Read the following passage carefully and summarize it in ONE sentence.

The truth about pigs is that their reputation for being dull and dirty is undeserved. The pig is actually a curious and intelligent animal. For instance, a pig will not take anything for granted; it will poke, and prod something until it arrives at a conclusion. A pig’s intelligence is so keen that the animal needs to do something only once – such as turn on an automatic drinking fountain – to know how to do it again. Furthermore, pigs are basically no dirtier than any other farm animal. Because pigs don’t sweat, they seek out water in order to cool off. On a farm, the water that a pig finds is usually in a mud puddle. However, the pig would be just as happy splashing in a bathtub since it is water, not dirt that pigs.
​

Answer:

Pigs are quite clever animals whose genius are overshadowed by their desire to get dirty; which is highlighted by the fact that they can do something once and learn it.

Which sentence in the story best indicates that it Is an emergence creation story?
In the beginning all men lived together in the lowest depths, In a reglon of darkness and moisture; their bodles were misshapen and
horrible, and they suffered great misery.
By appealing to Myuingwa (a vague conception of the god of the Interior) and Baholinkonga (plumed serpent of enormous size, genius of
water) their old men obtalned a seed from which sprang a magic growth of cane.
The cane grew to miraculous height and penetrated through a crevice in the roof overhead, and mankind climbed to a higher plane. Here
was dim light and some vegetation. Another magic cane brought them to a higher plane, with more light and vegetation, and here was the
creation of the animal kingdom. Singing was always the chlef magic for creating anything. In like manner, they rose to the fourth stage or
Earth; some say by a pine tree, others say through the hollow cylinder of a great reed or rush.
This development was accompanied by singing-some say by the Magic Twins, the two little war gods; others say by the mockingbird. At
any rate, It is Important to observe that when the song ran out, no more people could get through and many had to remain behind.
However, the outlet through which man came has never been closed, and Myulngwa sends through It the germs of all living things.

Read the selection and answer the question. Excerpt from "Homeless" by Anna Quindlen (1) People find it curious that those without homes would rather sleep sitting up on benches or huddled in doorways than go to shelters. (2) Certainly some prefer to do so because they are emotionally ill, because they have been locked in before and they are [darned] if they will be locked in again. (3) Others are afraid of the violence and trouble they may find there. (4) But some seem to want something that is not available in shelters, and they will not compromise, not for a cot, or oatmeal, or a shower with special soap that kills the bugs. (5) "One room," a woman with a baby who was sleeping on her sister's floor, once told me, "painted blue." (6) That was the crux of it; not size of location, but pride of ownership. (7) Painted blue.

Read the excerpt from Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “Death by Black Hole.”

If you stumbled upon a black hole and found yourself falling feet-first toward its center, then as you got closer, the black hole’s force of gravity would grow astronomically. Curiously, you would not feel this force at all because, like anything in free fall, you are weightless. What you do feel, however, is something far more sinister. While you fall, the black hole’s force of gravity at your two feet, they being closer to the black hole’s center, accelerates them faster than does the weaker force of gravity at your head. The difference between the two is known officially as the tidal force, which grows precipitously as you draw nearer to the black hole’s center. For Earth, and for most cosmic places, the tidal force across the length of your body is minuscule and goes unnoticed. But in your feet-first fall toward a black hole the tidal forces are all you notice.

Which sentence from the excerpt best supports the idea that falling into a black hole would be excruciatingly painful?
Curiously, you would not feel this force at all because, like anything in free fall, you are weightless.
What you do feel, however, is something far more sinister.
For Earth, and for most cosmic places, the tidal force across the length of your body is minuscule and goes unnoticed.
But in your feet-first fall toward a black hole the tidal forces are all you notice.
