Read and compare what two students have to say about baseball.Passage 1"I hope you can come watch me play this season. My team is the Grove Gators, and we are undefeated. Yay! I play shortstop, and it is hard work. Coach has taught me a few tricks, and I have practiced nonstop. Let's hang out at the ballfield."Passage 2"Cal Ripken is one of baseball's most famous shortstops. He played for the Baltimore Orioles and won the World Series in 1983. He played the most consecutive baseball games in history."
Answer
A
Both passages are written to explain the rules of baseball.
B
Both passages are written in a casual, informal tone.
C
Both passages mention the shortstop position in baseball.
D
Both passages mention a famous baseball player.
Explanation
Both passages mention the shortstop position. In Passage 1, the student says, “I play shortstop,” while Passage 2 describes Cal Ripken as a famous shortstop. The passages do not explain baseball’s rules, and only Passage 2 mentions a famous player, so those choices do not fit both passages.
