The armadillo is a strange animal. It looks strange, and it acts strange. And in a strange way, it has become very important in the battle against one of mankind’s strangest and most terrible diseases. The armadillo was given its name by the early Spanish explorers in Central America. Since it is native only to the Americas, the Spanish had never seen one before. They must have stared at the first one in great surprise. El armadillo they called it, meaning “the little armored one.” And it does look somewhat like a soldier’s helmet with feet. Or maybe an iron football. But that’s only the body. At one end, there is a long, round, pointed tail. At the other end is a head almost at long and as pointed as the tail.

Which idea from the paragraph above expresses an opinion?

A)  The armadillo was given its name by the early Spanish explorers in Central America. 

B)  El armadillo means “little armored one” in Spanish.

C)  The armadillo is a strange animal.

C)  The armadillo is a strange animal.

In 2012, a group of scientists were exploring a rainforest in South America when, all of the sudden, they heard a familiar noise. It was the sound of frogs! When they shined their flashlights in the direction of the noise and found a tiny frog, the frog had large eyes and bright-green colored skin. However, it had one very interesting feature. The skin on its belly was so clear that the scientists could see its organs! Because it had transparent skin, the scientists knew it was a type of glass frog. They had never observed a frog like this in their previous research. “It was amazing,” said Charles Austin, one of the researchers who discovered the frog. “We had a feeling this was a species new to science.”

Alzheimer’s Disease is an illness that people receive as they age. It leads to individuals losing memories they once possessed. The Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referral Center (ADEAR) says that with Alzheimer's, the forgetting is about things that are part of everyday life. You might not notice the symptoms of AD at first. The early symptoms usually develop slowly. Only later, when a person starts saying and doing things that seem very different from before, are the symptoms noticeable. A person can forget how to get dressed, or they might not remember how to get home from the grocery store that is visited once a week. Sadly, a person may not recognize loved ones at all. This is why Alzheimer's has also been called the “mind-robbing” disease.

Why did the author include the information in the paragraph above?

A) To explain how so many people get the disease

B) To educate the reader about Alzheimer’s Disease and it’s symptoms. 

C) To tell the reader about the ADEAR organization and the work they are doing.

Anar Gul used to live in a four-bedroom house. Now he and his nine family members share a single tent. Mattresses, blankets, clothes, and a broken tape player are all that they have left. “This is everything,” Gul says. He was one of more than 17 million people impacted by the massive flooding that hit Houston in 2017. The floods were the worst in the southern Asian nation’s history. The powerful currents flowed across about one-fifth of the country and killed more than 1,600 people. International aid workers and the U.S. military are trying to help. They are delivering food, clean water, and other supplies.
