1. Derek was doing his homework on his computer one night when he saw an ad banner for a free Gamebox 9000. He clicked on the ad

with great interest and was taken to a webpage with details about the offer. It seemed simple enough. All he had to do was post some content to his social networking pages and complete a few offers. Derek didn't really approve of the content that he was required to share, but he really wanted the new Gamebox, so he shared the required links with all of his friends and family. Then Derek began completing the offers. The offers were organized into three tiers. According to the website, he had to complete three offers in each tier and then he would get his Gamebox for free. So Derek started completing the offers in the first tier, which required him to create accounts on a bunch of websites that he had no interest in joining. He completed the first tier in a couple of hours and he was really getting excited about getting a free Gamebox 9000. The second tier required Derek to become a member at more websites and to get three of his friends to sign up to the program. Signing up to the websites was pretty easy (though time consuming), but getting his friends to participate in the program was much harder. Most of them warned Derek that he was falling for a scam, but Derek finally found three freshman who agreed to participate. Derek was pumped. Unfortunately, the third tier required him to sign up for satellite television service, change his phone service provider, and get approved for several credit cards. Derek finally did what he should have done from the beginning and walked away from these offers. What is the theme of the story? __________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ What happens in the story that leads you to believe this? ______________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________

The theme of the story is to not trust everything that's out there. In the beginning of the story, Derek believed that he was going to be able to get a Gamebox 9000 for free by doing all of these requirements. By the third tier, that is when he realized that it was all a scam. This story shows readers that not everything should be trusted.

A. Uses the vocab word incorrectly. ‘Exploit’ means to take advantage of which does not make sense in the context of the sentence (the correct word for that sentence is probably ‘explosion’).

B. Is correct because ‘esteem’ means to hold respect for.
