Q #1: Beard Superiority Unlike most others who follow along with popular trends, I am able to truly see that the beard is superior to the mustache. First, you have so much more hair and space to work with when styling a beard than you do with a mustache. You can’t trim and cut a beard into so many styles, the Muttonchop, the Goatee, the Stubble, the Chin Strap. You can even add things to your beard, braids, beads, glitter, and color- the possibilities of what you can add to a beard are endless. There are even professional competitions that surround the stylish nature of beards. Which of the following is a counterclaim to the argument in the passage?
A. Beards may be a hazard in professional lines of employment
B. If you have a beard, you can dye it pink
C. The beard is not just a passing trend
D. You should grow a beard because they come in a variety of styles
Answer Explanation
This statement is a counter claim because it does not support the beard’s superiority.

Q #5: A day with Humpbacks I sat on the deadlands of Neah Bay, Washington, and watch a mother humpback and her calf slip through the icy Pacific waters. I recognize this effluence by her distinctive tall patterns, as unique to this humpback, as my fingerprints are to me. Once, heavy hunting using harpoons extirpated populations of humpbacks to recover. As this gray female rises to the surface, she exhales, sending up a spout nearly 20 feet high. She rolls on her side and lifts her scalloped edge flipper in salute the slaps it on the water. I adjust my lens and take shot. This is the only type of whale hunting I find acceptable – hunting with a camera. Which of the following statements about the passage is true?
A. In the passage, the water argues the benefits of photographing whales to enable their identification
B. In the passage, the writer argues that beluga whales are so endangered, you should only hunt them with your camera.
C. In the passage, the writer describes taking many photographs as the whale frolics in the icy Pacific Ocean
D. In the passage, the writer describes the whale surfacing, exhaling, and slapping her flipper on the water.
Answer Explanation
This is supported by the statements: “I watch a mother humpback and her calf slip through the icy Pacific waters.” and “As this gray female rises to the surface, she exhales, sending up a spout nearly 20 feet high. She rolls on her side and lifts her scalloped edge flipper in salute the slaps it on the water.”

Q #6: Dear Aunt Suzanne, I have a few minutes before I get on the bus from Galway back to Dublin and wanted to tell you how my class trip to Ireland is going. We just spent 2 days on inis Mor, the largest of the Aran Islands, which are just off the central west coast of Ireland. We took a ferry from Galway, a ride that takes about an hour and was quite gray and stormy. For an island that is only about 12 square miles, there is a lot to do and see on this Mor! After eating steak and vegetable stew and brown bread with butter, we went to the sweater market, where all kinds of woolen products are sold. The Aran Islands are known for their wool because sheep thrive here and generations have used woolen sweaters and hats to survive long cold days of fishing on the open sea. In fact, I learned that each family or clan has its own signature knitting pattern and some are able to tell which family someone belongs to by the pattern of their sweater! The Healy pattern is an interesting combination of twists and braids and I found you a birthday souvenir with a beautiful example. The next day, we rented bicycles and toured the island. We saw ancient rums, a prehistoric hill fort, and a white sand beach. We climbed down to a mysterious rock formation known as the “wormhole,” a rectangular hole in a stone shore that fills with thrashing waves ad looks like houses of a terrible serpent. The wormhole will be difficult to find, and when we stopped someone for directions, she only spoke Galect. Sometimes this island seems stuck in an earlier fame. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
A. Eva understands the Gaelic language
B. Bicycles are the only way to get around the island
C. The Worm Hole refers to a serpent
D. Healy is the name of an Iris family or clan
Answer Explanation
Eva states that, “I learned that each family or clan has its own signature knitting pattern and some are able to tell which family someone belongs to by the pattern of their sweater!
