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. I know it's a risky move, but the only way our business is going to grow is if we take calculated risks. Business has never been better, and our focus group data shows that people in Springdale would love to have one of our stores in their mall. If we do this right, we can be twice as profitable as we are now in three years. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Gabriela PS: We can even announce the expansion after that Channel 4 puff piece airs to take advantage of the attention we'll be getting!   Which of the following best captures the author's purpose?

A. revitalize a struggling business by opening a second location

B. improve a successful business by opening a second location

C. position herself as a more powerful leader than Gabriela

D. convince a colleague that they should do more research on where to open a second location

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.

Q #3: 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.
