Answer
1. The story suggests that **B. looking right at the sun can be harmful.** The phrase "Of course, you shouldn't look right at the sun" implies this danger.<br /><br />2. You *can* tell from the story that Poe:<br /> * **A. went to West Point:** "his parents sent him to West Point..."<br /> * **B. had an unhappy life:** "...a very sad life..."<br /> * **C. wrote scary stories:** "...gave him ideas for his scary stories."<br /> Therefore, the answer is **D. wrote any funny stories.** The passage doesn't mention the type of stories he wrote beyond "scary."<br /><br />3. You *can* tell that tidal waves:<br /> * **A. grow larger as they move toward shore:** "...by the time the wave reaches land it is very big."<br />The passage says they move *quickly*, not slowly, and doesn't specify a height of only ten feet. It mentions they *can* be a foot tall initially, but grow. The passage doesn't mention shipwrecks. Therefore, the answer is **B. move very slowly, C. are only ten feet tall, and D. cause shipwrecks.**<br /><br />4. From the story, you can tell that **B. hunters killed most passenger pigeons.** The passage states "...most of these birds had been destroyed." The context implies hunting as the cause due to the mention of them being "easy targets."<br /><br />5. The story does *not* tell **C. when Bloch moved to the United States.** While it says she was born in China and *later* moved to the US, the specific time of the move isn't given. The other options are explicitly mentioned in the text.<br />
