Foley artists use props to create sound effects for movies. Their principal job is to immerse viewers in what they see by including the dimension of sound to add to the experience. Foley artists rarely capture sounds during live taping that are included in the edited version you view. But, just how is this accomplished? How can the tiptoes of a child or the boom of thunder be recreated? A Foley artist sees the opportunity to use an everyday object to capture the sound: swishing a feather duster across a sheet of paper brings thoughts of a ballerina dancing across center stage, and waving a large piece of heavy aluminum evokes thoughts of a thunderstorm!

The hills and canyons of California provide all three of a wildfire’s needs in abundance. Dry brush and small shrubs and trees encircle the towns. Santa Ana winds blow steadily. The winds pick up twigs or small embers and carry them miles away. Dry lightning is a common occurrence, too, and tourists’ campfires, broken electric lines, or even dropped cigarettes can spark a fire.

In 2–3 sentences, identify two traits of narrative nonfiction and explain how they differ from other types of nonfiction
Two traits of narrative nonfiction are the use of storytelling techniques and a focus on personal experiences and emotions. This type of nonfiction differs from other types, such as expository or argumentative nonfiction, because it seeks to engage readers through a narrative structure and often includes elements of character development and plot. Additionally, narrative nonfiction places a greater emphasis on storytelling and the vivid portrayal of events, rather than relying solely on facts and information.
Use the paragraph to answer the question.
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 product, 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.
In 1–2 sentences, identify and explain the evidence that the author uses to support the idea that taking iodine out of table salt might cause harm.

The evidence that the author uses to support the idea that taking iodine out of table salt might cause harm is that the modern American diet includes many processed foods that contain iodine, and as a result, many salt manufacturers have stopped adding iodine to their product. This suggests that people who still rely on table salt as a source of iodine may now have a diet lacking in this micronutrient, potentially leading to an increase in disease.

Many fire-prone California towns don’t plan for evacuations
Counterintuitive as it may sound, Paradise has some of the strongest evacuation planning in California. In fact, a USA TODAY Network-California survey of communities at high risk from wildfires found only 22% (including Paradise) have a robust, publicly available evacuation plan.
The scale of disaster in the Camp Fire was unprecedented, but the scene of people fleeing wildfires was familiar, repeated numerous times over the past three years up and down California from Redding and Paradise to Santa Rosa, Ventura, and Malibu.
In many of those communities, motorists became stuck in traffic as officials tried to evacuate thousands onto a few roads leading away from the flames.
NO REQUIREMENT TO PLAN
The 85 deaths and nearly 19,000 buildings destroyed in Paradise’s Camp Fire made it the deadliest and most destructive blaze in California history. Eight of those who perished were found in their vehicles, with two others found outside their vehicles.
In some spots, burned-out and abandoned vehicles lined roads leading out of town.
Should cities be required to have detailed evacuation plans? In 3–5 sentences, answer the question and provide specific textual evidence to support your analysis.
In my opinion, cities should be required to have detailed evacuation plans. The passage states that only 22% of high-risk communities in California have a robust, publicly available evacuation plan. This lack of planning can lead to chaotic and dangerous situations, as seen in the Camp Fire and other wildfires. The passage also mentions that in some communities, motorists became stuck in traffic as they tried to evacuate, and burned-out and abandoned vehicles lined the roads. These examples highlight the importance of having a well-thought-out evacuation plan in place to ensure the safety of residents during emergencies.

Why Is the News Sometimes Controversial?
Reporters gather facts and write about them—so why do some people say the news is unreliable? They are worried that news stories might be biased.
Bias is an unfair representation of something or someone. It can happen when only one side of a story is presented, when only certain facts are shared, or when news organizations choose which stories they want to publish. Readers sometimes worry that news organizations, intentionally or accidentally, publish biased stories.
News organizations try to avoid bias as much as they can. They hire trained reporters who know how to ask good questions about all sides of a story. They also employ many different editors to double-check all of the facts cited in the articles.
Readers of the news can take their own steps to avoid possible bias in the news they read. They can read news from multiple sources, or they can look up facts on their own to make sure the news matches other websites and records. It is impossible to avoid bias completely, but news writers and news readers can still do a lot to make sure the information they share and read is accurate.
In 3–5 sentences, identify and explain an inference you made about news media based on the passage. Support your answer with text evidence from the passage.
Based on the passage, an inference that can be made about news media is that bias can be a concern and that news organizations strive to minimize it. The passage states that readers worry about biased stories and that bias can occur when only one side of a story is presented or when certain facts are selectively shared. However, news organizations try to avoid bias by hiring trained reporters who ask good questions and employing multiple editors to fact-check the articles. This suggests that news organizations recognize the importance of presenting balanced and accurate information to their readers.

The answer 0.12 represents the portion of the how-to books that are about either carpentry or electronics. The equation multiplies the proportion of how-to books (0.3) with the proportion of books on electronics (0.4), resulting in 0.12. This indicates that 12% of the how-to books in the library are focused on either carpentry or electronics.

Sara discarded 110 of the apples she picked as defective. Of the apples remaining, 300 were made into cider. The rest were sold as fresh fruit. What fraction of the total apples picked were sold as fresh fruit?
4/5
3/10
3/5
Or
not enough information.
To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to determine the number of apples that were sold as fresh fruit.
First, let's calculate the number of apples remaining after discarding 110 defective ones:
Total apples remaining = Total apples picked - Discarded apples
Total apples remaining = Total apples picked - 110
Next, we calculate the number of apples sold as fresh fruit:
Apples sold as fresh fruit = Total apples remaining - Apples made into cider
Apples sold as fresh fruit = Total apples remaining - 300
Since the exact number of total apples picked and the number of apples remaining after discarding are not provided, we do not have enough information to determine the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit. Therefore, the correct answer is "not enough information."
The town of Oak Manor measures 3.8 miles by 4.2 miles. Solve for the total area.
16 mi2
15.96 mi
8 mi2
15.96 mi2
To solve for the total area of Oak Manor, we multiply the length and width of the town:
Total area = Length x Width
Total area = 3.8 miles x 4.2 miles
Total area = 15.96 square miles
Therefore, the correct answer is "15.96 mi2."
A diver searches for a sunken treasure that is 97.2
feet below the surface. What is the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down? (1 point)
Fractions
−64.8 ft
−48.5 ft
−145.8 ft.
−32.4 ft.
To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to calculate 2/3 of the depth (97.2 feet):
2/3 * 97.2 = 64.8 feet
Since the diver is 2/3 of the way down, we subtract 64.8 feet from the surface, which will result in a negative value indicating below the surface.
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is -64.8 ft.
The correct answer is "-64.8 ft."
A basketball player is 623 feet tall. His infant son is 14 as tall. How tall is his son?
2 2/12 ft.
2 2/3 ft.
1 2/3 ft.
1 1/2 ft.
To find the height of the basketball player's son, we need to calculate 1/4 of the player's height:
1/4 * 623 = 155.75 feet
Therefore, his son is 155.75 feet tall, or in mixed number form, approximately 1 2/3 feet.
The correct answer is "1 2/3 ft."
