Read the following paragraph. Physical activity helps improve the overall health of individuals. It assists with circulation, increases blood flow to the brain, and can raise endorphin levels. Essentially, all of these things help reduce stress, improve mood, and can help students achieve more academically. Studies have shown that providing students with a designated time for physical activity in school can lead to better concentration, reduce disruptive behaviors, and help students achieve higher test scores in reading, math, and writing. Despite all the positives that physical education may have, only 8% of elementary schools, 6.4% of middle schools, and 5.8% of high schools provide daily physical education to their students. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education recommend students engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day; however, it is more likely that students will only engage in 16–18 minutes. Which opinion could be generated using the evidence the author included? A. States should enforce stricter physical education requirements in their schools. B. Students should spend more time in the classroom to ensure higher achievement. C. Students should steer away from physical activity and spend time studying. D. Parents should require their children to exercise at home every day.

A student is writing an article for the ski club newsletter. The article explains to beginner skiers what to expect on their first ski trip. The student wants to revise the draft to improve its organization. Read the draft and complete the task that follows. When you go to a ski park, maps are provided that not only show where the ski trails are located but also indicate difficulty levels for each trail. This helps you determine how difficult it is to ski or snowboard down each of the trail. Ski resorts use a color-shape rating system to indicate the slope and difficulty levels for its trails. It is important to pay attention to these levels and plan ahead. You do not want to accidentally find yourself on a trail that is too challenging for you. Trails marked with green circles are considered the easiest. These trails are usually wide and are not considered steep. Trails marked with blue squares indicate intermediate difficulty. These slopes are considered somewhat steep and are typically the most popular. Finally, trails marked with black diamonds are considered to be the steepest and most difficult. Choose the sentence that would be the best conclusion for the article. A. As you navigate your way around the ski resort, refer to your map often to determine which trails are best for you. B. I recommend that you beginner skiers stay far away from those black–diamond trails. C. Skiing is a fun and popular sport that can be enjoyed at various ski resorts nationwide. D. The color-shape rating system will be used by ski resorts for many years to come because it is highly useful.
