My name is Luis. Two weeks ago on Saturday, my friend Justin and I were biking along Riverside Trail. The ride along the trail was so peaceful and quiet that Justin and I had barely spoken to one another at all. Then, to my surprise, all at once Justin shouted, "There’s something sparkling under those bushes. Let’s see what it is!"We got off our bikes, parked them beside the trail where they would be out of the way, and started searching under the bushes. Justin and I took the opportunity to cool off with a few sips of cold water, when I spotted something bright shining under the foliage and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! It’s a wallet with jewels on it." I went over to the spot, brushed away a few leaves, picked it up, and we saw that the wallet had sparkling imitation jewels."We should try to find the owner, so let’s see if there is some form of identification inside," I said. "This wallet must be something of great value to someone, and we should try to return it."After looking inside all the interior pockets of the wallet, we found three photographs, some money, and a library card for Mary Johnson. Justin said, "We can try to find Mary Johnson’s phone number on the Internet."We headed for the computer at Justin’s house and searched for Johnson in a directory for our town. We found eight Mary Johnsons and two M. Johnsons. There were just too many Mary and M. Johnsons to complete a successful search. Justin, in a sad and defeated voice asked, "Should we throw in the towel?"I said, "No, we shouldn’t give up; we have only started to look. We could start calling, but what if she lives in another town and only comes here to bike, or what if she has an unlisted number? We should look for other clues first, in order to narrow down the possibilities."Next, we examined the snapshots that had been carefully preserved inside the wallet. One was very old, and another was of a boy about two years old with William, 2011 written on the back. The third showed a girl about seven in front of Mount Rushmore, and Annalee, 2011 was written on the back. Justin guessed, "William and Annalee might be Mary Johnson’s children. On Monday, we could see if she goes to our school. But that’s a long time for Mary Johnson to wait for her wallet, so let’s look for other clues."We went through the wallet again and found, tucked in back, an appointment card for an eye examination at a mall in town. The appointment was for two o’clock—that same day! I said, "If we want this plan to succeed, we have to get to the mall before two o’clock, and we have no time to lose."Justin said, "My mom probably will drive us. I’ll ask her."So that is how we got to the mall at exactly three minutes before two. We hurried into the waiting room at the doctor’s office. Almost immediately a worried-looking woman came in. She said, "I have a two o’clock appointment. My name is Mary Johnson."Justin and I introduced ourselves and showed her the wallet. As soon as Mr. Johnson saw her wallet, the concerned look left her face and her eyes lit up. She smiled at us and said, "What a relief! I have been so upset all day. I have been beside myself!"Mrs. Johnson thanked us repeatedly. She was elated to have back her money and the photos of her children and great-grandparents. After we explained where we found the wallet, she said, "I took the children for a bike ride this morning. William was in a cart that I attach to my bike. He must have found the wallet in my bag and tossed it from the cart."She added, "You two deserve a reward," and she handed each of us five dollars. It was worth missing the rest of our Saturday bike ride, and it was fun using clues to solve the problem!This question has two parts. First, answer Part A. Then, answer Part B. Part A:How do Justin and Luis solve the main problem in the text?A. They search around in the bushes. B.They return the wallet. C.They ask Justin’s mother for a ride. D.They look for "Johnson" in a directory. Part B:Which sentence from the text best supports your answer to Part A?A."I went over to the spot, brushed away a few leaves, picked it up, and we saw that the wallet had sparkling imitation jewels."B."We should look for other clues first, in order to narrow down the possibilities."C."Justin said, ‘My mom probably will drive us.’"D."She smiled at us and said, ‘What a relief!’"

Read this excerpt from we’ve got a job: the 1963 children’s march. as king finished speaking, a young white man named roy james jumped onto the stage and attacked him with brass knuckles, slugging him in the back and jaw. rather than return the blows or even cover his face, king dropped his hands by his side and looked at his assailant. other ministers rushed to restrain james, but king stopped them. "don't touch him," he cried. "we have to pray for him." king put his arm around the man who had been attacking him. they talked quietly. the man, a member of the american nazi party, started crying and admitted that he had come there to prove that king was not nonviolent. the minister did not even press charges.
