Read the student-writing samples and answer the question below. student 1: "it was big and not too far off the ground. it looked like a circle of lights just hanging there. we couldn't hear anything except a quiet motor. it didn't move at all."

student 2: "we all stared, trying to get our minds around the glittering, pulsing circle hovering over the field. the hubble telescope has captured many amazing images from outer space. the field was mostly wild grass, with the occasional tree here and there. it was wintertime and i remember feeling cold. the object seemed to be perfectly still and eerily quiet."

student 3: "there was a ufo hovering right there over the field. hayley had her hair braided. the night was chilly so when we all got out of the car to take a closer look we felt cold. we had grabbed some burgers earlier. we were all really close friends."

student 4: "hayley was the first one out of the car. we all followed, staring open-mouthed at the hovering circle of lights above the grassy field. the only sound was a quiet humming like an air-conditioner. i couldn't believe what i was seeing. a ufo. wow. i shivered, either from the cool night air or the incredible sight before me, or both." how can student 2's paragraph be condensed?

a. add dialogue. b. omit the second sentence. c. eliminate "glittering, pulsing." d. add descriptive details.

What caused the american civil war? there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense. one of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. this tax was called a tariff. southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most northern people. taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. an awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the north. the situation grew worse after several “panics,” including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment. which sentence from the selection states a major detail that supports the main idea? a there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. b taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. c the situation grew worse after several "panics," including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. d this tax was called a tariff. e between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense.
