read the excerpt from a letter about the minidoka relocation center. it was written by japanese american kenji okuda, who was relocated during world war ii. which two statements represent the central idea of the passage?

the camp is still very far from completed. they had to interrupt movement for a week because of lack of housing facilities—in fact the last group of 500 which left had to sleep in mess halls, laundry rooms, and any available bed space. the w. r.a. officials were trying hard enough to have the army stop the wholesale movement—but the army waited until they were absolutely certain that the camp over there could hold no more. there are about 4,500 there now—and no running hot water as of the latest reports. the sewage and lavatory facilities are still uncompleted—residents are using outhouses until all construction is completed. the dust out there in the midst of the minidoka desert, the sagebrush and bugs, must be terrific. most of the people there suffer from sore throats, and dust storms are terrific—can’t see more than a couple of feet ahead. many of the residents get nosebleeds—the fine sand seems to wreak havoc with almost everything. it is entirely possible that if we are there long enough and get water on the soil, we will be able to make a veritable “garden of eden.” the first two years will be hard—how many will be able to live through it and come through triumphant?

housing facilities at minidoka were inadequate because the camp was overcrowded.
the us army and the war relocation authority disagreed over the number of evacuees to be moved into the camp.
people in the minidoka relocation center did not even have a place to sleep.
living conditions in the minidoka relocation camp were poor and unhealthy.
it was possible to convert the arid minidoka desert into a fertile farmland.

Read the excerpt from the common sense of bicycling: bicycling for ladies. the bicycle is capable of such high speed that there is a strong temptation to ride so fast as to cause over exertion or excessive perspiration. on the other hand some people ride too slow, causing a zigzag and uncertain movement. while exercising reasonable caution, be a fearless rider. when you come to a steep hill, if the road is clear, let it go as fast as it will. if you rid yourself of that ghost of fear, coasting is one of the greatest delights of cycling. which is the best paraphrase of the text?

Excerpt from 100% - the story of a patriot upton sinclair 10 so peter walked along, with his belt drawn tight, and his restless blue eyes wandering here and there, looking for a place to get a meal. there were jobs to be had, but they were hard jobs, and peter wanted an easy one. there are people in this world who live by their muscles, and others who live by their wits; peter belonged to the latter class; and had missed many a meal rather than descend in the social scale. 11 peter looked into the faces of everyone he passed, searching for a possible opening. some returned his glance, but never for more than a second, for they saw an insignificant looking man, undersized, undernourished, and with one shoulder higher than the other, a weak chin and mouth, crooked teeth, and a brown moustache too feeble to hold itself up at the corners. peters' straw hat had many straws missing, his second-hand brown suit was become third-hand, and his shoes were turning over at the sides. in a city where everybody was "hustling," everybody, as they phrased it, "on the make," why should anyone take a second glance at peter gudge? why should anyone care about the restless soul hidden inside him, or dream that peter was, in his own obscure way, a sort of genius? no one did care; no one did dream. 12 it was about two o'clock of an afternoon in july, and the sun beat down upon the streets of american city. there were crowds upon the streets, and peter noticed that everywhere were flags and bunting. once or twice he heard the strains of distant music, and wondered what was "up." peter had not been reading the newspapers; all his attention bad been taken up by the quarrels of the smithers faction and the lunk faction in the first apostolic church, otherwise known as the holy rollers, and great events that had been happening in the world outside were of no concern to him. peter knew vaguely that on the other side of the world half a dozen mighty nations were locked together in a grip of death; the whole earth was shaken with their struggles, and peter had felt a bit of the trembling now and then. but peter did not know that his own country had anything to do with this european quarrel, and did not know that certain great interests throughout the country had set themselves to rouse the public to action. based on the author's characterization of peter in paragraphs 10, 11, and 12, which word best describes him? a) industrious b) loyal c) patriotic d) poor
