Read these stanzas from paul laurence dunbar’s poems.

"the seedling"

"the old apple tree"

little folks, be like the seedling,
always do the best you can;
every child must share life's labor
just as well as every man.

and the sun and showers will you
through the lonesome, struggling hours,
till you raise to light and beauty
virtue's fair, unfading flowers

life for us ain't all been summer,
but i guess we've had our share
of its flittin' joys an' pleasures,
an' a sprinklin' of its care.
oft the skies have smiled upon us;
then again we've seen 'em frown,
though our load was ne'er so heavy
that we longed to lay it down.
but when death does come a-callin',
this my last request shall be,—
that they'll bury me an' hallie
'neath the old apple-tree.

3one of the biggest impacts a building has on earth is the energy it uses. currently, most of the world’s energy comes from burning fossil fuels. these fuels are dirty and when they are burned they pollute the air and water. one way to burn fewer fossil fuels is to reduce the amount of electricity a building has to use. passive solar heating, which uses heat from the sun, reduces the amount of fossil fuel used to heat buildings. passive solar heating requires a south-facing wall made of glass. when sunlight shines through the wall, it is collected and used to warm the building. another way green buildings reduce their electricity use is to install other energy sources. for example, some green buildings use panels that turn energy from the sun into useable electricity. which is the best summary of paragraph 3? a) fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water. most of the world's energy comes from these fuels. b) the biggest problem of buildings is that they use fuel that is dirty for heating. they need to do something to be more energy efficient. c) panels that turn energy from the sun into electricity and passive solar heating can stop the burning of fossil fuels which pollute air and water. d) since fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water, other technologies that pollute less and produce energy have been developed like solar energy and green buildings.
