Question 12 • Common Core ELA 7 A-IC

Read the paragraph.Scientific nonfiction gives facts and details about the scientific world. It might be about electricity, matter, or different ecosystems. In the same way, historical nonfiction gives facts and details about historical events. It might be about a world conflict or a different time period. If you are interested in learning about interesting science facts and ideas, scientific nonfiction is a good choice. Otherwise, if you enjoy learning facts and ideas about the past, historical nonfiction might be for you. _____________________________________.

Answer
A
Scientific and historical nonfiction are genres that provide information.
B
Remember, scientific nonfiction reports on scientific topics.
C
Both nonfiction genres are excellent sources of useful knowledge.
D
Historical nonfiction, on the other hand, reports on topics in history.

Explanation

The paragraph explains that scientific nonfiction teaches readers about science and historical nonfiction teaches readers about the past. A concluding sentence should bring both ideas together, so “Both nonfiction genres are excellent sources of useful knowledge” best fits. The other choices repeat information about just one genre or provide a less complete summary.
