Wes writes on page 54 that, “later in life, I learned that the way many governors projected the numbers of beds they’d need for

prison facilities was by examine the reading scores of third graders. “Why do you think governors link prison facilities with third grade reading scores? Do you agree or disagree with this practice? Why?

It's widely believed that this is something of an urban myth. According to this myth, prison governors supposedly use third-grade reading scores in local schools to plan how many beds they will need to provide in their facilities. The idea is that those who fall into a life of crime never progress in their reading abilities beyond third grade.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Which is the best paraphrase of the passage?

It's always cloudy where the Men of Winter live.

It's always misty where the Men of Winter live.

It's always dark where the Men of Winter live.

It's always sunny where the Men of Winter live.

Answer:

The best paraphrase of the passage is:

C. It's always dark where the Men of Winter live.

Explanation:

This question can be quite tricky, and here is why: the words "mist" and "cloud" are explicitly written in the passage. Of course, our first impulse is to imagine a cloudy or misty place and to choose either option A or option B, or even both. However,<u> we need to keep on reading to fully understand the passage. Notice the speaker says, "Never the flaming eye of Helios lights on those men..." Helios is nothing more than the personification of the sun in Greek mythology. When he says its flaming eye never lights, he basically means his light never shines on those Men of Winter. No light means it is dark. It may be dark due to the excessive mist and clouds, but it is dark nonetheless because the light can't shine through. That is why letter C seems to be the best option.</u>

Natalija [7]

Answer:

D. Racial prejudice is disgraceful and will dissolve in favor of equality.

Explanation:

The poem "I, Too" has been written by the poet Langston Hughes. The poem presents the picture of an African American and his experience of racism. The racial prejudice has been displayed through the imagery of white people denying the rights of the Blacks of their basic rights. The poet here expresses his patriotic feelings to be same as that of a White. The poet assures that some day in the future, every citizen would acknowledge the Blacks to be equally important.
