Supporting Biliteracy (adapted from ixl.com practice)
There are many good reasons to learn a second language. A second language can improve your understanding of your native language, open the door to new job opportunities, and help you learn about other cultures. Yet American students are less likely than European students to study foreign languages in school. To address this gap, several states have begun doing more to encourage biliteracy—the ability to read and write in two languages. California, New York, and Illinois are among the states that have passed laws establishing a state "Seal of Biliteracy." A Seal of Biliteracy shows that a student has achieved proficiency in a second language. Supporters of the seals say that they honor the importance of second-language learning. The seals also provide colleges and future employers with evidence of students' abilities.
a. American students have not been learning more than one language as often as European students, which has led to some states rewarding American students who learn more than one language.
b. American students are doing better at learning second languages than European students because they are being rewarded for their efforts.
c. More must be done to help American students learn multiple languages.

Read the following text from a memoir. This excerpt is about Anne Morrow Lindbergh's 1931 flight to China.
As I walked out of the building two women ran up to me. "Oh, Mrs. Lindbergh," said one, "the women of America are so anxious to know about your clothes." "And I," said the other, "want to write a little article about your housekeeping in the ship. Where do you put the lunch boxes?" I felt depressed, as I generally do when women reporters ask me conventionally feminine questions. I feel as they must feel when they are given those questions to ask. I feel slightly insulted. Over in the corner my husband is being asked vital masculine questions, clean-cut steely technicalities or broad abstractions. But I am asked about clothes and lunch boxes.
From Anne Morrow Lindbergh, North to the Orient. Copyright 1935 by Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Adapted from IXL.com practice question.
