(I believe you are asked to complete the passage, and find the missing words).
Fortunately, in that moment of “desperate extremity,” the Powhatans brought food and rescued the starving strangers. A year later, several hundred more settlers arrived, and again they quickly ran out of provisions. They were forced to eat “dogs, cats, rats, and mice,” even “CORPSES” dug from graves. “Some have licked up the blood which hathfallen from their weak fellows,” a survivor reported. “One member of our colony murdered his wife, ripped the child out of her womb and threw it into the river, and after chopped the mother in pieces and salted her for his food, the same not being discovered before he had eaten part thereof.” “So great was our famine,” John Smith stated, “that a savage we slew and buried, the poorer sort took him up again and ate him; and so did diverse one another boiled and stewed with roots and herbs.”

Answer:
“Jundi Shapur was built in what is now Iran.”
“Greek scholars moved to Jundi Shapur.”
“The school created the very first teaching hospital in the world.”
Explanation:
The main idea of this passage is that Jundi Shapur was one of the most important institutions of its time, and a place where the world's knowledge was collected and expanded upon. The details that support this idea are the fact that Jundi Shapur was built in Iran (located at the intersection of various great civilizations), that Greek scholars moved there (carrying their knowledge with them) and that the school created the first teaching hospital in the world.
Answer:Congress enacted the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) in 1977 to encourage banks and thrift institutions to “serve the convenience and needs of the communities in which they are chartered to do business,” including low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities, and to do so in a manner “consistent with the safe and sound operation of such institutions.” The CRA requires each federal bank regulator, including the Federal Reserve, to evaluate the extent to which banks address the credit needs of LMI neighborhoods in their geographic markets. While research generally indicates the CRA has increased lending to LMI communities, the Act has been a source of debate since its passage.
