tomatoes. Slice two small limes and juice them onto the mixture. Allow this to marinate while you begin to work on the taco meat. Take out your skillet and place it on the burner. Pour in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat at medium high heat. Add in the ground beef and two cloves of minced garlic. Season with generous amounts of chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Once the meat begins to brown, add two cloves of minced garlic. After the meat has cooked through, remove the mixture from the stove. Heat your tortillas in the same skillet you cooked the meat in if you like your tortillas crispy. Once your tortillas are warmed to your liking, load them up with the beef and the diced vegetables that have been marinating in lime juice. Top with crumbled queso fresco if desired.

Q #2: Many teachers across the country are noticing the importance of film in the modern classroom. No longer is putting a movie on meant as an invitation for students to check out while the teacher does work at their desk. Films are a versatile medium, and can function as textbooks, pieces of literature, or pieces of art that can bring a new dimension to a student's learning.

Which of the following sentences would be a supporting detail to explain how "Saving Private Ryan" could be used in the classroom?

Q #8: Disequilibrium at the interface of water and air is a factor on which the transfer of heat and water vapor from the ocean to the air depends. The air within about a millimeter of the water is almost saturated with water vapor and the temperature of the air is close to that of the surface water. Irrespective of how small these differences might be, they are crucial, and the disequilibrium is maintained by air near the surface mixing with air higher up, which is typically appreciably cooler and lower in water vapor content. The turbulence, which takes its energy from the wind mixes the air. As the speed of wind increases, so does the turbulence, and consequently the rate of heat and moisture transfer. We can arrive at a detailed understanding of this phenomenon after further study. The transfer of momentum from wind to water, which occurs when waves are formed is an interacting-and complicated phenomenon. When waves are made by the wind, it transfers important amounts of energy-energy, which is consequently not available for the production of turbulence. This passage principally intends to:
A. resolve a controversy
B. attempt a description at a phenomenon
C. sketch a theory
D. reinforce certain research findings
Answer Explanation
The author attempts to describe the phenomenon of disequilibrium at the interface of air and water as a factor on which the transfer of heat and water vapor from the ocean to the air depends.
