Ever since Sam had moved to the mountains, he had an interest in exploring caves. He had always been adventurous. Sam was small, but strong and stubborn.

Sam and his friend always went exploring caves together. They knew it was safer to explore with a friend than to go alone. Besides it was more fun. They had recently discovered a new cave opening, and plans were made to spend the next day exploring it.

When Sam arrived to pick up Harry, he found Harry sick with mumps. Harry would be at least two weeks getting well. Sam knew the winter snow would begin to fall soon and close the opening of the cave. Should he risk his safety and explore the cave? He couldn't stand the thought of waiting until spring to see the cave, so off he went.

Once inside, Sam found the cave to be all he had hoped for. The cave was large enough inside for him to stand and seemed to go back a long way. As he began making his way further in, Sam suddenly slipped and found himself on his back, drenched in an ice-cold pool of water. As he moved to get on his feet, a searing pain ran up his leg. Sam had sprained his ankle, and he could not climb out of the pool. "Why did I come alone?" he groaned.

Not long after, he heard a familiar voice calling from the cave entrance.

"Sam! Are you in there?"

"Yeah," Sam yelled back, "Ritchie! Is that you?"

"Yeah," shouted Ritchie, "Are you all right?" Ritchie made his way inside the cave towards Sam's voice. In the dim light, he could see Sam sitting in the pool. "What are you doing in that pool. It's cold in here."

Sam felt strong arms help him to his feet. "I fell in and sprained my ankle. How did you know I was here?"

"Harry knew you would try it alone", explained Ritchie, "so he gave me directions to the cave to make sure you were all right. It looks like it's a good thing I came when I did!"

Wrapped in a blanket and safe outside, Sam was sure he would never go exploring alone again.

Which excerpt from tinker v. des moines shows how precedent support an argument? a. "as we shall discuss, the wearing of armbands in the circumstances of this case was entirely divorced from actually or potentially disruptive conduct by those participating in it. it was closely akin to 'pure speech' which, we have repeatedly held, is entitled to comprehensive protection under the first amendment. cf. cox v. louisiana, 379 u.s. 536, 555 (1965); adderley v. florida, 385 u.s. 39 (1966)." b. "while the absence of obscene remarks or boisterous and loud disorder perhaps justifies the court's statement that the few armband students did not actually 'disrupt' the classwork, i think the record overwhelmingly shows that the armbands did exactly what the elected school officials and principals foresaw they would." c. "i, for one, am not fully persuaded that school pupils are wise enough, even with this court's expert from washington, to run the 23,390 public school systems [n4] in our 50 states." d. "under our constitution, free speech is not a right that is given only to be so circumscribed that it exists in principle, but not in fact. freedom of expression would not truly exist if the right could be exercised only in an area that a benevolent government has provided as a safe haven for crackpots."

Read the excerpt from hemingway’s a farewell to arms. we parked the cars beyond the brickyard. the ovens and some deep holes had been equipped as dressing stations. there were three doctors that i knew. i talked with the major and learned that when it should start and our cars should be loaded we would drive them back along the screened road and up to the main road along the ridge where there would be a post and other cars to clear them. which best describes hemingway’s style of writing in the excerpt? straightforward and simple, while still relating a lot of information to the reader long-winded and offering far too much information to the reader overly complicated, making it difficult to interpret and understand the text effortless and uncomplicated, with little meaning for the reader to interpret
