However, the plesiosaur theory is not the only one. Many other ideas attempt to explain the sightings and "photographs." But two separate sonar surveys of the loch have not found any evidence of a creature larger than a salmon. The last survey,1 completed in 2007 by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), involved 600 different sonar beams. Using satellite navigation systems, the team made sure every inch of the loch was searched. The team found nothing.

What piece of textual evidence from Thank You, M'am shows that the boy cares about Mrs. Jones' opinion of him

1- The water dripping from his face, the boy looked at her. There was a long pause. A very long pause. After he had dried his face and not knowing what else to do dried it again, the boy turned around, wondering what next. The door was open. He could make a dash for it down the hall. He could run, run, run, run, run!

2- The woman did not ask the boy anything about where he lived, or his folks, or anything else that would embarrass him.

3- “You gonna take me to jail?” asked the boy, bending over the sink.

4- But the boy took care to sit on the far side of the room where he thought she could easily see him out of the corner of her eye, if she wanted to. He did not trust the woman not to trust him. And he did not want to be mistrusted now.

The Untiming of Ben and Ruby

Episode 3: Don't Count Your Dinosaur Eggs After They Hatch

When we last saw Ben and Ruby, they escaped a dinosaur attack in prehistory and gathered information about the Halszkaraptor escuilliei for Alexa. They also found a plastic water bottle near a bush.

When we were back in Ben's room, we realized that we'd been gone for only 20 minutes, but it felt like days. Ben and I were totally speechless. And our T-shirts were wet with prehistoric sweat. When we finally opened our mouths, only three words came out: plastic water bottle.

"Maybe a time traveler from the future left it, Ben," I said. "Maybe in the future, people go on dinosaur safaris. And the bottle was a piece of futuristic trash."

"Nice try, Ruby. But I doubt they still use plastic in the future. No, I'm thinking this has something to do with you-know-who."

"Dinner's almost ready," Ben's mom called from downstairs. I figured now was the time to come clean.

"There's…uh…something I have to tell you before I go," I said.

"What is it, Ruby?"

"I…uh…brought some stuff back with me…from prehistory."

"You WHAT?!!!!!"

"Just some duck-dino teeth," I said, pulling them out of my pocket, "and some eggshells—"

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?" Ben crazy-whispered. "You know what Alexa said. No souvenirs, NOT EVER. So why did you do it, Ruby? WHY?"

"Because they'll make one fabulous science fair project, that's why.

"We can't, Ruby—"

"C'mon, Ben," I said. "I mean, you did blow up our other science fair project—"

"Well, it isn't easy turning chicken poop into fuel—"

"Or pleasant. But the point is, we need a really great science fair project. Or we'll never beat out Eureka and Arno!"

Eureka Dalrymple and Arno Sevaris are the snootiest teacher's pets in the history of middle school. These two always get perfect grades in everything. And I've always wanted to bring them down a notch or two.

"But what if Alexa finds out?

"Who cares if she does? I mean, what's the worst she can do? Make us return the stuff?

"I dunno about this, Ruby…"

"One other thing. I want to use the video of the dinosaur hatching."

"What video? I didn't film it, Ruby. I just aimed the phone at it and those green lights—"

"I filmed it, Ben," I said, wagging my cell phone.

"You WHAT?!!!!!"

"And I see two big blue science fair ribbons in our future!"

The next morning, I told everyone in school that me and Ben found a duck-dinosaur egg down by Hellman Cove and filmed it hatching. I said that it was going to be our new science project and wait 'til Mr. Ensidine, our science teacher, saw it!

Everybody looked at me like I was nuts. Ben kept hiding in the boys' bathroom. And Eureka and Arno had a look of horror on their faces.

"Good!" I thought. "Pure jealousy!"

"But, Ruby," Mr. Ensidine asked me in science class, "how can a dinosaur egg survive millions of years?"

"How should I know, Mr. Ensidine?" I answered. "You're the scientist around here. All I know is what I saw—and filmed."

"C'mon, Ruby," he said, after he watched the video. "You and Ben cooked this up with video-editing software. Nice job, too!"

"Yeah," Eureka snarled, and Arno said, "It's a fake."

"Then how do you explain these?" I said. I pulled out the teeth and the eggshell pieces from my knapsack.

In a matter of hours, a Harvard paleontologist was on his way to look at them. Everybody in town was out looking for the hatched duck-dino. And Alexa sent us back to prehistory to return everything.

"OUTRAGEOUS!" she thundered as the pale blue light and orange shimmers turned to blackness.

"I'm never talking to you again," Ben muttered as we placed the teeth and the eggshells outside the cave. And that's when I found the Snickers wrapper stuck in a bush.

Please read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell and answer the questions that follow.

1 An apprehensive night crawled slowly by like a wounded snake and sleep did not visit Rainsford, although the silence of a dead world was on the jungle. Toward morning when a dingy gray was varnishing the sky, the cry of some startled bird focused Rainsford's attention in that direction. Something was coming through the bush, coming slowly, carefully, coming by the same winding way Rainsford had come. He flattened himself down on the limb and, through a screen of leaves almost as thick as tapestry, he watched. . . . That which was approaching was a man.

2 It was General Zaroff. He made his way along with his eyes fixed in utmost concentration on the ground before him. He paused, almost beneath the tree, dropped to his knees and studied the ground. Rainsford's impulse was to hurl himself down like a panther, but he saw that the general's right hand held something metallic--a small automatic pistol.

3 The hunter shook his head several times, as if he were puzzled. Then he straightened up and took from his case one of his black cigarettes; its pungent incenselike smoke floated up to Rainsford's nostrils.

4 Rainsford held his breath. The general's eyes had left the ground and were traveling inch by inch up the tree. Rainsford froze there, every muscle tensed for a spring. But the sharp eyes of the hunter stopped before they reached the limb where Rainsford lay; a smile spread over his brown face. Very deliberately he blew a smoke ring into the air; then he turned his back on the tree and walked carelessly away, back along the trail he had come. The swish of the underbrush against his hunting boots grew fainter and fainter.

5 The pent-up air burst hotly from Rainsford's lungs. His first thought made him feel sick and numb. The general could follow a trail through the woods at night; he could follow an extremely difficult trail; he must have uncanny powers; only by the merest chance had the Cossack failed to see his quarry.

6 Rainsford's second thought was even more terrible. It sent a shudder of cold horror through his whole being. Why had the general smiled? Why had he turned back?

7 Rainsford did not want to believe what his reason told him was true, but the truth was as evident as the sun that had by now pushed through the morning mists. The general was playing with him! The general was saving him for another day's sport! The Cossack was the cat; he was the mouse. Then it was that Rainsford knew the full meaning of terror.




This passage is told in third-person point of view. As a result, which of the following is true?

Question 1 options:

The narrator is an observer and not a character in the story.


The reader does not know what Rainsford is thinking.


The reader does not know what any of the characters are thinking.


The narrator is a character in the story.
