From which point of view is this passage written?: A hunter from Pennsylvania claims he has pictures of the legendary Bigfoot. Rick Jacobs says that he snapped pictures of the creature in September 2007. Jacobs had set up a camera in a tree in the Allegheny National Forest. Jacobs says that he will not tell the exact place where the picture was taken. He thinks that hunters and tourists will flood the area to try to see Bigfoot. The Bigfoot Field Research Organization says that the picture is of a young Bigfoot. The animal has two arms and two legs but walks hunched over. Jacobs had sent copies of the pictures to the group. He says he wanted proof that the pictures are actually of Bigfoot. Some say that the pictures of Bigfoot are most likely of a bear. The Pennsylvania Game Commission argues that they have seen pictures like this before. It appears to be a bear with a possible skin disease.

Once a farmer and a potter jointly hired a camel, and each filled one side of the saddle with his goods. As he went along the road, the camel took a mouthful every now and then from the farmer's bag of vegetables. This provoked a laugh from the potter, who thought he had the best of the bargain. But the time came for the camel to sit, and he naturally sat on the heavier side, bearing down on the pots. This caused the pots to break in the bag, and then the farmer had all the laughs to himself. What is the theme of this passage?

Greediness doesn't pay off in the end.

Tina was really excited about going to Yellowstone National Park. She had heard so much about the geysers, the bison, the water, and the mountains! As the day of the trip approached, Tina spent days dreaming about the park. Her grandmother was also joining them on the trip, and Tina could not be happier.
It was the night before the trip, and Tina was too excited to sleep. She did not even hear her grandmother asking her to double-check the suitcase.
"Have you packed warm clothes?" Grandma Rose had asked. "You never know about the weather up there."
"Uh huh," Tina had replied without listening. Although she remembered her grandmother saying that it could be cold in Wyoming during June, Tina had not paid attention. Time had flown by too fast. Tina tried her best to keep up with her family at the airport. Before she knew it, Tina found herself checking in to the hotel.
"All right, girls, it is supposed to snow this afternoon. Wear your hats and gloves and meet us in the lobby after you have freshened up," Tina's mother instructed her three girls.
It was at that moment that Tina realized she might have forgotten to pack warm clothes. Suddenly, she felt a cold breeze passing through the half-open window in the hotel room. She could see flurries of snow slowly falling from the sky. "But, it's June!" she told herself in vain.
"You can borrow my scarf," Robin, Tina's oldest sister, offered, "and my gloves."
"I knew you might forget to pack your jacket," Grandma Rose slowly uttered as she waltzed into the girls' room. "I had extra room in my suitcase just in case you actually did!" She was holding everything Tina needed to brave the snow in Yellowstone.

Greg Collins planned to study the night before the big social studies test, but things just seemed to get in the way. First, he needed to take his dog Bones out for a walk. Then, he messaged his friends on his computer. Soon, it was time for dinner. After that, he watched his favorite television show. Before he knew it, it was time for bed.
"Lights out," said his mother, peeking in on him.
"Okay, Mom," he groaned. No more studying for him!
When he arrived at school the next day, he dragged his feet into Mr. Robertson's social studies class. The big test would be first thing in the morning, and he just knew he was going to fail. Groaning, he opened the door and discovered his classmates in a tizzy.
"We've got a sub," one boy whispered, pointing to the elderly woman, with big glasses, standing grumpily behind Mr. Robertson's desk. "Subs never pay attention. Now we can all copy off each other's papers during the big test."
Greg smiled for a moment as his friends composed hasty cheat sheets and wrote notes on their desks. As soon as the bell rang, the substitute introduced herself. As she explained how the test would be administered and monitored, she walked around the room with a wet cloth, wiping off hastily-written notes from desktops. She held out her hand for other students to deposit their "cheat sheets," all the while explaining her vast teaching experience. She handed out the tests, then perched herself in the chair at her desk. With a sniff, she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and announced, "You may begin."
Greg's smile disappeared. He knew that, however low a grade he received, it would be the grade he earned and more importantly, the grade he deserved. He felt a slight sense of relief come over him, and he quickly started his test.
From Greg's thoughts and actions, the reader can infer that he
*
wishes he had studied for the test.
wants to be like his friends.
likes social studies the most.
misses his regular teacher.

The onions popped and sizzled when the chef dropped them into the hot frying pan. He had just finished chopping two bell peppers, and he threw them in, too. Once the onions and peppers were hot, he put the diced chicken breast into the pan to cook. He splashed some olive oil down into the pan and swirled it so that the oil would cover the whole pan. The chef could feel the heat rise up and warm his rosy cheeks as he swirled the pan. As the chicken cooked, the scent from the pepper and onions grew stronger and filled the kitchen. Then, the chef began to flip the pan up with his wrist to toss the ingredients into the air. A mixture of red, green, white, and yellow streaked in the air before landing back in the pan. Once the chicken was completely cooked, the chef put all the food on a plate. A waiter grabbed the plate along with three other dishes and headed out the kitchen door. He set the plates down and arranged the chicken, shredded cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and flour tortillas in front of a man and woman sitting down at a table. The woman filled a tortilla with a few pieces of chicken, some onions, and a sprinkle of cheese and rolled it all up. The man, on the other hand, stuffed his tortilla full of sour cream, guacamole, cheese, and chicken so that he could barely close the tortilla. He took an enormous bite while his wife nibbled on her fajita, and both of them smiled.
