Perhaps the most important factor in reducing the number of traumatic brain injuries, however, lies not with the players, the coaches, or the administrators, but with the media and fans. Sports media producers have become accustomed to showcasing the most aggressive tackles and the most intense plays. NFL broadcasts often replay especially violent collisions, while the commentators marvel at the physical prowess of the players involved. Some sports programs even feature weekly countdowns of the hardest hits. When the media exalts such hazardous behavior, professionals are rewarded for injuring each other on the field, and amateurs become more likely to try to imitate their favorite NFL athletes. Announcers, commentators, television producers, and sportswriters should engage in a collective effort to cease glorifying brutal plays. In turn, fans should stop expecting their favorite players to put their lives on the line for the purposes of entertainment. Players must stop being encouraged to trade their careers, health, happiness, and their lives for the sake of a game. The author's TONE is... A) apologetic B) depressed C) confused D) solemn

Elizabeth knew well that this day had been nearly one hundred years in the making and that it had not come without a cost. The passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution granting women the right to vote was the culmination of years of struggle. Elizabeth’s mother had taught her about Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, suffragists whose life work had been devoted to gaining rights for women. When those two pioneers had died, the mantle was passed on to Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, who placed their very lives at risk on behalf of other women. IN THIS SELECTION, THE WORD "CULMINATION" MEANS WHICH OF THESE FOUR CHOICES: (A) conclusion or result, (B) beginning or cause, (C) unexpected consequence, or (D) unspoken purpose
What is A
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity. But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Neg ro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land.
