Question 1 (1 point)
My riding experiences began three years ago at a local riding school. Watching horse races on television sparked my interest in learning to ride. The first day I arrived at the school, I was nervous but excited. When I stepped out of my car into the fresh air, I knew I had made the right decision. The horses in the barn neighed and whinnied at one another. I saw some of the other students taking their horses for a walk. Then, I mustered up courage and walked toward the barn.

Question 2 (1 point)
Which of these is written in the narrative mode?
a
Urban agriculture is an undertaking that our city just cannot afford at this time. How can we spend millions of dollars to clear the land and build a garden when we don’t have enough money in the budget to get our children the education they deserve? It seems like an expense that will just have to wait.
b
The most important aspect of urban agriculture is the way it fosters community. People who lived down the block from one another had never spoken before we planted the garden. Now, neighbors wave to each other on the street and have a real relationship.
c
I had never been to a farm before my class took a trip to a city garden. When we arrived, I spotted chickens walking around. There were even two goats grazing on a patch of grass. The tour guide explained the importance of city farmers while showing us around the tiny garden. She handed me a fresh green bean to try. It tasted really sweet!
d
I think that urban agriculture is a great solution to many of our city's problems. It’s difficult for many families to find fresh, affordable produce in the city. With a city garden right down the road, it would be easy for people to get the vegetables and fruits they need. This would also help our citizens begin to adopt healthier lifestyles.

Life is a web, with every strand connected to every other strand. For example, herds of caribou live in cold, Arctic locations. Caribou hate mosquitoes. In the past few years, warmer temperatures in summer have allowed mosquito populations to explode. So the caribou spend a lot more energy swatting away the mosquitoes. All this swatting leaves the caribou less energy to find food and prepare for the next long winter. Female caribou are especially troubled because it takes so much energy to give birth and raise their young.
