Use the following passage to answer question 5. Two Travelers and a Big Tree Two men were traveling along a dusty road. They're traveling to attend the wedding feast. This summer sun was shining hot that day, so the two men decided to find a shady tree and rest. There weren't many shady trees in sight. They found an old large tree with long branches and many leaves. The two men sat down and rested. One man commented that the tree was very very ugly, old and useless as it bore no fruit. Upon hearing this the tree became angry. The tree said in a loud voice: “You are a useless man! How ungrateful of you, to use my shade and make such mean remarks!” The two men were very frightened when they heard the tree talk and ran away. 5. What type of writing is this? a. Narrative b. Persuasive c. Technical d. Expository Use the following passage to answer question 6. Adopting a Pet from an Animal Shelter Adopting a pet from an animal shelter is a great idea. These animals need homes to stay in as they have been rescued from unsafe environments. If the animals are not adopted they may have to stay in cages or may even be put to sleep. Adopting a pet can be a very positive experience in your life. It can give you a new friend and teach your children responsibility. It is better to adopt a pet from a shelter than to purchase one from the pet store or an animal farm because the pets at the shelter need you more. If you're looking for a new pet, make the best choice and choose a pet from an animal shelter. 6. What type of writing is this? a. Narrative b. Persuasive c. Technical d. Expository Use the following passage to answer questions 7-10. When one hears the term “reality” applied to a television show, one might expect that the events portrayed occurred naturally or, at the least, were not scripted, but this is not always the case. Many reality shows occur in unreal environments, like rented mansions occupied by film crews. Such living environments do not reflect what most people understand to be “reality.” Worse, there have been accusations that events not captured on film were later re- staged by producers. Worse still, some involved in the production of “reality” television claim that the participants were urged to act out story lines premeditated by producers. With such accusations floating around, it’s no wonder many people take reality TV to be about as real as the sitcom.
