Question 7 Read the passage below carefully and then answer the question. Discovery Educationtm Streaming © 2010 Believing that

King Laius had been slain by unknown robbers, and grateful to Oedipus for ridding them of the Sphinx, the Thebans rewarded Oedipus by making him their king and giving him Queen Jocasta as his wife. For many years the couple lived in happiness, not knowing that they were really mother and son. A statement about the main idea of this passage could read, A “Thanking Oedipus for ridding them of the Sphinx, the Thebans made him king.” B “Oedipus married his own mother, but he was unaware of the fact for years.” C ”The Thebans were so grateful that they chose to make Oedipus their king.” D. “Queen Jocasta was the wife of Oedipus the king, and they ruled for a long time.” Question 8 Read the passage below carefully and then answer the question. Discovery Educationtm Streaming © 2010 (Shaquille) O'Neal turned professional in the spring of 1992 and was chosen first in the NBA draft by Florida's Orlando Magic, who signed him to a seven-year contract valued at $40 million. He was named rookie of the year for the 1992–93 season, and his size, strength, quickness, and determination evoked memories of the young Wilt Chamberlain. On the down side, O'Neal, like Chamberlain, was an erratic free-throw shooter, and opposing teams soon learned to strategically foul him at crucial moments in the game. A statement about the main idea of this passage could read, A “O’Neal reminded others of Wilt Chamberlain, in good ways and bad.” B “O’Neal became the rookie of the year when he joined the NBA in 1992.” C ”O’Neal had difficulty shooting free throws, and this caused frustration.” D “O’Neal’s first basketball team in 1992 was the Orlando Magic in Florida.” Question 9 Read the passage below carefully and then answer the question. Discovery Educationtm Streaming © 2010 Species become extinct or endangered for a number of reasons, but the primary cause is the destruction of habitat. Drainage of wetlands, conversion of shrub lands to grazing lands, cutting and clearing of forests (especially in the Tropics, where destruction of the rain forests has continued at an alarming rate), urbanization and suburbanization, and highway and dam construction have seriously reduced available habitats. As the various habitats become fragmented into "islands," the remaining animal populations crowd into smaller areas, causing further habitat destruction. Species in these small islands lose contact with other populations of their own kind, thereby reducing their genetic variation and making them less adaptable to environmental change. These small populations are highly vulnerable to extinction; for some species, the fragmented habitats become too small to support a viable population. A statement about the main idea of this passage could read, A “Extinction is one of the most serious problems in the world today.” B. “Some animals crowd into smaller areas when their homes change.” C. “Destruction of habitat is a known primary cause of extinction.” D “Some species in small islands become less adaptable to changes.” Question 10 Read the passage below carefully and then choose the correct pattern of organization. Discovery Educationtm Streaming © 2010 Laius was warned by an oracle that he would be killed by his own son. Determined to avert his fate, he bound together the feet of his newborn child and left him to die on a lonely mountain. This is an example of A. cause/effect organization. B. spatial organization. C. classification organization. D. compare/contrast organization.

Answer:

A “Thanking Oedipus for ridding them of the Sphinx, the Thebans made him king.”

D “O’Neal’s first basketball team in 1992 was the Orlando Magic in Florida.”

C. “Destruction of habitat is a known primary cause of extinction.”

A. cause/effect organization

Explanation:

The main purpose of the first passage is to explain the reasons why Oedipus ended up in the situation of having to marry Jocasta. The text explains that Oedipus was made king as a reward for ridding the Thebans of the Sphinx.

In this passage, the main idea that the reader should get is that which explains the beginning of O'Neal in basketball. Therefore, the statement that best explains this is that O'Neal's first team was the Orlando Magic in Florida.

The fact that destruction of habitat is a known primary cause of extinction is the main idea of this text. In this text, the author wants us to understand how it is that extinction occurs in animals with reduced habitats. He does this through the use of scientific explanations and hypothetical situations.

This is an example of a cause/effect organization, as the author presents both the origin of the conflict (the fact that Laius knew he would be killed by his own son) and the effect that this had on the story (the fact that Laius decided to leave his son to die).
