Read the passage.People should consider the impact of drones before buying (and flying) one. Think about where you will fly your drone. There’s a difference between flying in close, tight civilization and the wide-open, vast wilderness. Also, some communities have laws regulating drone use. For example, Florida law requires recreational drones to be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Safety should always be of the utmost concern. Flying away from power lines and keeping a respectable distance from people and wildlife will ensure that no one (or no animal) is harmed should the drone operator mistakenly send it in the wrong direction. Drones of the twenty-first century are the Red Ryders of the 1940s. As this device becomes more popular and common, people should take care to be responsible drone operators.

Read the passage.Henley Prep High School should remove its logo from the city basketball stadium. When Henley Prep High School donated $100,000 toward the construction of the public venue, the city agreed that the school’s basketball games could be held there. What the city did not agree to, however, was the placement of the school’s logo on the basketball court’s floor.
