Over the past ten years more than two dozen athletes have died from the medical condition known as heatstroke. Heatstroke occurs

when the body's internal temperature becomes so
elevated that its cooling system begins shutting down. Who is most at risk? Surprisingly, it is younger athletes. They often either do not recognize or ignore the warning signs until it's too
late. To make matters worse, children's bodies are much less efficient than adults at cooling themselves. A promising new product hopes to end the all too common heatstroke trend. It is
called a thermometer pill
2 While it doesn't look much different from the average vitamin capsule, the work it does inside the body is truly amazing. Once ingested these capsules send an internal body
temperature reading to a portable device that is not much bigger than an iPhone. A coach or professional trainer monitors the device during practices or events held when temperatures
and heat indexes are particularly high. If an athlete's body temperature reaches a dangerous level, the monitor immediately transmits an alert. The player is then rushed indoors and
placed in an ice bath to rapidly decrease his or her body temperature. This is important, since internal organs can begin shutting down at 105 degrees Fahrenheit
5 While these tiny lifesavers have proven to be effective, they are quite expensive. On average the cost is $50.00 per pill. However, many parents of young athletes say that it is a small
price to pay for the piece of mind it gives them on a hot, sultry day.
1) Which of these BEST describes the author's view about thermometer pills?
A) The author thinks thermometer pills are effective but too expensive.
B) The author thinks thermometer pills need more testing to be considered safe.
The author thinks thermometer pills are a potentially promising answer to heatstroke.
D) The author thinks thermometer pills are the only way to protect young athletes from heatstroke.

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Because the author stated "It is

called a thermometer pill. While it doesn't look much different from the average vitamin capsule, the work it does inside the body is truly amazing."

Showing that he loves the idea of the thermometer pill but, later in the text, it states "While these tiny lifesavers have proven to be effective, they are quite expensive. On average the cost is $50.00 per pill."

This shows that he agrees that the pills are effective but he did notice they are sold at a costly price and are "too expensive."

This is why the answer is A.

Review the information for a website that a student intends to include on a works cited page. Web Address: www.arborday2014.org
Aleonysh [2.5K]

the name of the website

When creating an entry for a Works Cited page, the first piece of information should be the author's name. However, when the author is not available, you skip that information. Do not leave a placeholder. The next piece of information is the title of the source. Since this is a website, you'd need the title of the website: A Day for Trees.

The entire entry would be: A Day for Trees, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 10 Jan. 2014. <web address>. Accessed 18 April 2014.
