Pretest: Unit 3
1 Point
Read the following passages:
My eyes scanned the plains where I had hunted bison, the
creek where I had gotten water. They could no more take
this land from me than I could give it freely. It was never
mine to give, and I had never thought that I owned it. I used
it in accordance with what the gods had given me. And
now I was being forced to leave.
Understanding of property rights among American Indians
differed greatly from that of European settlers. While some
land deals did involve the exchange of money or goods
(rather than just taking land by force), misunderstandings
about ownership often led to conflict.
Which of these best describes how the historical description enhances a
reader's understanding of the personal narrative?

Which is a higher ratio, 6: 9 or 3: 7

1) earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) the plates are called tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) they can move because earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) plates may also collide. (8) when that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) for example, the collision of the plate carrying the indian subcontinent created the himalayan mountains when it collided with the asian plate. which statement about this paragraph is accurate?

Which is these is not a benefit of parallel structure? a)clarity b)classification c)emphasis d)balance
