Identical abilities doesn't equate to equality. 


In the story, everybody in the dystopian society was given impairments to 'level the playing field' so to speak. No one person was smarter or faster or different from anybody else. In doing this, it's supposed to be supporting the idea of a more 'fair' society; however, the supposed 'equality' that resulted from this was ultimately the impairment of the broader spectrum of society.

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>

Read this excerpt from a passage.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The main idea is to present the feelings the person had before amazon became what it is today. I had my own misgivings about ordering on line until I realized that I really had no choice. I live in a small community of about 800 people. There is a Walmart in the next town over (which has a population of 5000), but I'm not fond of what they did to small businesses.

So the choice was shop at a place I don't like or order through the mail. I didn't really make up my mind until about 2 years ago. Then it was fine.

The author of what you quoted had many of the same feelings. It's a gamble putting money where the system can be broken into and that is what this is all about --  fear of trying something you don't trust.

The answer is B, I think
