Lives of Commitment: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
Question 5 • CA-Expository Reading and Writing B
Read this paragraph.Rico opened his laptop and began his Internet search. He recalled with frustration the "B–” he had earned on his last research paper. His teacher told him that the online encyclopedia he had quoted was "not sufficient research.” Luckily, his librarian had provided a list of reliable research websites for this assignment. Rico reached into his backpack and pulled out his social studies notebook. The assignment sheet read "Departments of the US Government,” and a variety of websites ending in ".gov” were listed on the back.
Answer
A
I think Rico will read an online encyclopedia because he has used that source in the past.
B
I think Rico will consult a number of websites because his librarian provided a list.
C
I think Rico will earn a “B–” because his teacher often gives students that grade.
D
I think Rico will be unable to find information on the Internet because his topic is challenging.
Explanation
Rico’s librarian gave him a list of reliable research websites, and the assignment sheet includes government websites ending in “.gov.” This supports the prediction that he will consult several websites; the paragraph does not suggest he will rely on an online encyclopedia or be unable to find information.
