Read the following text:
Plastic grocery bags are a relatively recent Invention. Polyethylene, the substance used to create plastic, was created in 1933. In 1953, a denser plastic was invented, which was used to make
plastic grocery bags. First, a company called Celloplast requested a patent for plastic tubing in 1960. Then, Gustaf Thulin Sten had the idea of removing some of the plastic to create handies. The
patent for plastic bags in the shape of a t-shirt was obtained in 1965. Finally, the Mobil Chemical company began to produce plastic bags in 1977. These plastic bags were introduced to America in
1979. However, the plastic grocery bags were not widely used or accepted. In 1985, a speaker at a regional conference explained that plastic bags were more cost-efficent than paper. By the end
of 1985, most supermarkets carried plastic grocery bags.

Select the correct text in the passage. which two sentences in this excerpt from f. scott fitzgerald's "winter dreams" seem to foreshadow dexterâs future obsession with âpossessingâ judy jones? now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained. they persuaded dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the state universityâhis father, prospering now, would have paid his wayâfor the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the east, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. but do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. he wanted not association with glittering things and glittering peopleâhe wanted the glittering things themselves. often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted itâand sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.

Read the excerpt from "home front diary." jimmy simmons stopped by today to tell me that he had enlisted in the army. he asked me if i would write to him, and i said i would. i told him that i've been writing to my uncle arthur and susan's cousin john for about a year, and as an experienced correspondent i had some advice about all the censorship. "don't write down any information about your location or the number of soldiers in your unit because the censors will cut all of that away," i said. "in my experience, loose lips not only sink ships, they make letters look like snowflake decorations! â well, he belly laughed over that one. how is the author's perspective different from jimmy's? the author has been to war and she can give jimmy advice. jimmy has become a soldier and does not believe the authorâs advice. the author has experience writing to soldiers but jimmy does not. jimmy has more experience at letter writing than the author.
