Question 9
Use the paragraph to answer the question below.
People fear wolves. While some of their fear is sensible, wolves actually have more to fear from people than people do from wolves. Although wolves are strong and fierce, wolf attacks on humans are very rare. In nearly all cases, they occur only when people provoke or corner wolves. People, on the other hand, have regularly baited and trapped wolves from the earliest of times. For various reasons, farmers, ranchers, and trappers in North America have all sought to reduce the wolf population. By 1950, there were almost no wolves left in the United States. Finally, in 1974, Congress granted gray wolves a protected status.

Question 11
Use the paragraph to answer the question below.
Iodine is an important micronutrient, a vitamin or mineral that is necessary for good health. It helps the body to produce hormones, helps babies develop in the womb, and is important to many other body processes. In 1924, iodine was added to salt to make up for a lack of public access to dairy foods and ocean fish, which are natural sources of iodine. The modern American diet, however, includes many processed foods that contain iodine. As a result, many salt manufacturers have stopped adding iodine to their products, a change that did not get much attention in the media. Some nutrition experts are concerned that people who still rely on table salt as a source of iodine will have an increase in disease caused by a diet lacking in the micronutrient. Only time will tell, as America moves into a new era where table salt is no longer a guaranteed source of iodine.
11. Identify TWO pieces of evidence the author uses to support the idea that taking iodine out of table salt might cause harm.

Question 12
Use the paragraph to answer the following two questions below.
Many jobs that we know today will someday be taken over by robotics. For example, you may have seen the self-checkout lanes at grocery stores. These machines do the jobs that people used to do, making many human cashiers obsolete. Even though they have some flaws, these machines have benefits as well. They can work without needing a paycheck, and they never get tired. Robots may break once in a while, but unlike humans, they never complain. Some people are worried about losing their jobs, but others are excited about all of the possibilities new technology might bring.
