.Read the rough-draft paragraph.

Exercising daily is one of the best ways to help the body fight fatigue, illness, stress, and weight gain. Whether taking a bike ride, enjoying a walk, or going for a swim, the type of activity is not as important as exercising consistently. Often, people begin the new year with the resolution of exercising, but within a few months that commitment is quickly forgotten. The key is to choose something that is accessible, enjoyable, and affordable. Exercising just thirty minutes a day not only strengthens the heart and lungs, but it also helps to boost one’s energy. Another way to feel more energized is to eat a balanced diet. Since no single food item can supply the body with everything it needs, it is important to eat a variety of foods. So to maintain a long, happy life, get out there and get moving, and enjoy a wide range of healthy meals.

Which statement best describes the mistake the writer makes in this paragraph?

Western Wagons
They went with axe and rifle, when the trail was still to blaze,
They went with wife and children, in the prairie-schooner days,
With banjo and with frying pan—Susanna, don't you cry!
For I'm off to California to get rich out there or die!

We've broken land and cleared it, but we're tired of where we are.
They say that wild Nebraska is a better place by far.
There's gold in far Wyoming, there's black earth in Ioway,
So pack up the kids and blankets, for we're moving out today!

The cowards never started and the weak died on the road,
And all across the continent the endless campfires glowed.
We'd taken land and settled but a traveler passed by—
And we're going West tomorrow—Lordy , never ask us why!

We're going West tomorrow, where the promises can't fail.
O'er the hills in legions, boys, and crowd the dusty trail!
We shall starve and freeze and suffer. We shall die, and tame the lands.
But we're going West tomorrow, with our fortune in our hands.

Read the excerpt from stanzas 3 and 4 of "The Turtle.”

It isn’t even hers but came to her
in the rain or the soft wind,
which is a gate through which her life keeps walking.

She can’t see
herself apart from the rest of the world
or the world from what she must do
every spring.
Crawling up the high hill,
luminous under the sand that has packed against her skin,
she doesn’t dream

Based on what is happening in this part of the poem, the repeated "s” sound most likely relates to

o the natural flow of the turtle’s actions.
o the turtle’s difficulty building a nest.
o how the turtle views the seasons.
o how the sand feels to the turtle.

Did you ever put a pencil into a clear glass of water and look at it carefully? Did it look as if the pencil bent or came apart where it went into the water? You were seeing an example of ,begin bold,refraction,end bold,. The pencil wasn't bent, but the image of it was.

The images we see come to us in light waves. Light changes speed slightly when it goes from one transparent material to another—from air to water, for instance, or from the air to your eyeball. The difference in speed changes the direction of the light waves, a change called refraction.

,begin bold,Lenses,end bold, are transparent materials formed with at least one curved surface. Lenses refract light so that an image is focused smaller or larger, depending on the shape of the lens.

A ,begin bold,concave,end bold, lens is thinner in the middle than at the edge. It spreads light waves out as they pass through it. Microscopes and magnifying glasses use concave lenses. They refract light into larger images.

A ,begin bold,convex,end bold, lens is thicker in the middle than at the edges—curved out, like the surface of our eyeballs. Convex lenses bend light waves together, focusing them to a point.

Your eye is much smaller than the things it sees. How can it shrink all the light from all the objects around you down to an image that will fit into your head? The convex lens in your eye bends the light waves, concentrating them into a tiny image on the retina behind your eyeball.
