Passage one
many experts today believe we have used nearly 50 percent of the earth’s oil resources. no big deal, right? we have 50 percent left! and yet there are some who suggest that such optimism is foolish. as the cost of drilling rises and the ability to extract oil from dwindling reserves becomes harder, production will not be able to keep up with demand.

passage two
alternative energy sources exist. like oil, other non-renewable sources of energy, such as coal and uranium, will either be used up or become too expensive to buy and process. manufactured energy, such as hydrogen, requires advanced technology. however, renewable sources, such as solar, wind, and water, will cushion the decline of limited energy resources.

based on these two passages, which of the following statements is true?

a. both authors are optimistic, because they provide examples of other usable resources besides oil.

b. both authors suggest that there will not be enough oil reserves to keep up with demand.

c. one author feels negatively about the future while the other is more hopeful.

d. one author is optimistic about the future while the other is not.

Read this excerpt from through the looking-glass by lewis carroll. "you might make a joke on that,” said the little voice close to her ear: "something about ‘you would if you could,’ you know.” "don't tease so,” said alice, looking about in vain to see where the voice came from; "if you're so anxious to have a joke made, why don't you make one yourself? ” the little voice sighed deeply: it was very unhappy, evidently, and alice would have said something pitying to comfort it, "if it would only sigh like other people! ” she thought. but this was such a wonderfully small sigh, that she wouldn't have heard it at all, if it hadn't come quite close to her ear. the consequence of this was that it tickled her ear very much, and quite took off her thoughts from the unhappiness of the poor little creature. what question should a reader ask to clarify what is happening in the story? who or what is the voice speaking to alice? when will alice attempt to share a joke? what secret will alice share with the new character? why do whispers tickle the listener?
