Read the excerpt from Frida Kahlo by Hedda Garza.

At a get-together at Modotti’s home, Kahlo saw Diego Rivera again. Later, he did not remember the shy young girl quietly watching the crowd of celebrities. But Kahlo was fascinated by the impetuous Rivera. In many ways they were alike. Both were outrageous pranksters and born masters of exaggeration. . . . "I began to be very interested in him, in spite of the fear I had of him,” she later recalled.

That interest would turn into the love of her life.

Which detail from this excerpt best supports the opinion that Diego Rivera was a fun and spontaneous person?

Kahlo saw Rivera at Modotti’s home.
Kahlo and Rivera both liked playing pranks.
Kahlo and Rivera were much alike.
Kahlo was shy at their first meeting.

Read this paragraph. Jodi, Jan, and Seth peered out the window. They could not believe that a line was forming! Their flier had advertised tryouts for a garage band guitarist, because Epic Noise had been one musician short since their friend Zach moved to Michigan. Now it looked as though their need would be met. Eleven or twelve kids their age lined the driveway, some propping up oversize cases, and others with guitars strapped on their backs. The three hosts of the audition believed that they would find what they were listening for among the assembled crowd. Which statement best summarizes this paragraph? Jodi, Jan, and Seth are hoping to form a band with the eleven or twelve kids lined up on the driveway. Jodi, Jan, and Seth hope to find a better guitarist than Zach, because he was not dedicated to the group. The Epic Noise band members are excited to perform for the group of kids assembled on the driveway. The Epic Noise band members are optimistic about their chances of filling their need for a guitarist at their audition.

Developing Robot Brains
Scientists have been working on how to build robot brains that develop in the same way as human brains. In the past, scientists have tried to copy human brains exactly. The trouble is, there is still so much that scientists do not know about how human brains work. But a group of scientists at Michigan State University have developed a new plan. They are using nature as an example to follow for robots. We know that things change and adapt in nature. These scientists want to make robots that can change and adapt, too. The robots would learn to do tasks over time. The goal is to have robots with brains that develop like human brains do, over many years.One task this team of scientists worked on was to get robots to enter and exit a room. This action is easy for humans to complete, but not for robots. The scientists used a math equation to program the robots on this task. They created a program where the robots had to work on the task in connection with other robots. The robots watched each other and took on special roles for the task. This made them more successful. Then, the robot brains that worked the best on a task were the models used for future brains. This is very much like what happens in nature. A characteristic that works well for an animal gets passed on to its babies.Overall, this group of scientists thinks that following what happens in nature is the key to creating robots that can think like humans. The robot brains will start young, like humans. Robots will learn and explore for many years. Then they will develop higher intelligence and understanding. This is very much like how human brains develop!

Problem Solving with Peanuts and Sweet Potatoes
For years, farmers in Alabama grew cotton and nothing else. As a result, farmers had damaged fields that could no longer cultivate crops. The fields broke down from planting the same thing year after year. Then, in 1914, a pest called a boll weevil destroyed crops. The solution to this problem came from George Washington Carver, an African-American scientist and inventor. He discovered that the soil in Alabama grew peanuts and sweet potatoes well. Carver suggested that farmers grow peanuts and sweet potatoes to help the soil.


This plan worked. Farms began producing peanuts and sweet potatoes. However, not many people bought these foods. Farmers struggled to earn a living. Carver responded to this situation with more research. He wanted farmers to keep planting these crops. He experimented and made products from peanuts and sweet potatoes. Carver made 300 other things from peanuts, such as flour, milk, ink, and dye. He made about 100 products from sweet potatoes, including glue and ink. By 1940, peanuts became the second leading crop to make money in the South. Carver changed how cotton was grown and made many other crops important to the South.

Read the excerpt from A Short Walk Around the Pyramids and through the World of Art.

This piece of sculpture is very different from ancient Greek carving, though it, too, is part of an old religious tradition. It is made of hard wood covered with small plates of brass and copper and comes from Gabon, a West African country that straddles the equator. It was made by the Kota, a group of tribes who worship in similar ways, and who have made figures such as this for a hundred years, and probably much longer.

Which text feature would best strengthen the reader's understanding of the text?

a photograph of the West African sculpture
a map of the countries in West Africa
a sidebar about the West African tribe
a table comparing Greek and West African sculpture

Read the excerpt from Frida Kahlo by Hedda Garza.

Because of Rivera’s international reputation, most visitors approached him with deference. Kahlo threw caution to the winds, shouting out, "Diego, come down!”

Curious to know more about the daring young girl below, the bulky Rivera made the slow descent to the ground floor. Kahlo wasted no time in preliminaries. . . . "I have come to show you my paintings,” she told him audaciously. She told him her name and Rivera remembered that just a few years earlier, the director of the National Preparatory had told him that the girl who had caused him so much trouble was the same Frida Kahlo. Instead of becoming angry at Kahlo’s audacity, the unconventional artist was delighted to meet his former tormentor face to face.

Which detail from the text best supports the opinion that Frida Kahlo was a confident woman?

Most people showed respect for Diego Rivera.
Kahlo yelled boldly to get Rivera’s attention.
Rivera came quickly to meet Frida Kahlo.
A school director told Rivera about Kahlo.
