The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a famous building in Italy. The Tower is famous because it tilts to one side. The tower began to ti

lt during its construction in the 1200’s. In the following decades, the tilt only got worse. The builders of the tower came up with different ideas to explain this. In the end, they surmised that the ground the tower sat on was too soft. And they did things to try to correct this. For example, they built upper floors with one side taller than the other. (Because of this, the tower is actually curved.) Although tilted, the tower still exists today. In fact, it is a major tourist attraction. Modern builders have done things to make sure the tower continues to lean, but does not fall down. Their efforts have been successful. Between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees. But the tower now leans at about 3.99 degrees. In 2008, construction workers performed more work on the tower. They removed 77 tons of ground to try to make the tower more level. They say the tower will now be stable for the next 200 years
Which pair of words best describes how modern builders probably feel about the Leaning Tower of Pisa today?​

A. nervous and worried
B. regretful and embarrassed
C. confused and dismayed
D. proud and confident
E. doubtful and uncertain ​

Refer to the Newsela article "Health Benefits of Reading, Writing, Are Not Just for Patients."
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The two correct answers are:

"He found that children and adults who have read stories their whole lives were more likely to correctly identify the feelings  and thoughts of others than those who do not read regularly."

"Trying to understand these characters exercises the same mental muscle that helps us understand people in the real  world."

Explanation:

First, let's take a look at the statement:

"People who read stories are better at sharing and understanding other people's feelings."

The question asks us to find two other statements that support the sentence above. To do that, <u>we can simply ask why or how we know this. Why do people who read stories understand other people's feelings better?  How do we know that this is true? Whatever statement answers these questions is providing evidence or supporting them by explaining them.</u>

<u>The two last options are the best ones, in this case. People who read stories understand others' feelings better because they exercise the same mental muscle that does that understanding when they read. They do so by trying to understand the characters. This is what the last option tells us. How do we know that this is true? Because the researcher found out that children and adults who have read stories all their lives are more likely to identify feelings correctly. This is what the second to last option tells us.</u>
