Q #1: A Day with Humpbacks I sit on the headlands of Neah Bay, Washington, and watch a mother humpback and her calf slip through the icy Pacific waters. I recognize this whale by her distinctive tail pattern, as unique to this humpback as my fingerprints are to me. Once, heavy hunting using harpoons extirpated the species from the region, and only a ban on whaling allowed 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, then slaps it on the water. Fadjust my lens and take my shot. This is the only type of whale hunting I find acceptable with a camera. Which of the following statements about the passage is true?

A. In the passage, the writer argues the benefits of photographing whales to enable their identification.

B. In the passage, the writer describes taking many photographs as the whale frolics in the icy Pacific Ocean.

C. In the passage, the writer describes the whale surfacing, exhaling, and slapping her flipper on the water.

D. In the passage the writer argues that beluga whales are so endangered, you should only hunt them with your camera.

Answer Explanation

The passage indeed describes the author's observation of the humpback whale surfacing, exhaling, and displaying specific behaviors like slapping its flipper on the water.
Q #2: 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 Inis Mor! After eating steak and vegetable stew and brown bread with butter, we went to the sweater market, where all kinds of woolen products were 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 ruins, a prehistoric hill fort, and a white sand beach. We also climbed down to a mysterious rock formation known as The Worm Hole" a rectangular hole in a stone shore that fills with thrashing waves and looks like it houses a terrible serpent (see attached photo). The Worm Hole was difficult to find, and when we stopped someone for directions, she only Spoke Gaelic Sometimes this island seems stuck in an earlier time. Which of the following additional sources would have a comparable theme to the passage?

A. A journal entry about Dublin's food and weather

B. An essay about Irish agriculture

C. A postcard sent from the Aran Islands

D. An instructional book on knitting

Answer Explanation

An instructional book on knitting would have a comparable theme to the passage because it would also focus on the knitting patterns and traditions mentioned in the passage, particularly in relation to the Aran Islands' woolen products and their cultural significance.
