The next reading strategy you will use helps to organize the text into smaller sections. This strategy is called chunking the text. Look at the stanzas of the free-verse narrative passage from Under the Mesquite. Do any of them fit together? Are there clear transitions in the story? How would you chunk the text? Focus on one section at a time. Write an outline of how you organized the text into smaller sections.
señorita
Mami said life would change
after I turned fifteen,
when I became a señorita.
But señorita means different things
to different people.
For my friends Mireya and Sarita,
who turned fifteen last summer,
señorita means wearing lipstick,
which when I put it on
is sticky and messy,
like strawberry jam on my lips.
For Mami, señorita means
making me try on high-heeled shoes
two inches high
and meant to break my neck.
For Mami’s sisters, my tías
Maritza and Belén, who live in Mexico,
señorita means measuring me,
turning me this way and that
as they fit me for the floral dresses
they cheerfully stitch together
on their sewing machines.
For the aunts, señorita also means
insisting I wear pantyhose,
the cruel invention that makes
my thick, trunk-like thighs
into bulging sausages.
When my tías are done dressing me up
like a big Mexican Barbie doll,
I look at myself in the mirror.
Mami stands behind me
as I pull at the starched
flowered fabric and argue
with Mami’s reflection.
“Why do I have to wear this stuff?
This is your style, not mine!
I like jeans and tennis shoes.
Why can’t I just dress
like a normal teenager?
En los Estados Unidos, girls
don’t dress up like muñecas.”
“Señoritas don’t talk back
to their mothers,” Mami warns.
When my aunts aren’t looking,
she gives me a tiny pinch,
like a bee sting on the inside
of my upper arm. “Señoritas know
when to be quiet and let their
elders make the decisions.”
For my father, señorita means
he has to be a guard dog
when boys are around.
According to my parents,
I won’t be allowed to date
until I graduate from high school.
That’s fine with me.
I have better things to do than think about boys—
like prepare for my future.
I want to be the first one in our family
to earn a college degree.
For my sisters, señorita means
having someone to worship:
it is the wonder of
seeing their oldest sister
looking like Cinderella
on her way to the ball.
But for me, señorita means
melancolía: settling into sadness.
It is the end of wild laughter.
The end of chewing bubble gum
and giggling over nothing
with my friends at the movies, our feet up
on the backs of the theater seats.
Señorita is very boring
when we go to a fancy restaurant
decorated with Christmas lights
for the upcoming Posadas.
We sit properly, Papi, Mami,
and I, quietly celebrating
my fifteenth birthday
with due etiquette because
I’m trying my best
to be a good daughter and accept
the clipping of my wings,
the taming of my heart.
Being a señorita
is not as much fun
as I’d expected it to be.
It means composure and dignity.
Señorita is a niña,
the girl I used to be,
who has lost her voice.

Read the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars." By sending these children away, "you are handing them a death sentence," says José Arnulfo Ochoa Ochoa, an expert in Honduras with World Vision International, a Christian humanitarian aid group. This abrogates international conventions we have signed and undermines our credibility as a humane country. It would be a disgrace if this wealthy nation turned its back on the 52,000 children who have arrived since October, many of them legitimate refugees. Which phrase from the excerpt contains words with strong connotations that help describe the seriousness of the situation? "handing them a death sentence" "abrogates international conventions we have signed" "turned its back on the 52,000 children" "legitimate refugees"
Answer:
"handing them a death sentence"
Explanation:
The text shown in the question above reinforces the idea that the United States has not helped refugee children who are already very traumatized by the whole situation in which they are living. This is a very serious matter and it has to be dealt with at the level of severity that it imposes.
The author of the text admits that the United States has not only failed to help these children, but has put them in even more traumatic situations and then forced them to return to their country of origin, where they have fled war, hunger and misery. The text stresses that this is tantamount to giving these children a death sentence, as they are being criticized for helping and fleeing something very dangerous.

A) "handing them a death sentence"

To a Daughter with Artistic Talent
by Peter Meinke
I know why, getting up in the cold dawn
you paint cold yellow houses
and silver trees. Look at those green birds,
almost real, and that lonely child looking
(5) at those houses and trees.
You paint (the best way) without reasoning,
to see what you feel, and green birds
are what a child sees.
Some gifts are not given: you
(10) are delivered to them,
bound by chains of nerves and genes
stronger than iron or steel, although
unseen. You have painted every day
for as long as I can remember
(15) and will be painting still
when you read this, some cold
and distant December when the child
is old and the trees no longer silver
but black fingers scratching a grey sky.
(20) And you never know why (I was lying
before when I said I knew).
You never know the force that drives you wild
to paint that sky, that bird flying,
and is never satisfied today
(25) but maybe tomorrow
when the sky is a surreal sea
in which you drown . . .
I tell you this with love and pride
and sorrow, my artist child
(30) (while the birds change from green to blue to brown).
The final line of the poem suggests that —
A) the daughter will develop an interest in more practical pursuits as she matures
B) the speaker expects his daughter’s art to transform as she grows older
C) the daughter’s paintings will become more whimsical as she develops her technical skills
D) the speaker believes that his daughter will one day be a successful professional artist

Answer:

Explanation:

Amaría licking a Wolf cub is the image that would best represent the theme “Every creature in the world has a crucial role to play”.
What are Wolves?The wolf, commonly referred to as the gray wolf or grey wolf, is a big dog that is indigenous to North America and Eurasia. There are more than thirty different subspecies of Canis lupus, and gray wolves, as they are commonly known, are one of the wild subspecies. The wolf is the canidae family's largest living member.
Wolves are complicated, intellectual creatures that value family above all else. They are playful, compassionate, and complex creatures. Only a few other species clearly display these characteristics. In the same way that elephants, gorillas, and dolphins raise their young, tend to hurt, and live in family groups, wolves do the same.
Wolves can live up to 13 years in the wild, sometimes even longer. They can survive up to 15 years in captivity.
In reality, wolves and dogs belong to the same species. Despite sharing a similar physical appearance, they are very different in terms of instincts, temperament, and disposition. The largest wild member of the Canidae family is the gray wolf, or simply the wolf. The gray wolf has been domesticated into a dog.

Based on the context of the passage, which word means developed?
In the 1860s, a fossil of an avian or flying dinosaur known as Archaeopteryx was found. Scientists identified the fossil as a combination of bird and reptile. This discovery led to the theory that birds evolved from carnivorous avian dinosaurs. Archaeopteryx lived in the southern region of Germany during the Late Jurassic period when Germany had a tropical climate.
Answer:
evolved
Explanation:
The word develop means growing or advancing into another stage. In the passage, it is only the word "evolved" which means developed.
