Jake wrote a story about a woman who goes sailing alone for the first time after taking sailing lessons. The woman needs to sail a small sailboat to the middle of a lake and back to shore in order to earn her sailing certification. Read the conclusion Jake wrote for his story. When Constance realized that the gentle breezes had died down, she began to panic. Her hands and knees shook, and she started to sweat. She tried everything she could think of, but she could not get the sail to fill with air. Constance decided to call her sailing instructor with her cell phone and ask for a tow back to shore.

Which statement best describes the conclusion and its likely effect on readers?

A. The conclusion includes details to help readers imagine the events. Readers will be satisfied because Constance gets back to shore.
B. The conclusion does not provide a resolution to Constance's problem. Readers will wonder if Constance gets saved and if she earns her sailing certification.
C. The conclusion is logical because Constance's success is dependent on the wind. Readers will be disappointed that Constance was not successful in the end, but they will think her actions make sense.
D. The conclusion provides a satisfying resolution because it makes sense that Constance has her cell phone with her. Readers will feel confident that Constance will try to earn her certification again.

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." those tests were constructed around items like fill-in-the-blank sentence completion, such as “even though tom was mary thought he was ” and the correct answer always seemed to be the most bland combinations of thoughts, for example, “even though tom was foolish, mary thought he was ridiculous.” well, according to my mother, there were very few limitations as to what tom could have been and what mary might have thought of him. so i never did well on tests like that. how does tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt? tan discusses the types of questions on achievement tests to support the idea that the tests limit students’ ability to write well. tan explains a question on a language achievement test to support the idea that the tests should include more interesting content. tan gives an example of her experience with achievement tests to support the idea that they are not always accurate measures of language ability. tan considers how her mother might answer a question on a test to support the idea that nonstandard english limits a person’s ability to communicate.
