There are several differences between reptiles and birds. One key difference involves the skeletal structure between the two and the fact that birds have wings. Reptiles have solid bones that are dense and they travel on land or in the water. Birds have hollow or pneumatic bones filled with air that are lighter and allow them to fly. In addition, birds have a lightweight beak instead of teeth, or a heavy jaw.
Birds __________.
A. can travel faster than reptilesExtreme care must be exercised to ensure proper handling and cleaning of soiled U.S. flags. A torn flag may be professionally mended, but a badly torn or tattered flag should be destroyed. When the flag is in such a condition that it's no longer a fitting emblem for display, destroy it in a dignified manner, preferably by burning.
According to this passage, torn flags should be __________.
A. mendedMany Americans do not exercise at all and this lack of movement may be caused by lack of accurate information. There are those who think that they must be active for a long period of time each day. While more exercise is better, the minimum recommendation is only 30 minutes per day and you can split that into several shorter periods. Others think that they need a gym membership to get "proper" exercise. Actually, various activities can provide the needed movement, including gardening, walking, and dancing, if you move enough while doing them. There is a great deal of misinformation about exercise in magazines and on TV. Even friends can misrepresent what is actually needed to stay in shape.
The author of the above passage would agree that __________.
A. the cost of gym membership does not matter to most peopleTucked away in Southeast Portland near the Sellwood Bridge is Oaks Amusement Park, one of the oldest continuously operated amusement parks in the United States. A modest operation, the park currently includes about two dozen rides that operate seasonally, a skating rink that is open year-round, and picnic grounds. The Oaks has been a part of the lives of many Portlanders and other Oregonians for nearly a hundred years, and many people hold fond memories of it.
From the above passage, the reader can infer that __________.
A. Oaks Amusement Park is very easy to findDue process, the guarantee of fairness in the administration of justice, is part of the 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The 14th Amendment further requires states to abide by due process.

According to the above passage, it's reasonable to assume that the 5th Amendment ___________.
A. is about taxesThe fierce and warlike tribe, called the Huns, who'd driven the Goths to seek new homes, came from Asia into Southeastern Europe and took possession of a large territory lying north of the River Danube. During the first half of the fifth century, the Huns had a famous king named Attila. He was only 21 years old when he became their king. But although he was young, he was very brave and ambitious, and he wanted to be a great and powerful king. As soon as his army was ready, he marched with it into countries, which belonged to Rome. He defeated the Romans in several great battles and captured many of their cities. The Roman Emperor Theodosius had to ask for terms of peace. Attila agreed that there should be peace, but soon afterwards he found out that Theodosius had formed a plot to murder him. He was so enraged at this that he again began war. He plundered and burned cities wherever he went, and at last the emperor had to give him a large sum of money and a portion of the country south of the Danube.
After terms of peace were offered, Attila resumed the war against Rome because __________.
A. he discovered the Emperor wanted to assassinate himMainstream news reports, that focus on averting global warming, have asked questions such as "How much will this cost?" and "How much will we have to cut back on economic growth?" Such irresponsible and naive questions highlight the scale of self-interests and ignorance that dominate national debate. If we are not part of the solution (attempting to seriously reduce carbon emissions), then we are part of the problem (ignoring the serious consequences of global warming). Whatever the `costs' are to save the planet, this will be our greatest challenge and our greatest investment and, if we fail in this task, then we will perish.
The author of the above passage would probably support __________.
A. people who ignore the consequences of global warmingThis is a portion of a position statement by the National Association for the Deaf (NAD) concerning American Sign Language (ASL): Developments in the field of linguistics and an emerging body of research in education have validated the historical views of the NAD on ASL and its value in the education of deaf and hard of hearing children. The inherent capability of children to acquire ASL should be recognized and used to enhance their cognitive, academic, social, and emotional development. Accordingly, the NAD supports the bilingual approach for deaf and hard of hearing children. Deaf and hard of hearing children must have the right to receive early and full exposure to ASL as a primary language, along with English. Studies have shown that when deaf and hard of hearing children are exposed to ASL at an early age, they are given the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Within the context of the above passage, which of these most nearly means emerging as it is used in the first sentence?
A. moving outThe success or failure of a conference lies largely with its leader. A leader's zest and enthusiasm must be real, apparent, and contagious.

A good title to this paragraph would be ___________.
A. Lead by ExampleIf you are thirsty, most likely you are already dehydrated. Most people underrate the importance of drinking water all day long.
